What people love about Active Tours in Italy
- Ultimate Italy
Thoroughly enjoyed the tour. It was my first tour as a solo traveler and I had great time and met some amazing people. My Tour Radar agent, Leonie was very helpful throughout the process.
- Italy Experience
We really liked the tour. Walter kept the delicate balance between giving us a good introduction to the various sites and giving us the freedom to choose our own schedule. As a result we received a great introduction to Italy. We would definitely use Intrepid again.
MIRACLE OF ASSISI It all started when my wife noticed she had left her mobilephone in the public restroom near The Basilica of Saint Francis of Assisi, in the bus which had run more than half hour after we left Assisi. Impossible to return. So, I called my wife's mobile phone from mine, and a man answered, but we could not communicate because he spoke Italian. When I asked our tour guide, Sabrina to replace me, she found the man was a friar, and the mobile phone was kept in the church office. OK, the mobile phone was safe, but how could we get it back? Then, Gigi, the driver of our bus, used the network of bus drivers, and wrote the scinario. Mr.A, the driver of the tour visiting Assisi the next day, would receive mobile phone from the church, and carry it to a sightseeing spot where he could meet Mr.B, the driver on the way back to Rome. Thus, the mobile phone was delivered to the hotel in Rome by Mr.B, before we returned to Rome. Thanks to Sabrina, Gigi and two other drivers - and also the anonymous woman who found the mobile phone in the restroom and brought it to the church -, the mobile phone was successfully relayed and we could fully enjoy the tour without sacrificing any of our itinerary. OTHER IMPRESSIONS •Hotels: Hotel St.Martin in Rome locates near the Termini station and was convenient. Hotels in Florence and Venice were far from the city center but not bad considering the price of this tour. •Meals: almost average. Lunch at Montepulciano was superb. •On the first day, "Rome at sunset tour" is offered. It is a night walking tour which visits several famous spot such as Trevi Fountain, Spanish Steps and so on. But I'd like to say, Visit Them In Daylight if you have time. Once again, Thanks to Sabrina and Gigi!
