What people love about Coach / Bus Tours in Northern Italy
- Northern Italian Lakes & Countryside
Really well looked after, great tour guide with lots of knowledge, good optional excursions as well as included tours. Second trip with Trafalgar
- European Adventurer (Plus, Start London)
I LOVED contiki it was probably the best experience of my life. The experience would not have been the same without my tour guide Chris. He was so enthusiastic about his job and really showed our tour how to have a good time. I came to Europe with the highest exceptions and Chris definitely exceeded those ! When I go on my next Contiki I would hope to have Chris again as the service he offered was awesome.
- The Magic of the Italian Lakes
The Italian lakes scenery and towns where we stayed are magnificent Our guide Francesca was very thoughtful and gave of his time to solve all issues
