What people love about Rome to Venice Tours
- Mamma Mia! - 13 Days/12 Nights
Just finishing up one of the best holidays of my life! We wanted to see Rome, Amalfi Coast, Cinque Terre/Pisa, Florence and Venice so booked the Mamma Mia tour and it was perfect! The tour had flexibility to do our own things as well as the security of an organized tour with someone helping us along the way. Excellent customer service from the office as well as the guides! Accommodations were clean, comfortable and convenient locations to sights. Special thanks to Sasa and Veronica! You were both amazing! :)
- 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.
- Rome, Florence, Venice: essential (3* hotels) low carbon tour by train
Everything from TourRadar was nice with this trip, except the Venice portion/tour. No instructions were given as to how to get to the island portion. Our tour in Venice was the 2 island tour. However, there were no instructions on how to get there. There should have been transportation provided since the hotel was not within walking distance what so ever. We had to pay for taxi to get to Venice ($25 Euros), then 3 tickets for the water ferry at $20 Euros each. We ended up missing our tour due to no communication/direction.
