Patricia was very friendly and informative. Franco our driver was very helpful and patient. Together they helped us make memories of a life time.

100% recommend!! If this is your first time to Italy, I highly suggest you do this excursion. It’s a bit rushed but you get a taste of several regions so the next time you return to Italy you can spend more time in the cities you like. Patrizia, our tour guide, was professional, coordinated and spoke perfect English. Our driver, Luigi, was patient, drove safely and wore a black blazer everyday, so professional! He always kept the bus clean and tidy. I and my 2 young adult children, 17 & 20 loved it and hope to return in the future. Bravo Patrizia and Luigi!

This trip was more than I expected, on this one you done see Rome unless you book additional activities. However this is still so worth taking. I went to areas of Italy I wasn't aware of and the countryside views are amazing. The guide we had Clara was super, very kinda and always looking out for the safety and accountability of the large group. She also was very knowledgeable and offered lots of suggestions on food, wine and areas to visit. So many beautiful things seen on this tour, however my favorite was Pisa with the leaning town. It was breathe taking to me. I also enjoyed just the beautiful area with the mountains and greenery. Also so many beautiful churches to see. Amazing tour I think. Also lots of walking was involved and on 2 occasions the meals provided weren't the best but definitely edible. Overall amazing time. Definitely would recommend for first visit to Italy .🇮🇹 💚🤍❤️
