Brill trip - Excellent trip, issues on the day relating to flooding in Italy which was out of the control of the company which meant train instead of coach but they adapted very well with excellent communication. Highly recommend

It was awesome! - With my stomach full of carbonara and typical desserts, I can say that this was maybe the best tour I´ve ever taken! Can´t describe with words all the beautiful places we´ve visited. Each one surpassed the previous one. When I´ve come back, my friends asked me my favorite place and I can´t tell one! For sure, I´ve recommended it to them! They can´t wait!

Great! ;) - I was mistaken! I thought that choosing a bilingual tour was a bad idea, but I could barely notice it! The way the guide explained the city, was masterfully. Loved everything!
