  • 8-day Best of Italy: Rome, Florence & Venice reviewer 1
    · October 27th, 2025
    I recently did the Taste of Italy 8 day tour. Sabrina our tour guide was fabulous. She was friendly, knowledgeable & patient, especially with such a large group. Edmundo our driver did a great job as well. I enjoyed the itinerary and the towns we visited. The hotels we stayed in were a good choice. The extra lunches and dinners we did were good to do as a group, especially as I was travelling solo. I liked that we stayed in each place for two nights so we weren't constantly on the move. The only negative comment I have is, I felt that 60 people was too many.

    It was a great tour! Lots of walking though. I feel like this tour is for those who can walk long distances! Loved two of the hotels- both in Venice and Rome. Everything about Florence needs work- hotel is just okay! Food was horrible. Appreciated all the organization of our guide and driver was amazing! Greatly appreciated the airport transfers and all the tickets included on tour! Will tour again with Tour Radar for sure 👍

    A lot of walking on cobblestones and stairs made it challenging to older people. The points of interest were great. The cities we visited were great. Our Guide Stephano was great. I only wish he would have given us a written page of restaurants and sites he recommended. Walter the busdriver was very skilled. We enjoyed the trip.

    Can you tell me the best times to schedule my arrival on the 26th and departure on the 3rd?

    Flights / Transfers
    Tour Details
    • Carrani ToursOperatorWritten September 2025

      On 26th September, the included activity is our Hop On Hop Off service, which you can use throughout the whole day. I would therefore suggest, if possible, to arrive in the morning so that you have more time at leisure to explore our Eternal City. On the last day, no activities are included, so I recommend booking a flight in the late afternoon or evening in order to enjoy the city a bit longer. Please note that hotel check-out is in the morning, but you can leave your luggage in the hotel storage and return later for your transfer to the airport.

    Audrey

    Accommodation
    Tour Details
    • Carrani ToursOperatorWritten August 2025

      The 8-day tour actually includes 7 nights, not 5. Since it is a group tour, the departure and arrival dates are fixed. However, if you would like to arrive a day earlier, we can certainly assist in securing accommodations for an additional night prior to the tour, at your own cost.

      TravelerWritten July 2025

      Is there any way for my wife and I to squeeze in the Ferrari museum? Even if it means skipping Bologna or traveling to Venice on our own?

    • Carrani ToursOperatorWritten July 2025

      It is possible but you would lose our services for that day. Consider that you and the group will arrive approx at 11.00am in Bologna. You can then separate from the group and go back to Venice on your own that evening for the overnight. If you decide to arrange this just inform us.
