    This 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.

    The tour was not actually 9 days - it was 5 days with the rest on your own. Best to book directly with the local tour company as you get real value that way.

    · July 10th, 2025
    We arrived at our hotel on day 1 of the ‘fully guided’ tour to discover there was no guide. The same apparently applies tomorrow. We were also advised to pick up bus vouchers so that we could tour Rome on a bus. The hotel informed us that they had received no vouchers. We were then wrongly directed to the bus stop, wasting a further 2 hours and missing our private booking at the Colosseum. Absolute shambles, the operator and hotel weren’t interested, and we feel stranded, having traveled all the way from New Zealand.

    I 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!

    For our first visit to Italy, this was a fantastic journey. 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!

    Our journey to Italy was fantastic, thanks to an incredible group of travelers and our exceptional guide, Carlo. The trip offered an ideal mix of planned activities and leisure time, allowing us to discover and enjoy experiences that would have been challenging to arrange individually or with a larger group. We highly recommend this tour!

    Tanya

    Asked on October 20th, 2024

    I would like to request a quote for a weekend getaway for my family (my wife, our 2-and-a-half-year-old child, and myself). We are initially interested in the Lake Como area (Bellagio, Nesso, Orrido di Bellano, and Varenna), including, if possible, a one-way trip on the Bernina Express. We have a credit with Yourradar, and our total budget would be around 1,000 €. We are open to other European destinations, preferably close to Spain, with the trip ideally taking place at the end of October or the beginning of November. We are looking for the planning and booking process to be as quick and simple as possible.
