What people love about Northern Italy Tours from Milan
- Country Roads of Northern Italy (Classic Group)
Absolutely fantastic itinerary. Well paced, excellent optional activities which ties in well with the tour. Visits parts of Italy which don't get as much attention as others such as Rome, Florence etc...
- Lakes & Lagoon : Lake Como, Lake Garda & Venice, 6 days private tour
Fantastico. EVERYTHING WAS OK, YHE BUS DRIVER WAS THE BEST
Amazing The tour was perfect for me. I am 73 and can’t walk a lot but we went on every road, every pass, every valley. Our fabulous guide, who loves this tour, made sure we could see all of its splendor. There were only 7 of us so the size was perfect and the van was comfortable too. My only suggestion is to upgrade the hotels, if you can.. One was too basic for me and the other had no air conditioning and the staff was unorganized. All in all, it was very good. I hope to use this company again
