Ok, I have to,be up front from the beginning. I didn't think a coach tour would be for me. I'm not too keen on lengthy bus travel and had grave concerns that I would be restless and sore after hours in the seat. Well, nothing could have been further from the truth. What a time we have had!!! Rome, Sorrento, Orvieto, Perugia, Radda in Chianti, Lucca, Parma and Venice. Phew, sounds exhausting right? Nope, it was exhilarating. To be fair, it's a busy pace and we did have quite a few "sparrow-fart" starts but once on the road Brad, our fabulous Tour Director, kept us entertained with his extraordinary knowledge of the history and nuances of the places we visited. He had so many interesting facts and figures in his head we decided that next quiz night any of us had, he was on our table. We had people of varying degrees of fitness and walkability and Brad was across things for everyone, at times suggesting alternative routes and at others ensuring that the complexity of the stroll was explained so informed decisions could be made. He did somewhat underestimate the length of stroll from time to time but we just smiled and started joking with him about whether it was a normal Block or a Brad Block. The hotels were all excellent quality although it appears that European bathrooms aren't required to adhere to the same standards as those we enjoy at home. In fact, I think European baths are preposterous in their economy of width. At least they have an emergency cord which can be used when suction gets the better of you Show more

We just returned from a Country Roads of Italy Insight tour. It was an amazing tour with Diego as our coach driver and Shona as our tour guide. Shona had a wealth of information to share, was so fluent in many languages and told many stories and jokes. We were well informed and entertained. Shona was incredibly organized with all of our transportation and meals and options. Diego was a most capable driver. Our highlights were the Amalfi Coast, Sorrento and Pompeii and Tuscany. There are so many beautiful areas to enjoy. We usually choose the Country Roads tours because we love to get away from the busier areas and see the quieter country side. Thank you Insight and Shona for a lovely Italian holiday. Sue and Jim in CanadaShow more
