Italy Tours in Spring

Packs a lot into the 10 days. A wonderful introduction to Italy for anyone (such as myself) who had not previously visited. The local guides were all very engaging and knowledgeable, and a big plus. As others have noted, "Easy Pace" is perhaps a slight misnomer -- there was quite a bit of walking! But nothing that we couldn't handle and we very much appreciated all the opportunities to experience Italy "on the ground." We hope to travel with Insights again!

Most was excellent except for the second accommodation hotel Poiano it was too far from the lake Garda and there was sewerage smell within the room,it was quite clean but it was not really a hotel it was like a holiday camp. Our director was great and very informative with a sense of humour, our last supper was very special I say this as I went and did another trip in Paris with Trafalgar and it was not, so have something to compare it to but all in all I enjoyed it another thing is it was not overcrowded on the bus whereas in Paris there were too many people in the group.Allin all I enjoyed it.

Absolutely wonderful tour and great itinerary! Highly recommend for a tour of Northern Italy. Travel time was planned smartly and efficiently to ensure the time was spent well. It's easy to add another extension before or after the group tour as well with Milan as a central location.

The trip was amazing- relaxing while still seeing plenty! It was a good balance of culture/cute towns & wine tasting. Also, don't skip out on the leather belt making in Florence, Ihad a blast doing that! Our trip manager was absolutely amazing & we also had the best dressed coach driver in all of Italy . It was also nice to stay in one hotel for the majority of the trip. It made it so that we could really 'unpack' & really soak in the Tuscan lifestyle.

This itinerary covered all our must see sights in Italy. Travelling the country roads meant we were able to see some smaller villages and stay in some quaint motels. We travelled in a modern, comfortable coach, with plenty of spare seats as there was only 25 in our group. Jackie was an excellent tour director. She gave extensive knowledge of each area prior to arrival, and even showed a few movies on the bus about the history of some sites. It was a faster paced itinerary than I expected, especially as we chose to do most of the optional extra trips. There was also a lot of walking up and down hills and stairs on some days, which needs to be considered if you have mobility restrictions. A thoroughly enjoyable trip. Highly recommended!

A lot of my fellow passenger had difficulty in remembering each other's names throughout the trip. I recommend for Trafalgar tour to provide each traveler a name tag lanyard to each passenger to wear, especially during breakfast, lunch and/or dinner. Each passenger will have the option to wear or not wear their lanyard name tag. We enjoyed the company of all the friendly passengers, our tour expert tour guide and excellent driver and .
