    Almost excellent. Itinerary, guide, coach and driver were all fist class.The only let down was the last hotel in Venice. The Gigli. Everything about the hotel was poor. The lack of room in reception. The tiny elevators. The wait service was not friendly or accommodating at all.

    The experience overall was very organized. The hotels were okay although the beds were uncomfortable. The tour had too many optional experiences and if you didn’t pay for them then you would be left without doing much. I wish the majority of the tours were included in the package.

    We recently took a guided tour in Europe, and I must express my disappointment. The tour was quite expensive, yet it fell short of expectations in several key areas. Firstly, the hotel choices were very poor. We were placed in hotels that were far from the quality we anticipated. This significantly impacted our overall experience. Additionally, the tour package offered no inclusion. Almost everything came at an extra cost, from meals to entrance fees at attractions, which were extremely high- often doubled the price of similar guided tours offered by tourist attraction places. Some attractions that were free of charge were being charged 45 euros for each person, which felt like a rip- off. We had hoped for a more comprehensive experience, especially given the high price tag. Unfortunately, this tour did not deliver. I would not recommend it to others looking for value and quality in their travel experience.

    As our "first" time in Italy, was wonderful. Very full on and very busy. Rome was fabulous, and the accommodations were good. Cannot say the same for the accommodation in Florence, that was not so good, and very average food on offer. The accommodation and meals in Venice were very good. We were disappointed that our tour did not include inside of the Colosseum in Rome. Loved seeing Pisa and the Italian history and architecture was all I had imagined. Alas, for us, it was peak holiday period for Italy, and Europe in general, so very crowded & busy in all destinations. Venice was and is a very special and enchanting city, and the Murano glass facility was a wonderful bonus. We found the "optional" additional tours can really add quite an extra cost factor to the tour, but should have taken some time to do that math & research prior to the trip, and we struggled a bit with the "tipping fee" at the end of the trip for our guide & driver. (we do not normally "tip" in Australia, so found it a bit of an added extra) Our tour guide, Alessia Crosti, was absolutely wonderful and a delightful lady, and most informative, along with her back up guides, and Guiseppe, our tour bus driver, was fabulous also. Overall it was wonderful, and thank you.

    Our family did the Jewels of Italy Cost Saver Tour over Christmas Dec 2022. Italy was beautiful and the tour itself was ok. To be honest, in deciding if the tour is right for you, we felt that it really does depend on what you want out of the tour in regards to your own personal travel requirements. For us , we initially decided to take this tour as we felt that it would be easier since we were travelling with our 2 children (aged 11 and 14) for the ease of transferring between each main Italian city to see the highlights, without having to take the train with all our luggage etc. We had not been to Italy before so we were not really sure how easy it may be to navigate the public transport etc. For this purpose, if you really do not want to arrange your own transport and deal with your luggage, the tour was ok. However if you are a traveller who enjoys arranging their own itinerary and likes to stay close to the main centres to be easily able to access all the main sites etc at your leisure, and opt into doing your own thing sometimes, then this is not the tour for you. We opted into costsaver rather than another all inclusive company tour as we were led to believe that the optional excursions would be 'optional' and we could pick and choose to do the ones we wanted and then opt out of the ones we didn't want to and then arrange our own activities on those days. This was not possible as the hotels were all so far out of the city and the excursions were arranged in such a way that the optional excursions were simply extensions of what the main included programmes for the day were, without going back to the hotel in between; and so it was basically assumed that you would do all the optional excursions and there were very little options to opt out of these if you chose (basically the options were catch your own taxi or public transport back to the hotel at your own costs, which usually was an hour long trip at your own expense). Our children were the only ones on the tour, which wasn't a problem for us, but just something to be aware of, as we felt that this tour really only suited older travellers who wanted a pre-set itinerary with little flexibility.

    Tour Details
    • CostsaverOperatorWritten March 2025

      Unfortunately, the tour departing on July 13, 2025, is already sold out. However, the next available departure is on July 20, 2025, and we currently have space for three people. For accommodations, the cost for a triple room is $1,595.00 per person. Triple rooms are best suited for two adults and one child, as they typically have one double bed and one foldaway bed, which can be a bit tight for three adults due to limited space for luggage. Alternatively, you might consider booking one twin room for two adults and a single room for the third adult. The cost for the twin room is $1,625.00 per person, and the single room is $1,875.00.
