We were expecting to be picked up at our hotel for Verona tomorrow at 10am. We now have to be at the visitors information centre, 38 minutes walk from our hotel at 6.45. Breakfast, which does not commence until 7am, was included with our tour, we will have to now leave before 6am. I am hoping you will provide at least some compensation, or a pick up from our hotel as advertised. Regards Mary Wallace. This was the email I sent to the company who did the Verona tour. I don't think you want a review from me as we are out of pocket and inconvenienced . Regards Mary.

We enjoyed the tour overall but hotels definitely need to be upgraded. Though location of hotels in Florence and Venice was perfect but both were not better than a 2 stars rating. In Rome, what was reserved was not a hotel but a AirBnB kind of property and location was far from tour meetings and that needs to be considered. The best part of the tour was the trip to Pisa, Sienna and San Gimignano from Florence and above all the availability of our PoC at all time was a big plus.
