Northern Italy Tour Companies

Private Italy tour Our Italy trip was amazing! My daughter and I had a private tour to Rome, Florence and Venice. All of our guides were excellent especially Mario in Cinca Terra and Denise in Venice. They shared with us some of the hidden gems of these areas as well as the most popular spots. Mario was with us for the entire day driving us to see Cinca Terra and Pisa. Denise recommended excellent places for gelato, spritz’s, and dinner! And she agreed to meet with us earlier than planned so that we could see the inside of St Mark’s basilica. The communication via What’s App was superb and even when we were late to our tour group at the Vatican, the company came through with excellent assistance. I want to come back and would not hesitate to book with them again

Hannah, Lily, Rose, Wendy, Alberto, and Sam were wonderful to work with. We loved the Venetian tour with Denise too!

Marie was great. Would recommend!

Our guide, Ned, was great. The hotel Meininger was clean and comfortable in a college dormitory way, but not very friendly. I asked to reduce the centrally controlled thermostat because I sleep better when it’s cooler, and they said no. The hallways are not air conditioned at all. The rooms get hot during the day and the air conditioning won’t stay on without the key in the slot. I’d rather pay a few dollars more and adjust the temperature to my own needs. The tour has lots of walking but it was enjoyable to see Milan’s highlights. Lake Como was gorgeous scenery, perfect weather, and we had enough time for a nice meal in Bellagio and a drink in Varenna. The train ride back to Milan was standing room only, and hot and stuffy, followed by a long wait in line at the taxi stand. I’d rate the tour guide higher than the accommodations. I suppose that the name of the tour agency (Italy on a Budget) should give a warning that all is not going to be first class.

The tour was good, but a bit to long. Sould have liked to have all the tours on the same day. Improvement suggestion: on one of the tours I had to call to hear who the tour provider was because the welcome letter did not specify it. The only tour guide at that time did not want to include me because his tour provider name was not written anywhere. Maybe clearer instructions will be nice of you are using other people for the tours.

Overall this was a lovely holiday. The car and hotels were of a high standard. Some more information about how to use tolls would have been helpful. The hotel in Stresa was excellent and in a great location. The holiday at Lake Garda was lovely but not in a great location as it took much longer to get to Verona as we were a way up the west side of the lake. Overall other than the crowds of people everywhere it was a well organised and great holiday

It’s a perfect tour for senior folks, no rush with plenty time at each viewpoints. The routes are also excellent we enjoyed the trip very much since this was the first time for us to visit the Italian northern lakes and Dolomites area, a fantastic tour to give us a quick overview this beautiful area. Overall I rated this trip a five stars trip as some area could be improved such as the lodging but all hotels are at least 3 stars with private facilities. All hotel locations are very convenient.

The tour enabled us to see the amazing beauty of the Dolomites. There was a good balance between dramatic scenery and visits to historic towns. Our tour guide, Matilda, was lovely, very knowledgeable, helpful and approachable. Our driver was very considerate and careful...we were treated to heavy snowfall in the mountains! Hotels were very good. Would very much recommend the tour. As a solo traveler it was a great way to see the area.

This tour needs to experienced to be believed. Every day of the tour was simply great!

Usually we participate in group tours because they are cheaper, this time we let ourselves be persuaded to buy a private tour for 6 people. The itinerary was beautiful, the service we received was excellent. We must thank Filippo our driver who was always at our disposal. The guide (only for us) was very nice and with an excellent knowledge of the area. Recommended tour and we recommend not to exceed 6 people

Excellent choice of places to visit. Tour Leader Chiara was fantastc. Nino the Driver was also very professional and friendly. Would recommend this tour to all my friends and acquaintances.

All fine otherwise. Guide and driver great. Major drawback was Starhotels Crystallo hotel in Bergamo - very basic - no tea or coffee facilities in room - big issue with us- nil available in lobby to make a cup of tea. No way would I describe this hotel as 4* The 2 dinners we ate there basically unedible.

Well planned and coordinated. Beautiful area to visit.

We enjoyed the tours, but the hotel in Verona was not acceptable. The shower was very dirty, and had mold in several places. I had to have housekeeping come in and clean it twice. It would be a nice alternative if we could have different classes of hotels to choose from. For an example, an average hotel room, or a luxury hotel room, inner city, or outside the city. Both the hotels in Como in Verona were a hike to get into the main area of Center City.

Great time, good food. The cabins are quite small but very adequate. The location was perfect just a short walk to all the must see sights.

Beautiful, and the third experience after the Danube and the Canary Islands... soon the Douro.

Dear Tourradar Team, I would very much like to submit a review of our trip. However, two important issues on our part have not yet been resolved. 1. the reimbursement due to significantly inferior alternative accommodation (Palazzo Boeri instead of Villa Beccaris) 2. reimbursement of the flight costs, as the flights were not used. As soon as these matters have been clarified in our favor, I will be happy to give a good rating. Kind regards Anton Hornburger 0151 - 116 183 51

The accommodation was excellent with superb food and service. The day trips were varied and interesting and the guides were knowledgeable and helpful. I made new friends and had a fantastic holiday.

Wonderful, we will come back sometimes

It was generally good but the itinerary provided by UTracks did not quite match the actual and included a day of 25km walk which was way longer than expected.

I hate to admit the tour was bad! It was very unorganized! For example, we missed a boat tour because our tour guide had the wrong number of tickets. On another tour the same tour guide messed up our seating arrangement. It was supposed to be an English speaking tour we had spanish, Portuguese, and English speaking people. The hotels were far from everything and they were dirty (I have pictures of the mold and stains). The tour never even picked us up for our last tour and the bus driver made a creepy comment to me asking if I was gonna go dancing! It was creepy and unapproperiate. These are just so of my complaints, there are many more!

We enjoyed the tour itinerary, but thought that the hotels were sub-par, especially in Breschia: dumpy hotel in a sketchy part of town. It is a hectic itinerary and could be stretched out by a day. There was no time at end of the day to do other than: shower, eat a meal, and go to bed for an early start the next day.

Well organized. Excellent, helpful, knowledgeable tour guide. Of the four hotels, two were great and two were just ok. The locations visited were interesting and each town had its own individual feel. The add on tours were very good.

Firstly I would like to say that our tour lady was lovely and very knowledgeable. Our bus driver was also great, but the accommodation was very poor and also thought that the tour was not as well organised as it should have been. The bus stopped for lunch in two truck stops…. Why we had lots of time why couldn’t we have been taken to a small town for lunch? The accommodation was very ordinary the only hotel that was above ordinary was the last hotel, the tour didn’t represent good value for money. We were very disappointed and will not go on another trip with Cosmos.
