What people love about Italy Tours in September
- 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.
- 8-day Best of Italy: Rome, Florence & Venice
We had a great time, we saw so much. Tour bus was comfortable, hotels very nice, clean and comfortable. We had big breakfast every day, the other meals on tour were OK. the final lunch was WONDERFUL, lasagna was delicious!
- Rome, Florence, Venice, Milan: signature (4* hotels) low carbon tour by train
Everything was great, having hotels, trains and tours booked for us made everything so stress free. All the tours were wonderful and we would definitely book with TourRadar again. Thank you
