    Wonderful Tour with Excellent Tour Leader

    This tour is a great introduction to Italy, just as its title says: A TASTE OF ITALY. Our tour leader, Alessandro, was informative regarding all the sights we visited. He was well-organized and consistently accommodated the needs and requests of the group members. We enjoyed the tour accommodations and the included meals. Our driver, Angelo, also assisted us greatly. We attended all of the optional excursions and they were very enjoyable.

    Wonderful experience!

    We enjoyed the tour very much. Although very fast-paced we saw a lot. The only downside was the extreme heat that had an effect on us. Our tourleader, Steph, was excellent and Angelo, the bus driver, was very skillful. I think Italy is just awesome and beautiful.

Our family really enjoyed this tour! It is fast paced, and a lot of steps so be prepared for that. But it is a great way to see a lot of places in a short period of time. We felt the time allotted in most destinations was enough. I would highly recommend this tour for people who want to see a lot of places in just a week.

Venice by night was sensational!
Taste of Italy tour is exactly what it is a taste, you will definitely be back and do another Italian tour because you will fall in love with this beautiful country! It was my first tour ever and I had no expectations, however I was blown away by the care and information we were given by Moona and our driver Mauricio throughout our tour. I highly recommend it and be prepared to do lots of steps! Ensure you do the additional excursions and take the opportunity of every stops and visit the duomos, they were the highlights! I will be back to do the south Italy part of the tour.

Tour director, Shabby, was very informative and tried to me everyone's needs. Our driver, Rafael, was the best driver I have ever seen!!!! Only thing to add is the friends I met were the best and made my trip so much more remarkable!!!!
