Italy Eco Tours

Awesome weather, views and walking routes, stops and time to explore. Excellent tour guide, local knowledge, able to answer all questions, great briefings. Made the whole group welcome. Perfect accommodation, and food. Great base and easy bus or boat trips to start / end. Low season is a wonderful time to explore Amalfi coast, valleys, history and agriculture. No crowds. Great suprises of food and local people to introduce aspects of the local food, farming and music culture. Walking the paths and lots of steps is rewarding in this beautiful natural environment with a feast of architecture and views.

Enjoyed the pasta factory tour and lunch, as well as the changes in venue, from the business of Rome to relaxing Sorento and Stressa. Did not feel the experience for Murano glassblowing met my expectation; thought there would be more explanation of the skills of glassblowing & techniques. While making a purchase was asked which tour manager I was with, which implies they are getting a commission for sales. While in Stressa, a few people wanted to take the excursion to see the Alps, felt they were being pressured not to do it, but those who went really had a good time. Busdriver was also excellent, accomodating, and kind. When arriving in a new hotel, having a little more time to freshen up for dinner would be nice, did not feel appropriately dressed for dinner after traveling all day.

Truffle hunting Sitting in our down time on the Goudi Avenue in Barcelona Fragonard Purfumeur in Grasse My suggestions for improvement: I would like to have had less included meals. Some were delicious but some were just okay. My husband and would have preferred to select what we wanted to eat more times during the tour. We wanted more down time and a slower pace. In looking back, much of my favorite moments were when we stopped touring for even just a few minutes to enjoy a cup of delicious hot chocolate or green tea, in a quiet place, but even that was rushed and no time to linger or even finish our delicious drink. We had to leave to stay on schedule. That exact thing occurred twice on the tour and we were disappointment both times.

A fantastic trip with Explore on the Amalfi Coast. It is so much more than just a walking holiday. Our guide, Matteo, shared so much information about the history and background of everything we saw. He was engaging, had a great sense of humour, looked out for everyone and was very kind. He worked hard to make sure everyone had a great time. Our itinerary was varied, and each day was interesting with some good surprises. The hotel was very good, run by a lovely team who were very welcoming and helpful. Our dinners in the hotel were delicious.

The European Dream was a fantastic tour. And when you have a tour guide like it made it even more memorable. The tour bus driver , the local experts were great too! The knowledge shared at each location was incredible.

Dream of a lifetime! ************ was so informative on every country we visited. Gave so much about the places we seen, plus told us what we shouldn't do in some places. He made it a fun and knowledgeable trip.
