What people love about Italy Tours from Rome
- 5-day Best of Italy: Rome, Florence & Venice
We had a great five days with our tour director Stefano, and our excellent driver Luigi. Stefano was outstanding at his job, he was very informative and always patient, and kept everything running smoothly. We appreciated how he took care of all the details, even writing out the city bus instructions on our itinerary in the lobby of the hotel in Mestre! This tour is an excellent way to see a lot in a short period of time. We visited many more towns than I would’ve ever seen if I’d planned it myself! The hotels were both clean and convenient, and we were lucky to have a small group on the bus, so we had lots of room to stretch out.
- 8-day Best of Italy: Rome, Florence & Venice
We had the 8-day UNESCO Jewels Best of Italy tour, and it was fantastic! Airport transport for both arrival and departure went smoothly. The tour agency was always quick to respond to emails. The tours had a nice balance of free time and included activities, and the optional tours were reasonably priced and of good quality. The bus was comfortable, though the bus Wifi unreliable. The bus driver was friendly. Hotels were comfortable, better than I expected actually. Locations were all convenient, and included breakfasts were simple but superior to complimentary continental breakfasts found in the United States. Included meals were okay; two were average and two were excellent. In general, even for meals not included, I found food in Italy to be on the saltier side. The highlight of the tour was definitely our phenomenal tour director Clara Leone. She was crazy but so much fun, and really cared about all of us. She took the time to get to know us all and frequently gave personal recommendations for each city in our tour. I had a fantastic trip and it was nice that everything was taken care of for me.
I enjoyed the tour. It hit all major cities and the tour guides were amazing. I wish there were some sort of activities involved like pasta making or something to really do more.
Mamma Mia! Best of Italy
