Fantastic tour and very relaxed! I wish we had spent more time at the Amalfi Coast. Although the food was excellent, there may have been a few more alternatives.
Our tour guide was amazing and we had a great time. The local tour guides were fascinating and extremely knowledgable. Although it could be better in several places, the accommodations were good. The bus needs to be improved; it was poor!
Rome was fascinating because of its rich history. adored Florence’s cuisine. Venice was a little disappointing.
Before and throughout the tour, the team responded to our questions with great speed.
