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!
Tour was very good organized. Tour guide Placido was excellent. The only problems were hotels. May be it would be the good idea to have options to pay extra and stay in better hotels or even rooms.
