What people love about Central Italy Tours for Seniors
- Easy Pace Italy (Classic, Summer)
Well the first thing I need to add is Easy Paced is a misnomer. You need to be in pretty good shape to keep up, especially if you do all the side trips.It is a hectic pace to say the least, but we had a blast. The side tours were excellent and the local experts were fantastic. they were very knowledgeable and funny and really added some local color. Our tour guide Brad McEuen was just great. A font of knowledge, kept everything interesting and kept you moving. He had a lot of great tips on how to manage the local foibles. He was on top of everything. the rooms were tolerable but a little less than we expected, except the Hilton in Venice, that was a beautiful place. But nothing was that bad, the beds were decent and it was nice having American/European style breakfasts included.The side trips were the highlight for me. Now the food was less impressive. The provided dinners ranged from OK to lousy. The food in general wasn't that impressive.Very repetitive but the pasta and pizza were consistently good.Forget the meat and fish dishes, everything was overcooked and tough IMHO. We did try out of the way places with the same result, but we weren't willing to spend 300 Euros on a meal. All in all we were very happy did the trip and the company Insight took care of everything which eliminated a lot of stress. I would recommend them to most people that are looking to see a lot but not be on their own all the time.
- Independent Rome, Florence & Venice City Stay
We enjoyed the tour very much, Errica the tour guide was fantastic, friendly.
- Tuscan Treats
The leader and driver were fantastic... couldn't have been better! The itinerary was also excellent but was a little crowded several days and might have been spread a little differently. All of the accommodations were wonderful, except the last at the Frattoria. it had an inconvenient bathroom and was not as friendly. However the food everywhere was delicious. The cooking class was wonderful!! We all worked together to make a delicious Tuscan meal that we now know how to make at home.
