What people love about Greece and Italy Tours for Seniors
Our tour leader, Romeo, was impeccable, and personable. Made sure everyone felt well taken cared of, despite the busy schedule. The drivers were great, and very safe. Some more free time was needed for everyone to do their shopping. Food in most restaurants included were mediocre. More time should have been given for Tuscany countryside dinner.
