Mrs C Robertson

The whole holiday was really lovely and very relaxing for us. The Bernini rail trip was fantastic and highlight of the holiday.

Mrs C Easterbrook

Wonderful place to visit and going by rail, takes the strain out of traveling- and you see so much more. Great Tour Manager - Rob. A superstar

Mr A Barr

Rome & Sorrento

Excellent holiday,superb holiday guide and good hotels and itinerary

Mr P Gibbons

Lake Garda All Inclusive

Enjoyed it very much, found the return journey a bit tiring changing trains so much but overall a good holiday.

Mrs T Gilbert

The Italian Riviera

The holiday was excellent, the resort was amazing and everything ran very smoothly.

Miss A Mitchell

Puglia All Inclusive

It was a lovely holiday. The right balance between free time and visits. Why it isn't 5 stars is simply my disability. I struggled to get up the hotel steps everyday and sometimes up /down 2 or 3 times. People were extremely kind and helpful. a really good crowd. No complaints there. My tour guide couldn't have been kinder or thoughtful. He was so considerate, always helping me up and down station steps or over bridges in Venice. My main problem was terrain, ie. when there were cobbled pavements to struggle at speed over just to keep up with the crowd - Verona and gravel round some sites and the hotel approach. Always a difficult decision about knowing if I can still manage holidays, it made me anxious.

Mrs D Powter

Lake Garda, Venice & Verona

Every aspect of the holiday was excellent

Mr R Bosworth

Lake Maggiore

Excellent holiday. And the location was perfect.

Mr D Forster

Lake Como All Inclusive (Fly)

The tour from initial inquiry to returning home was a complete success.

Rev T Lewis

Highlights of Italy include Verona, the setting of Shakespeare's most famous love story Romeo and Juliet. Another popular region is the picturesque setting of Lake Garda, where you can enjoy stunning panoramas.
