Michelle· October 19th, 2024I was hoping for something exciting and positive, which it was! Unfortunately unpleasant things like horrible hotels [except for the last one] in poor locations, with a dangerous day in pouring rain with no tour guide available. Felt a bit unsafe. The hotels were in a very funky part of the city and could not be reached easily. I would have liked a tour that could give a map - good restaurants, sites, areas to go easily, even a way to get there by the guide was not provided. If you paid for the extra excursions you were bussed off to it, if not, on your own- lost. All the destinations were beautiful and I achieved my goals to see the Italian Lakes!Show moreTrip date: September 2024- GKGeoffrey· May 13th, 2024Well organized. Excellent, helpful, knowledgeable tour guide. Of the four hotels, two were great and two were just ok. The locations visited were interesting and each town had its own individual feel. The add on tours were very good.Show moreTrip date: May 2024
