    The itinerary was excellent. Tour director Anita & driver Mikele provided excellent service as well. The fact we all had to put our own luggage on the bus was unfortunate & I hope this will change in the future. The dinner we had in Turin was fantastic. Hotels were acceptable for Cosmos price.

    An exceptional tour very varied and amazing scenery. My only comment would be that it would have been much more relaxing to have two nights in a couple of the overnights stops especially Lake Como A great tour guide very organised and personable.

    Our driver, Genaro and guide, Zsofia were amazing! For our very first European trip we got lucky with really nice people. Zsofia even helped me order cakes for my husbands bday! She is super nice even when she had to deal with other peoples issues.

    The itinerary was perfect and included a few unexpected surprises like the travel pass in St Moritz. That turned out to be a real highlight of the trip.

    Asked on December 2nd, 2023

    How much freedom do we have to go hiking/exploring on our own? I see one day in the itinerary that leaves us to do as we please. We're concerned this trip would be a whole lot of riding/sitting/herding, and not enough walking/hiking.
