Loved the tour. Hotels were in city centers and all 4 star. Salvo is the best. He made the trip come alive. My only complaint was the second nights dinner. The salad was hard tasteless rubber and the Bream way too salty. Otherwise the meals were fine. I definitely recommend this tour - we had a blast.Show more
