Best holiday ever. Our tour guide Debra was amazing we were so lucky to have her
Nice overview of many of the regions of Italy. Our guide, Deborah, was amazing and made the trip so fun and enjoyable. She also worked tirelessly to make sure every detail was perfect. She coordinated all of the logistics at each city we stayed in and everything ran smoothly. I will only travel with a guide and Luxury Gold on future trips!!! The tour was excellent.
I really like the places we went. Each city had something special to see. Everything was arranged for us, and it made it very easy, even for an older person .
Fantastic trip with a super guide(). The ability to see the beauty and culture of Italy in an eleven day , first class journey was amazing!

Extremely great overview of Italy. At times, felt a bit rushed with the itinerary, but really hard to criticize given the amount of places and locations that we visited. ,, our host was absolutely outstanding. We literally worried about nothing other than showing up when we were supposed to. Would absolutely recommend this trip to anybody.

Fabulous and well planned trip! An excellent way to see so many cities in Italy. The hotels and food were first class. We loved all the special touches organized by our travel consultant !
Attention to detail.
Absolutely fantastic. The tour provided an amazing experience.
The tour from day one to day end was amazing. Far exceeded our expectations in every aspect. Belinda our tour director was superb….if there were any problems we didn’t know about it. She was extremely knowledgeable…..well versed in the history surrounding our sights…..exhibited a true passion for the beauty of Italy and its jewels of architecture, art, sculpture. She was intimate with every city and location we visited….knew the best places to go, shop eat…helped us find our way….and from the first moment she met us, made us feel so much at home. The trip was hassle free…..loved every minute…did not want it to end….loved the sights and the food and the wine and the shopping….learning so much….a perfect balance of directed tours and being on our own. We wanted to get a feel for the culture….not just see the sights…and we more than did that. The Hotels all five star….and several truly out of a storybook they were so fabulously appointed….and the views….amazing…. We got to see a lot of the landscape in Italy…..what a beautiful country…..great weather…..the itinerary was perfect…the right amount of time at every stop…and a great group….the trip felt magical… Some nice surprises provided by the Tour…special baked goods on the bus after coming from Capri…..some nice stops for coffee and baked goods at various times….loved listening to the music at the Plaza in Venice… The dinner at the Machiavellian Estate was super special….and that night our group truly became a “family.” So special. My wife and I have traveled extensively throughout our lives…..and this by far was the crown jewel of all our travel’s. It was a brisk pace, which we loved. Not wasting a moment of our time to learn, grow and enjoy Italy in so many ways. Thanks so much
Not 8 miles walking one day in Rome That is way too much walking for us old people.
The itinerary was packed but never overdone. The activities were varied, not just walking tours to see the sights. We ate, we sampled wine, we cooked, we watched artisans at work, we boated & rode the rails. Never a boring moment!
My partner and myself found the tour of Italy absolutely perfect. Our tour guide was so professional with her knowledge and detail she was just brilliant. Our bus driver was also great really, his handling of the bus and some very tight places was incredible .
