What people love about Italy Tours in September
- 5-day Best of Italy: Rome, Florence & Venice
Was a great tour of so many cities. Would have liked a more detail itinerary at the beginning of the tour.
- 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.

Really enjoyed the tour. Good mix of organised tour and free time. Only downside were the strict early starts but otherwise couldn’t fault it
