Marilyn T. | Traveled in December
I enjoyed the entire experience. My favorite was Pompeii. The weather is comfortable at that time of year. The tour activities were planned appropriately. The tour manager was outstanding!
Bridget G. | Traveled in December
Excellent experience overall. Well coordinated with all itinieraries executed in good time. Just a few hiccups due to miscommunication. Would recommened to reach out to customers for better coordination. Otherwise, we enjoyed.
Dawn A. | Traveled in December
Paolo was amazing especially when one of the girls had her passport taken from her safe in her room-he helped her get what she could get done and then she went to Florence with us -- walking tours were a little long but all was good
William C. | Traveled in December
Love staying in one hotel. Really enjoyed seeing the owner of hotel every day in hotel and around town. Paolo was fantastic. Genuinely cared about us. Great daytime tours. Love the added stop to see The American war cemetery You can tell the vendors / hosts enjoy their relationship with Collette.
John L. | Traveled in December
My tour was fantastic. Everything about it. From our tour guide to the local guides, to the accommodations. To choose just one experience as my favorite would be impossible. Every day was a joy. Many times, after a couple of weeks you are looking forward to going home, despite a good experience. On our last day of this tour, and I know many others felt this way too, I found myself wishing we had more days and I wanted more. In the words of a famous American actor, I'll Be Back!
George P. | Traveled in December
The tour was comprehensive, led by knowledgeable guides. Many days started earlier than I would have preferred, but that is the trade-off for including as much as this tour did. The farms we visited were among the best parts of the tour, with captivating demonstrations and excellent meals. The food throughout the tour was, for the most part, excellent, although meals at hotels did not measure up to those off-site.
