We truly appreciate you notifying us of your interest in the small group style, and we'll take this as valuable feedback for our team.

Are there smaller groups than 40 people? I am a senior. Would like to travel end september, for 2 weeks tour. Leaving from Toronto. I am not interested in sharing a room, as I prefer my own room. What is extra cost for solo traveler.

We have a small group for this trip which has maximum of 24 guests. But there is no available date for the month of September, we only have for the month of April, June, and July. The classic group for 40 guests has a date for the month of September on: 08-Sep-2023 to 19-Sep-2023 that cost $6,670.00 for single room.

How much is airfare from SLC Utah? Or is that included?

Would say expected some historical info, but got other details that sufficed. Accommodations though good, it did not life up to person's stature. Too much to Covid reading positive deald a blow to having their participation as having a moment of inspiration and atuned new friendship. Wish there was a way to reconnect with some.....advise. that point of privacy needs to be spelled out on on the onset. Can you assist in possibly contacting Jerry and Denise for us.

I would say that my review is for the TOUR Director, Debra DeAngelo...not the itinerary. Debra D should receive 5 stars, but there were other negatives. Pros 1. Tour director and regional experts were all great, worked hard and very knowledgeable. 2. Tried to do many things in a short time (which is good and bad). 3. Communication was great and tour director was always on the top of her game. Italian coach driver was excellent, had much confidence in him. CONS.. 1. If you are single this may not be the way to go. I did not know that there would be all couples. I did not have experience as a single person on a guided tour. This led me to feel isolated and kind of weird. I would like to go on tour that had more single people// which leads to the double occupancy issues with hotels. 2. This was Italy, so I expected great and wonderful food. The food fell short especially in all the hotels we stayed in. I will not elaborate but I was truly disappointed! 3. Pace of tour...way too fast, but most of them are. I learned about myself that i do not like too travel this way. It is way too exhausting and you do not get to absorb the sights...it is all rush, rush, rush....not good. 4. I actually got sick due to stress of it all. I would give 5 stars due to travel director.....she was excellent beyond belief. But others things....bed hotel food and all couples......I have learned some things for the future.Show more
