What people love about Italy Tours in October
- Italian Discovery
We saw a lot of great places. The only reason not a five has to do with the information not received before the trip about optional side events offered by the tour such as the gondola ride. We scheduled several events on our own ahead of time since they were not included in the package. We would rather have gone with the group but didn't know about the possibility ahead of time. We also would have liked to have the same tour guide throughout the entire tour as well as the same group of people. The group kept changing and pick ups were complicated. Transportation back to the hotel was not a part of some of the tour and in our opinion should be included in the basic package. It is difficult to figure out bus/train systems in a foreign country and we should not have added expenses to be taken back to our hotels.
- 5-day Best of Italy: Rome, Florence & Venice
5 star!!! we truly enjoyed the whole trip!!!
- 8-day Best of Italy: Rome, Florence & Venice
Excellent tour guide Stephano professional friendly knowledgeable very helpful. the driver Luigi was excellent driver. He drove bus safely and maneuver well through tight spaces friendly as well. Excellent tour of the towns places and timing of visiting as well. A wonderful memorable experience. I will definitely use tour radar for future trips. Well organized Recommendation I would recommend making it clearer on descriptions of tours involves lots of walking and this would not work for elderly or anyone with any disabilities or unable to walk for long periods of time. Hotels roomed were ok except the Diana hotel extremely small. Wasn’t room to even have a night stand on either side of bed and the ned was a double not a queen size, only one person could even walk in the room at a time. I understand it’s an affordable group tour but this one room was terrible. Food was ok but it was a group tour so understanding you are making it affordable.
