  • R

    Robert

    Asked on June 9th, 2024

    We have six ladies from 40-68 traveling together. Any chance of an itinerary like this with after hour tours in Rome and Florence? We are not crowd people. Just came back from Paris, and I don't think any of us want to do the Cattle feel tours any more.

    Age Range
    Group size
    Tour Details
    • Intrepid TravelOperatorWritten June 2024

      This is a group adventure of 12 people maximum, so you will not be part of large groups like other adventures you see on the website. Unfortunately the timing cannot be modified, but we can assure you that, as this is a small group adventure, you will not feel rushed and be a part of large crowd.
