What people love about Rome to Venice Tours
- Mamma Mia! Best of Italy
I've always been fascinated by the culture and history of Italy, and this tour allowed me to fully immerse myself in it. We started in Rome and visited several other destinations across the country. Our expert guide Luca was super knowledgeable and provided lots of interesting insights into the culture and traditions of Italy. One of my personal highlights from Rome was visiting the Colosseum and learning about the gladiatorial games that took place there. In Florence, I was really impressed by the beautiful architecture and artwork at the Uffizi Gallery. But the real highlight of the tour for me was our visit to Venice. The city is just stunning, with its winding canals and gorgeous landmarks. We even took a gondola ride, which was a truly magical experience. Overall, this tour was an unforgettable experience. The hotels were decent and the food and wine were ofcourse amazing. I'd highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to experience the best of Italy.

The tour itself was a bit ambitious - not enough time in many places (Rome and Florence for example). On the other hand, I did get to see towns/ cities I would not otherwise have seen. The pace was good. The introductory walks in each new destination were excellent. The accommodation was much better than I expected! One suggestion: forget la Spezia. Try to organize accommodation in one of the cinque terre villages or Portovenere. There was really nothing in la Spezia, and it’s only used as a gateway to cinque terre. It’s a bit of a yawn! Yuri was a terrific tour leader. He was engaging and enthusiastic. There were lots of physical activities but no pressure to join in if someone wanted to do something else. Yuri’s knowledge of each place we went was so welcomed. He was fun, understanding, helpful. He went out of his way to assist me when I encountered a couple of unexpected difficulties. I couldn’t have asked for a better tour leader.
- Mamma Mia! - 13 Days/12 Nights
This tour is great! My mom and I did the 2 week Mamma Mia tour and loved it! It was a very great experience, we did so much that we wouldn't have been able to do in such a short period of time. The guides were professional, charismatic, prompt, and very understanding. They really were a large contributing factor as to what made this tour so good! Italy on a budget was definitely the way to go if you're coming to Italy for the first time and want to see everything! So much fun, and I would definitely do it again!
