Eskapas commented on this reviewThank you Mary for your review. Kind Regards, AysegulTrip date: August 2025 - BSBilal· August 15th, 2025We were able to see many cities in a short amount of time, with cultural sites and modern culinary experiences included. Hotels were a mix from brand new (they are still putting the doors in, to needing a renovation urgently.) Overall, this tour packed a lot of elements into a tight schedule. So come prepared to get up early in the morning and be on the go until evening. Also be aware that there will be many travelers from different booking agencies. Similarly, different operators are handling parts of the itinerary so there is quite a bit of hand-off. This may confuse you initially as not everyone will follow the same schedule for the whole tour.Show moreEskapas commented on this reviewHi Bilal Thank you very much for your review.

- Jake· August 8th, 2025I’m not usually big on organized tours, but this one actually worked out great. The trip hits all the major spots — Rome, Florence, Venice, Sorrento, Pompeii, Capri — and yeah, it’s a lot. You’re on the move almost every day, but it didn’t feel rushed. Just be ready for early mornings and some walking. Some standouts for me: • The guides in Florence and Pompeii were the best. Super passionate, actually funny, and open to questions. • In Bologna, there was a local food experience — not a full meal, but more like tastings and some street food. It felt authentic, not touristy. • Capri was amazing. We got to see the Blue Grotto (worth it) and still had time to explore the island a bit on our own. That day felt like a vacation within the trip. One thing about Rome: It was guided — we had the Vatican and museums covered with a proper guide — but we also booked the optional Colosseum tour, which was with a different group and guide, and we had to get to the meeting point ourselves. That part felt a bit disconnected from the main tour, just something to keep in mind if you’re doing add-ons. Also, after day 8 (when the tour heads south to Sorrento and the Amalfi side), the group can change. Some people left, some joined. It wasn’t a huge deal, just caught me off guard a little. Hotels were clean and well-located. Not luxury, but solid. The bus was actually way more comfortable than I expected — air-conditioned, modern, no issues. If you want to see the best parts of Italy without having to plan every detail yourself, this is a great way to do it. You’ll be tired, yeah — but you’ll also come back with 500+ photos and no regrets.Show moreEskapas commented on this reviewHi Jake, Thank you for your time to review us.

- Sophia· July 21st, 2025This tour exceeded my expectations. The itinerary was packed but very well-paced — I never felt rushed. Our guides in Florence and Pompeii were absolutely brilliant and passionate. Also, the food experiences in Bologna and Montepulciano were a dream for a foodie like me! Everything was smooth and organized. I traveled solo and felt safe and looked after throughout the trip.Show moreEskapas commented on this reviewHi Sophia Thank you for your time to review us.

- JMJessica· June 18th, 2025I would say overall it was a great trip, the negatives were the last minute change in regards to sites visited. Okay we adapted only to find out others on the tour we're able to visit this unnamed site! Bummer for sure. We booked other tours which were great but ended up switching guides and transport multiple times hauling our luggage the whole time. Oh well we adapted and pushed through. It often felt like we were nomads with other tour groups. End result other than this was a thumbs up and look forward to our next tour!Show moreEskapas commented on this reviewHi Jessica Thank you very much for your review.

Every place has something special to offer, and our charismatic tour guide Luigi took the pressure off and provided us with an extremely educational introduction to each city. "With the group" and "on your own" time are well-balanced. Strongly recommended!Show moreEskapas commented on this reviewThank you for your review.
