- AAntonio· July 8th, 2023Our tour director Roberto, (and our driver Alesio) were fantastic and made the experience all the more enjoyable. Very knowledgeable, patient, and caring; Roberto made a point of speaking to everyone on board and when possible tried to accomodate . We had great local experts as well, and many unexpected surprises that truly makes one appreciate the beauty and culture of Italy. I highly recommend this trip as an Intro to Italy, and I will certainly be booking with Trafalgar again.Show moreTrip date: May 2023

Jennifer· August 20th, 2022THIS IS NOT ABOUT A TRIP WE NEVER ARE GOING TO BE DOING: THIS IS PRE TRIP TROUBLE THAT YOU NEED TO BE AWARE OF, SO I APOLOGISE IF THIS SITE HAS NOT GIVEN ME THE OPPORTUNITY TO SAY "WHEN WERE YOU GOING TO TRAVEL". I PAID IN FULL for a tour that is meant to happen on 4 December this year. For the first four or so months of having paid up every time I rang they didn't even have me on their files and could not find me - I still have emails to this regard on file. Then I started asking questions about whether the tour was going to run or not as I kept seeing it still not filling up or running. This company wants only 45 day leeway to advise if it is NOT going to run BUT they want 100 day leeway from myself if I want to cancel my booking. Well, I HAVE requested a cancellation (and emailed them a letter written in handwriting as they request "A notification in writing from the customer" and they simply won't reply! Attempts at emailing have not received ANY REPLIES. I want you to know that I have done this way before 4 December and heard nothing from them! Ringing is impossible. The reason I cancelled is because a) my daughter is really introverted and has gotten worse since uni so we don't think the bus trip with so many others would be good for her; b) I have asked and asked if the coach has even filled a bit or what's happening to NIL response, and c) Just the attitude from them and the lack of care/concern re our account (I can't even see half the itinerary on the website, again, told them, nothing happened about it, it just cuts out). So I have cancelled in time and advise you of that now, but reading what I have, they DON'T REFUND in a timely mannner and I need my $7K to organise something else. Can't trust the trip to go and they want 100 days cancellation FROM us but only want to give 45 TO us if it DIDN'T go. Not enough time for us to organise something else. Should this not be resolved I'll take it as high as possible as this is the last trip we will be doing as mum and daughter, and also, the TV programs are asking for these things to be told and to show the companies that are not treating everyone very well. I am beside myself as this $ is inheritence and needs to be given back so we can do what is right by my sister, who wished us this, and we want to do it asap.Show moreTrafalgar commented on this reviewThank you for sharing your account here with us.
