    The tour provided the core requirements for our Italy week. I would only suggest providing suggested hotel transport if not including and adjusting the price.

    Great way to travel. Liked the tours, guides were excellent, knowledgeable & easy to understand. Also liked the openness of making our own plans for other tour sites. Accommodations were good. Locations were great for getting around the cities.

    Our tour of Italy was great. The accommodations were top notch and close to the main tourist attractions. I was worried about the transitions from location to location with a family of 5 but the process was seamless. When I arrived in Venice we just had to arrange a water taxi to get to the hotel instructions or helpful hints for that would have been helpful but it didn’t take long to figure it out.

    Our group of 6 friends had a fantastic time. The hotel locations we found to be ideal and splendid rooms. The tours we chose were great and informative. The booking was incredibly easy and agent was so helpful. I recommend the tour package we built.

    The daily tours were amazing and 100% worth having guided tours set up for us all we had to do was arrive and meet the guide. Transport to and from all train stations would have been much appreciated. Some hotels had stairs up to an elevator which was tough with big luggage, but the locations were excellent. Would recommend taking strozzi Palace Hotel off the list for Florence though, quite dingy and old.

    Beautiful cuties. The arranged tours were fantastic and we were provided excellent instructions on what to expect. One drawback of the trip was the day in Tuscany. The sites we visited were amazing, but due to the aggressive schedule, we did not have a lot of time to explore the cities. In Pisa, by the time we finished our 18 minute walk from the tour bus to the site, no tour tickets were available so that we could make it back to the tour bus.

    High-speed train package boasted excellent, well-located hotels facilitating easy access to major attractions. Though the three included tours were enriching, I suggest augmenting the package with diverse experiences to deepen understanding of Italy's rich history and culture. Overall, a fantastic journey with potential for expanded cultural immersion.

    The Italy high-speed train tour was solid overall, but my preference leaned toward superior hotels for added comfort. The standout was the knowledgeable and charming Venice guide who not only shared insightful details but also warmly cared for the children during the tour. A generally satisfying Italian journey.
