Costsaver commented on this reviewThank you for your feedback and thank you for being our guest. We are so pleased that you have enjoyed the tour.Trip date: April 2025 - NJNick· November 11th, 2024The Italian Scene tour was fantastic. You see the highlights of all the cities visited and the optional experiences are wonderful extensions. On top of that is the fact that the tour director gives us historical information and points out interesting things as we travel from city to city on the auto coach (bus) safely driven by an expert driver.

- Amina· September 5th, 2024Our tour director Alfonso and the driver Massimo were very nice, respectful and professional. The coach/bus was always clean with working A/C, USB slots and Wi-Fi. However, most of the activities were extra, so we had to pay extra money. In regards to the hotels, only one of them was good and new, all the others were very old, most of them were far from everything and outside of the city, some the hotels' staff wasn't always courteous Ergife Hotel in Rome was very old, the carpets in the rooms were dirty with multiple stains and some parts were torn out. We needed to iron our clothes, the front desk employee said the room where the iron is is closed. Europa Stabia Hotel, the room was OK except for the hand/face towels that were like paper towel. They get very wet after the first use. In regards to the staff, the person who welcomed us was very nice but the breakfast area staff and especially their head was very rude and unpleasant. Frate Sole Hotel was changed last minute and we ended up staying at Villa Leonora at Assissi which was overall OK. The complimentary dinner was very good and the chef even went out of his way and made chicken for us because we don't eat pork. Burchiello II Hotel in Mira was very old, smelly carpets like mold, very poor breakfast with grumpy unpleasant restaurant staff. The room was tiny and so was the bathroom. If you need to iron your clothes, you have to wait for them to open a separate room which had an iron but a regular table. Starhotels Grand Milan Saronno was the best hotel of all. Clean, big and clean room, nice varied breakfast buffet, welcoming and pleasant staff. They have a laundry room in the basement with 3 washing machines and 3 irons with their ironing boards. Overall the tour was good, despite the hotels' choice.Show moreCostsaver commented on this reviewThank you for taking the time to provide us with your review.

- Carol· November 14th, 2023This was an incredible trip. There was so much to see, however,I never felt rushed. The room at the Ergife hotel ( 1st night) was very disappointing. It was very small and needed to be renovated. The bathroom looked dirty. But, the last night we had a huge, beautiful room. I didn’t care for the boat ride on Lake Como. The food at the hotels were only average. Meals that were planned outside the hotels were wonderful. Our travel director, Paolo was fabulous! He was a wealth of knowledge and a very sweet person. I would highly recommend this trip.Show moreCostsaver commented on this reviewThank you for taking the time to write your review.

Natasha
Asked on June 4th, 2025Are the 9 breakfasts buffet/hotel style? Are the Vatican Museum, Sistine Chapel, Uffizi Gallery, and Gondola ride included? Is Arrival-Departure transportation included? If not, where can we purchase it online and how much approx. per person? What is pre and post tour accommodation?
CostsaverOperator•Written June 2025The specific style—whether buffet or hotel-style—may vary depending on the accommodations. Typically, the included breakfasts at the hotels where guests stay often feature buffet-style options. However, the exact format can differ based on the hotels. The Gondola ride is the only optional experience offered on this tour. The Vatican Museum, Sistine Chapel, and Uffizi Gallery are not included and are not offered as optional experiences. If you wish to visit these attractions, you will need to arrange your own visit separately at your own cost. Costsaver no longer provides airport transfer, therefore, you will have to arrange your own transportation to/from the airport at your own cost. Pre- and post-tour accommodation refers to lodging available before and after your scheduled tour. These additional nights can be arranged through us, and we typically offer hotels at the tour's starting and ending locations.
