What people love about Italy Tours in October
- 8-day Best of Italy: Rome, Florence & Venice
Amazing tour with Clara! We saw so many beautiful places I would never have visited on my own. All the hotels we stayed were excellent quality, location, and good choice for breakfast and dinner. Frank, the coach bus driver made frequent stops in route so we were never on bus more than 2 hrs between destinations. Clara and Frank made the trip extra special with good humor, history of cities and keeping us informed of meeting points so no one got lost during free times. Ciao Clara and Frank!

I loved Patrizia and Luigi
Walking the Almalfi Coast was the highlight of our 3 week trip to Europe. Martina was an excellent guide and kept our group organized, interested, and laughing. The dueTorri who owns the 2Torri hotel family was amazing! They provided excellent food and their hospitality was top notch. I would highly recommend this trip!
