What people love about Italy Tours in March
- Italian Discovery
Wow, where do I begin with this tour ? It was absolutely incredible! I've always been fascinated by Italy and this tour exceeded all of my expectations. Our tour guide (Sasha) was the best, she was so knowledgeable and passionate about the country and its culture. She made the history and architecture come alive for me. I can't believe how much I learned about Italy in just 10 days. I think my favorite part of the tour was visiting Rome, it's just so beautiful and rich in history. The Colosseum, the Vatican, and all the other amazing sights left me in awe. Tuscany was also amazing, the countryside is so picturesque, I felt like I was in a movie or something. And the wine, oh my gosh, the wine! The tour company really took care of us, the accommodation was comfortable, the food was delicious and I liked the small group size, it felt like traveling with friends. I would recommend this tour to anyone who loves history, culture and beautiful landscapes.
