What people love about Central Italy Tours for Seniors
- Easy Pace Italy (Classic)
Well organized and informative.
- Rome and Tuscan Highlights
This was my first big group tour and it was wonderful. Our trip leader was knowledgeable, helpful and a lot of fun.
- Premium Rome to Venice (9 destinations)
This was our first tour. It was very informative and the cities that were explored were both interesting and beautiful. Unfortunately Italy was experiencing a heat wave and all the walking turned into a lot of sweating ( not your fault ). If in the future we go on another tour... it will be with Tourradar.
