We enjoyed our Italian Explorer tour very much. A big adventure for my wife Janet and I, our first visit to Italy. Yes, at times there was lots of walking and moving cases around as we travelled to our locations, but certain if we were on our own, we would not have seen as much. Admit, another day in Montecatini and Turin would have been good. Many Thanks to our Tour Manager Julie R, she was excellent, and to Everyone in our group. Keith & Janet

Overall well organised, tour manager very helpful. Perhaps not enough time to explore or maybe to many places visited? The hotels were very good as was food generally.

Fantastic tour, visiting great towns and cities in Italy. A guided tour of the larger cities followed by time to explore on your own. Tour manager was absolutely wonderful, we didn’t have to worry about a thing. A fair amount of walking involved with suitcases and much more round the towns and cities. Definitely a tour not a holiday but great if you want to be taken places, shown around and then left to your own devices. Wonderful as you also get to know the other people on the tour and make friends. Thoroughly recommend it but not for those who are slow walkers or don’t like walking!

Badly organised by people who do not have knowledge on the ground in Italy e.g. three quarters of a mile walk between station and hotel with cases and bags. Hotels too far away from Venice and Florence. Date of holiday changed 10 days before departure leading to excess cost involved to rebook hotels in London. Guides in Rome and Florence useless. In Florence walked for one hour, with cases, and ended up back where we started. Original hotel in centre of Venice changed to Padova 25 miles away. Allowing a single traveller with COPD on holiday put a burden on other travellers - having to stop and wait and carrying her case and bags. If it hadn't been for a brilliant tour manager the trip would have been a disaster e.g. train cancelled and platform change at last minute.
