What people love about Rome to Venice Tours
- Mamma Mia! Best of Italy
This tour was sooo good. Only problem was that it felt way too short. Every destination had its own charming/uniqie features. My personal favourites were Rome and Venice. Rome's rich history was definetly showing itself through the architectural structure of the city. On the other hand Venice felt unreal to me it was just so beatiful. Our guide Luca was very friendly he was knowledgable, thanks to him we learned a lot. I made a lot of great memories ...

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.
- Classical Italy
Gabby was so awesome. She was very friendly and knowledgeable. If she don't know the answer to a question she would find out. The only thing I would change about the experience is that you provide maps. During our free time, it's hard to navigate through a city you don't know. We didn't have data on our phones, so we couldn't just look it up so it made it a little stressful. In Rome we have a local guide who kept assuming we knew where we were and would seemingly get frustrated when we asked for directions/where something was, in relation to our meeting point. Other than that everything was wonderful. Thank you!
