This itinerary was wonderful. It included everything we were hoping to see and experience, with enough time to explore and absorb the locale.

It was great way to see a lot of Europe in a short amount of time. We did a lot and explored a lot! The tours offered main attractions and just the right amount of time.
Michael M. | Traveled in July
This was our first trip abroad and with a tour company and WOW what an experience. Fabio, our tour guide, was simply amazing! He seemed to know everyone in Italy. We were never waiting in line as he had prearranged tickets both for the in-tour events and the optional excursions. I felt like a VIP throughout the vacation. Fabio was thoroughly knowledgeable in every area we visited and provided recommendations on restaurants and areas to shop. I would like to take another tour with him as guide.

It was an excellent trip. We visited many amazing places. We had a great tour guide who gave us much insight and information about all the sights we visited. We traveled by bus, and our package included good food almost every evening. Also, our package included a buffet breakfast every day.
Jacqueline B. | Traveled in July
Only complaint I have is - it was hot and humid and on the day we toured Rome, too much walking in one day, burned out a few of the folks in our group.
