The day was good however a couple of constructive feedback points for you 1) when I first looked at the trip the meeting point was at the end of the road the hotel was on, however your e-ticket and website made us go to the main bus station 20 mins tram ride away and the tour guide commented as I hadn’t checked in a Julian’s Bar, as everyone else had. 2) the second point is to do with the final leg of the trip in Siena, when it was pouring with rain and we were about to head back to the bus and the tour guides boss had come up with another great idea for the small cost of €3 everyone could get the trenino back to the bus, half the clients didn’t want to do this and we were made to stand in the rain getting wet whilst the main tour guide waited for the trenino to arrive before the walkers were allowed to set off on foot back to the bus. Had I not stepped up and asked for the walkers to be allowed to walk with a guide without waiting, we would of been soaked!

The most incredible train ride of my life!!! Giovanni was such an amazing tour guide that really went out of his way to show us around. The train ride itself through the Swiss Alps was breathtaking. I will most certainly come back and do it again.

The best guided tour I have ever been on was at the Normandy beaches. The tour cost us $550. divided among three of us. This tour of the Dolomites seems to be of equal quality. Good and better than good. BUT is it worth the price mentioned? Only those willing to pay your exhorbitant prices will be able to take the tour...which I would like to do as my father was born in Falcade in the midst of that area. The tour guide may be the nicest most informed person on the face of the earth, but the The Great Dolomites Road tour is way too expensive!

Our family used this wonderful company for a day trip from the port. From the driver, Simone, waiting for us (with a smile) at the port terminal as we exited the cruise boat to telling our group of seven all about Tuscany (as we drove towards Florence), this adventure was outstanding. Simone (being born and raised in Pisa), was well versed on past and current happenings of this beautiful area. His recommendation for a place for lunch could not have been more spot on. It turned out to be the highlight of our 12 day holiday. Simone comes with our highest recommendation and we look forward to using your company services in the near future. Thank you again!

Francesco was absolutely brilliant. Despite Juliet's House being closed due to the storm damage the previous day, he organised a one-off visit to Club de Juliet where my my daughter was able to answer one of the many letters addressed to Juliet arrive every year - a real highlight for her. He then undertook an amazing experience around Verona and topped everything off by booking our lunch for us at a restuarant that had formed part of the tour! The care and attention was such that he organised his colleague (Maria) to meet us and take us to Juliet's House the following day so that we didn't miss out on that experience. The photo's that Maria took were superb and allowed u to have a picture of the experince together as a family. I can highly recommend this experience and perhaps the highest compliment I cna pay both Francesco and MAria is that for that day (and indeed the rest of our stay) we felt like true Veronese citizens. Thank you.

Great tour on Oct 4, 2018 with City Unscripted guide - Beatrice! At my request, we spent much of our time in the Navigli neighborhood at dusk enjoying aperitivo and dinner. Beatrice knew all the charming places along the canal and also offered recommendations for the rest of my trip in Cinque Terre and Amalfi Coast. With friendly, personable Beatrice I felt I was experiencing Milan as a local. Thank you!

It is the smallest of the Borromean Islands, but certainly among the most fascinating. Strolling along its narrow alleys you will discover enchanting views. The ancient village is characterized by a maze of narrow streets leading to the Church of San Vittore, elected as a national monument, which still preserves the original apse with single-light windows dating back to the 11th century.

The guy prospected me on the street and sweared it was the public transport when I asked. That's not true and I hate when people lie to me as a tourist.
