Italy Tours in October 2026

Excellent tour. Local guides were all excellent. Itinerary was very good. Rome hotel was not in the best location. Not a lot around it like restaurants, cafes. Optional dinners were way overpriced and the optional Rome dinner was terrible. A number of the group complained to the tour director and most including us did not take the other 2 dinners. Optional tours were all good but again most people found them overpriced and felt that Insight should have included some of them in the package. Hotels were ok and were the same hotels that Globus tours used. Did not like the Palermo hotel even though it was in a fairly good location it was very dark had no place to meet up with others or sit and relax. It would have been nice to end the tour with a hotel by the water or with a pool.

As first time visitors to Italy, this was an excellent tour. We were able to cover a lot of ground and visit the major iconic sites during this trip. It was great knowing that all of the details of tickets to the sites, transportation, and transfers between hotels and locations was cared for so that we didn't need to worry about a thing. Our travel concierge, Anna, was excellent and extremely knowledgable and organized which made our trip even more enjoyable. We also felt that the small group size of 24 travelers made for a more intimate experience and enabled us to access sites and experiences with greater ease.

Tyson, our tour director, was knowledgeable, kind, well organized and exceptional. We saw everything I wanted to see and more. Tour was well organized and superb. I will be booking another Trafalgar Tour in the near future.

The experience was fabulous and covered key attractions and was well planned out to gain as much of the sights and memories to cherish for a lifetime! Fast paced and lot of territory to cover, plenty of walking, but well worth it. Highly recommend Trafalger.

Peppe was an excellent guide adapting each walk according to the weather. The hotel was in a stunning location with fabulous views over the lake. The picnic stops with amazing views were the highlights along with the ferry trip and walk in Bellagio.

The trip was fast paced, hit many of the highlights, had a wonderful travel director and driver. My gluten free diet was accommodated for with no issues. I loved travelling by bus, boat, funicular, train, etc.
