Overall, tour was amazing. Hotels were accommodating and being given transportation to each location was a huge help. I’m leaving 4 stars and not 5 because I thought our hotel for the Cinque Terre portion would actually be in one of the five towns, not in La Spezia. La Spezia was not a nice area, had nowhere to get dessert at night, and was by far the worst town we stayed in.

Wonderful tour of Italian Lakes and Riviera with Europeando. Our guide Matilde was magnificent! Well organised, very accommodating, helpful and friendly. Giovanni our driver was always there for us with a friendly smile. We will definitely be back and highly recommended Europeando to anyone wishing to visit Italy in a stress free way. La dolce vita !!

The tour is very well planned, the choice of hotels was always very close to the Train Terminals. The hotels were perfect for young adults who were traveling by them selves: clean, quiet, centric, and close from the main tourist attractions but enough to be quiet and in a not so expensive and safe zone. Mestre was one train station away from Venice, Florence a 200 meters walk from the Arno, Rome 200 meters away from the main bus and train station. A minor issue was solved by Francesco in a mater of minutes. Will definitely travel with them again when we come back to Italy. El recorrido está muy bien planificado, la elección de los hoteles siempre fue muy cerca de las Terminales de Trenes. Los hoteles eran perfectos para adultos jóvenes que viajaban solos: limpios, tranquilos, céntricos y cerca de las principales atracciones turísticas pero lo suficientemente tranquilos y en una zona segura y no tan cara. Mestre estaba a una estación de tren de Venecia, Florencia a 200 metros a pie del Arno, Roma a 200 metros de la estación principal de autobuses y trenes. Francesco resolvió un problema menor en cuestión de minutos. Definitivamente viajaremos con ellos nuevamente cuando regresemos a Italia.

- Spring 2026
Spring hits the sweet spot for Northern Italy's lakes and mountain tours. Starting from Milan, our April-May routes head to Lake Como where the Alps create perfect mirror images on the quiet waters. The 4-day northern lakes circuit really works well this time of year - you get perfect weather for boat rides to Bellagio and walks through Villa Carlotta as the camellias start to show their colors. Over at Lake Garda, our travelers love watching the Mediterranean plants wake up along the coastal paths. When May comes around, the Dolomites hiking tours begin just as alpine meadows fill with wildflowers, and those occasional snowy patches on high trails make for great photo opportunities.

- Summer 2026
Summer opens up every mountain trail in Northern Italy. Our 8-day Dolomites programs mix serious hiking with nice hotels in Dobbiaco, and the Three Peaks circuit gives you views that seem to go on forever. The lakes really come alive too - Como and Garda are perfect for mixing culture with swimming breaks. We build in time between town visits so you can cool off at local beaches. The Bernina Express train comes with welcome air conditioning for the Alps crossing, and those warm evenings work perfectly for tasting sessions at Franciacorta's hillside wine estates.

- Fall / Autumn 2026
Autumn brings out the best in Northern Italy's food scene. September and October visitors join the wine harvest in Franciacorta, where our small groups get private tastings at family vineyards. The mild weather makes city walks much nicer - especially around Milan's Duomo without the summer crowds. Lake Como puts on a show as mountain leaves turn gold and red, making a perfect setting for boat trips to Bellagio and also Varenna. Our Bologna cooking classes really shine this season too - you'll learn to make fresh pasta while trying new olive oils and wines straight from harvest.

- Winter 2026 / 2027
Winter brings a different perspective to the classic Italian routes through Rome, Florence and also Venice, with our travelers enjoying the calmer atmosphere. The gondola rides feel more personal without tourist crowds, letting local guides share secret parts of Venice's narrow streets. WhatsApp support throughout each journey proves especially useful when winter weather affects plans, while the itineraries combine guided Colosseum and Roman Forum tours with time to explore independently. Our customers often mention how they appreciate seeing St. Mark's Basilica without the usual queues, and train journeys between cities showcase snow-covered landscapes through the windows. The hotels, positioned near main transport links, make it simple to explore despite the cool temperatures. Flexible scheduling means adjusting activities around weather patterns, and local guides know just where to find welcoming restaurants and indoor activities during the chillier days.
