It was well worth the money and we enjoyed the optional experience .
We weren’t always happy with the hotel choice but any issues we had the director addressed and made notes. So if you have any issues make sure to let your director know. Our coach driver was amazing, I have to add, because we felt safe. He was very professional and friendly. His drive skills were excellent!!

I would love for the breaks to be at a quaint town, and not a gas station. I was looking for to authentic food at each location, and not gas station food. The hotels were adequate, I was not expecting fancy, but the hotel in Assisi needs to not be used. It was not acceptable at all. The coach with excellent.

Got to see a lot with this itinerary. The hotels were good, clean but would have been good if they had laundry facilities to use as due to hot weather we all needed to wash clothes. Would have liked to have choice in the dinner menu on included meals as some were not great
The coach was great, our driver kept it really clean
