What people love about Italy Tours in October
- 5-day Best of Italy: Rome, Florence & Venice
5 star!!! we truly enjoyed the whole trip!!!
- 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!
- Sicilian Secrets - Mini Tour of Sicily 5 days
I appreciated the flexibility of joining the tour for a short period. My schedule did not allow for the full 10 day tour that some group members were doing so being able to join for the 5 day mini tour was great. The tour packs a lot in, it was well organized and the guides were good. I am usually an independent traveler, this was my first tour. I enjoyed the knowledgeable guides and the ease of the experience. My only concern was my room in Palermo was quite small and had a "view" of the hotel storage room, a nicer room would have been appreciated. Thanks!
