Overall the tour was fantastic. The food at the main hotel was not what I would consider true Italian cuisine which is what we were hoping for. I can get fish anyway of the week as I live in Florida. The itinerary was what we had hoped for, all of the places had there own uniqueness to them. Suggestion would be to supply name tags lanyards for tour guests so we would not have to keep asking for names to be repeated. Lastly Qilly Albrow was the perfect tour guide for this group of travelers. She was very engaging and her thoughts and suggestions were always well received.

Everything was well organized and our guide David was awesome! I loved the fact we stayed in the same hotel and made daily trips to visit several beautiful cities. It was wonderful.

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed the tour for itinerary, keeping the same hotel for each night of journey, and good balance of arranged guided tours to personal venture time. Tour manager Joanne Long was EXCELLENT! She made the entire trip most enjoyable with her friendliness, regional knowledge and accessibility by way of excellent communication before, during and after travel time together. Her high energy and professionalism kept a pleasant and cohesive atmosphere for the whole group to feel comfortable and at ease. Highly recommend this tour.

Loved the leader, Gilly. Loved the amount of free time and planned time as well. Perfecto. Loved the food at Ercolini and Savi. Loved that it wasn’t based in Florence. Loved the size of the group.
