- SNSylvia· January 20th, 2025We did the 17 Day Grand Italian Experience. We had the best time. Trafalgar took care of everything. This is the best way to visit Italy. Our tour guides were wonderful and very knowledgeable. We even had local tour guides for local tours. All the hotels were very nice and the food was excellent. I would highly recommend this tour. We will be booking other tours though Tour Radar / Trafalgar for sure in the future.Show more
