First day in Milan, you will leave from there. The tour guide or bus will not take you to the museum or the Cathedral from what they stated on the itinerary. They will just meet you at the Cathedral and leave right away to go to the hotel i..n Venice. Other than that, the tour guide was friendly and pleasant. We had enough time to take pics but you will do a lot of walking which I didn’t mind. It was just the weather during summer is very hot and humid. The first meal is the black squid spaghetti which has no taste and lack of squid. I could have opt out on it but didn’t know. The first hotel in Venice is really small and old. The rest of the hotel rooms are decent. The bus driver drives well that I could sleep through the ride when we’re not touring. Rating this tour mediocre but I am happy that we were able to go to a lot of places.
Regarding accomodation, my friend and her daughter weren’t on the tour guide’s list so they had to add another hotel reservations for them at the last min
Also, I don’t really care for the factory tours like the glass blowing, leather bag factory and perfume fragonard factory. Would have enjoyed more of more sites to visit.Read full review
Worst hotel except in Rome they made us stay in country side lodge whose rate per double room was 40$ Guide was good but needs maturity This is worst for the money paid
Overall the tour is good and the itinerary was completed as advertised.
The strong points are:
1. Tour bus was comfortable, clean and well maintained.
2. The ability to join the tour later at day 2 or 3 or leave the tour earlier is very.. practical as it enables flexibility to suit our own plans.
3. Tour guide is knowledgeable of the crowds at certain locations and planned it well to beat the crowds by going early.
4. Tour guide managed the group well and everyone followed timelines closely.
Areas for improvement:
1. Toilet breaks of 15 mins is insufficient, especially if there are also other tour buses stopping at the same spot. It was really not a pleasant experience.
2. Should consider giving a little more relaxed itinerary and not to pack too many locations in one day. But I am also aware that some customers would prefer to maximize and this is something difficult to find the balance.
3. Tour guide did give a good explanation of the places visited but it would have been better if the guide could also give a running commentary of the various areas passed by the bus.Read full review

This tour gave me a taste what to see in italy. Very hectic schedule. Only pick up in Milan and drop off in Paris (NOT part if tour!!!). The only thing that made this tour worthwhile is having a tourguide like Florian who is excellent and k..nows his stuff. Very caring and personable. Mario, the driver was indeed a safe and excellent driver. Otherwise im not happy with how this tour was set up. Poor quality of hotel accomodations! Extremely far from sight tour which made travelling very long, frustrating and difficult.Read full review
Both are very knowledgeable and responsible to keep all tourists safe and happy. I enjoyed each and everyday under their watchful eyes and caring attention.

We took 6 days 5 night tour of Italy. Overall it was a good experience. It was a bit hectic but covered almost all the major attractions of Italy and in addition Monaco and Nice (France). The tour guide knew his job and provided all the bas..ic information but sometimes he was a bit rude (probably age factor). One thing that we did not like was that the night stays sometimes were in the middle of nowhere with no food choices except what was available in the hotel and no convenience stores nearby. Overall we enjoyed the tour.Read full review

The tour provided excellent services (from hotel, foods, attractions and schedules).
Tour guide (Paul Li) was very energetic and he managed to explain all the activities in 3 languages (Mandarin, Cantonese and English).
