Vatican City Tours & Trips

I used Europamundo for the first time below are my comments 1) Airport transfer - smooth, driver was waiting, friendly, vehicle was clean. 2) All Hotels were comfortable, rooms clean and buffet breakfast excellent. 3) All local guides were very knowledgeable and friendly. 4) Bus to Florence and Venice was comfortable, except the toilet wasn't working. 5) Special mention for Lucas who was fantastic throughout. He is a credit to the company. 6) Overall a wonderful experience, would definitely use Europamundo again.

The planning was perfect. All transportation was on time and easy to spot. Hotel in Rome was amazing and perfectly located.

I've booked our recent Italy trip that ended mid-September through TourRadar for a milestone birthday celebration. It was a total of 8 days starting in Venice, going to Florence, and ending in Rome for 6 adults. Overall, it was a memorable, pleasant trip. Tour Radar does not run any tours themselves. They serve as a "one-stop shop" for comparing tours from many different companies that offer tours to the same location at the same time. One can select the month and location and then click on the various tours offered to see which ones fit one’s preferences. Sure, one can go directly with the tour company, but I found the discounts offered through Tour Radar made booking with them sometimes a better deal. Once we book, we become the "property" of the tour operator. They would continue to service our requests for as long as we needed. As for the requirements, one needs to purchase travel insurance and make their own flight schedule. The staff overall were pleasant to work with and very accommodating. A couple of days before we left, one of the staff and I had a Zoom meeting to go over the itinerary and ask questions. When I asked them what hotels we would see be staying at, they claimed they didn't know until several weeks before the tour. The hotels in the respective cities would be outside of the city center but close to the public transportation. They are usually rated as 3 stars. For the most part, they were acceptable to us with the air conditioner, especially in September, and the complimentary breakfast buffet. However, we didn’t agree to the location considered as 4-star (Best Western Hotel Piccadilly) in Rome. It was a good walking distance to the metro station. The front desk was situated up on the 3rd floor, requiring an elevator or stairs after arriving from a long day on a high-speed train on the first day with heavy luggage, deemed unacceptable. It is absolutely necessary to do one’s due diligence on researching the independent Google reviews on the name of the actual tour company, not TourRadar or Zoo. I only choose companies that have sufficient reviews and above-average satisfaction. Do not choose a company that has no reviews or bad reviews!
