- Trish· April 15th, 2025A 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.Show more

- CSCheryl· May 27th, 2024Overall the tour was good. However, the first night we toured Rome and then was told to find our own way back to the hotel!! We were exhausted after the long flight to Rome, then the tour, then had to find our own way back. I didn't feel like we were very well taken care of. Also, not everybody on the tour stayed at the same hotel which was weird. There wasn't any farewell dinner or social time to say goodbye and get addresses etc. I like tours that I feel like I am very well taken care of. This tour didn't do that. Sabrina, our tour guide said she could book extra tours if we would like. I asked her to book the colosseum three days ahead. She called one day ahead and there were no reservations available, so I had to call and book it myself.Show moreTrip date: May 2024
- MMMark· May 26th, 2024Disappointing overall. We seem to have been transferred from one company to another. The itinerary was a good idea but every guided tour was rushed, especially the Vatican. St Martin was a decent hotel but the others were clean but poor quality. Leaving the hotel before breakfast on some days wasn't such a bad idea considering the quality of the food available. The guide was blunt at times. The coach was basic, eg no loo or refreshments on board. We loved what we saw and will go back again soon but not on a guided tour.Show moreCarrani Tours commented on this reviewThank you, Mark, for taking the time to share your thoughts about our "8-day Best of Italy: Rome, Florence & Venice" tour.
