  Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback, we truly value all comments as they help us improve and provide clarity for future guests. We’re pleased to hear that you enjoyed the individual tours included in your itinerary. At the same time, we must admit that your rating came as a surprise, and we would genuinely appreciate a bit more detail on which aspects did not meet your expectations. To clarify, the 4-day / 3-night experience is structured as a partially guided package, combining accommodation and independent time in Florence with selected guided excursions. Specifically, your program included: – Day 1: arrival, check-in, and a Florence walking tour (organized privately for you) – Day 2: free day in Florence, with optional activities available (such as cooking classes, museum visits, and guided tours, which you chose not to add) – Day 3: full-day excursion to Pisa & Cinque Terre (approx. 12 hours, 7:00 AM – 7:00 PM) – Day 4: Tuscany tour (approx. 7 hours, 10:00 AM – 5:00 PM, in a semi-private minivan tour) This structure is clearly outlined in the experience description and is designed for travelers who appreciate a balance between guided activities and personal time, rather than a fully escorted itinerary. Additionally, following your initial request to cancel due to personal reasons related to accommodation, we worked instead to adapt your booking so that you could still participate in all planned tours while arranging your own accommodation independently. We also adjusted the total cost in your favor, allowing you to avoid the cancellation penalties that would normally apply when cancelling 20 days prior to departure. Throughout your trip, our team remained available to assist you in real time. Given that you mentioned enjoying the tours themselves, we would truly appreciate understanding what specifically led to your overall rating, as this would help us improve both the experience and how it is communicated. You are also welcome to reply directly to our previous emails. Thank you again for your feedback, we remain at your disposal and hope to welcome you again in the future.

  This was the perfect blend of independent and guided. We had the opportunity to do what we wanted the first couple days, then kick back and enjoy the ride the last two days. We arrived in the afternoon on Day 1 so had time to enjoy the hostel's rooftop pool before meeting our guide for a walking tour of Florence in the evening. The YellowSquare Hostel was fantastic - they offer so many activities and events that you could go there with no plans and find plenty to do. Our tour guide, Marie from Italy on a Budget tours, was fantastic. We were the only group scheduled for the walking tour, so we got a very personalized experience with lots of recommendations for places to eat and local knowledge, which we took advantage of during our free day in the city. The winetasting day was also fantastic and I enjoyed the variety of wines and scenery between both vineyards. Cinque Terre was absolutely beautiful. The only thing I would have changed would have been to spend more time in one of the towns instead of an hour or less in each. It's a long day of train travel. If we'd had more time in Manarola or Vernazza, I would have gone swimming or kayaking. I hope to go back to Florence some day and spend even more time there!Show more

  Thank you for such a thoughtful and detailed review! We’re so happy to hear that the mix of independent time and guided experiences was just right for you. It sounds like you made the most of Florence, the rooftop pool, walking tour, and all! We’ll pass along your kind words to Marie, who will be thrilled that her recommendations helped you enjoy your free day like a local. We’re also glad you loved the wine tasting day and Cinque Terre, and we appreciate your feedback about spending more time in one town. That’s really helpful for us as we look at ways to make the experience even better. We’d love to welcome you back to Florence (or anywhere in Italy!) whenever you’re ready for round two. ????????✨

  The rules say no penalty of fee if you cancel the tour. I submitted my request 2 weeks ago 79 days in advance. This tour provider now tells me that my deposit is un refundable. this is no way to run a business. It is dishonest. Beware. Do not book with this provider as they will steal from you. They failed to respond to me after I sent in 5 requests . This alone is rude. Now they want to keep my deposit. That is not legal or ethical/ Cancellation Up to 30 days before departure You can cancel for free (no cancellation fee)Show more

  I recently did the Best of Tuscany tour with Italy on a Budget. I had a good time although there were a few parts that could be improved. The description of the trip suggests you would be with a group of people for the duration of the tour, however this tour is simply made up of day trips which appear to be almost completely filled by day trippers. Majority were also not solo travellers - I think it's important to note, as for me that was the draw of booking onto the tour. Value for money wise, I think it would have worked out cheaper to book the accommodation myself and then just do the day trips for pisa/cinque terre and vineyards. The vineyard tour was great, and very generous on the tastings. The pisa and cinque terre trip was an extremely long day 7am-8pm. We stopped at 3 towns but only had an hour in each, I think it would be more beneficial to only do 2 and have a bit longer in each for it to be more worthwhile and enjoyable.Show more

  Horrible service, they don't care about experience just about getting the money. If you are late a minute at any stop, they don't wait or call you, they just leave you wherever you are, even in the middle of random wineyard (as it states in their description). I have never seen guides that care so little about client's experience. Wasted 160€. Avoid at all cost!Show more

  Dear Domagoj, I'm so sorry to hear about your experience. Are you sure you have reviewed the right company? We don't have any bookings under your name and we honestly don't have any information about someone left at a winery and it's definitely not part of our way of conducting tours. Could you please send us more information about what happened in order to verify ? The name of the tour and the date and the guide? Please contact us at info@italyonabudgettours.com. Thank you
