    Wife and I did this tour as the first part of our honeymoon and absolutely loved it. It’s fast in each town, but very efficient to get you to everything in a small amount of time

    Our group of 6 friends had a fantastic time. The hotel locations we found to be ideal and splendid rooms. The tours we chose were great and informative. The booking was incredibly easy and agent was so helpful. I recommend the tour package we built.

    The daily tours were amazing and 100% worth having guided tours set up for us all we had to do was arrive and meet the guide. Transport to and from all train stations would have been much appreciated. Some hotels had stairs up to an elevator which was tough with big luggage, but the locations were excellent. Would recommend taking strozzi Palace Hotel off the list for Florence though, quite dingy and old.

    Beautiful cuties. The arranged tours were fantastic and we were provided excellent instructions on what to expect. One drawback of the trip was the day in Tuscany. The sites we visited were amazing, but due to the aggressive schedule, we did not have a lot of time to explore the cities. In Pisa, by the time we finished our 18 minute walk from the tour bus to the site, no tour tickets were available so that we could make it back to the tour bus.

    High-speed train package boasted excellent, well-located hotels facilitating easy access to major attractions. Though the three included tours were enriching, I suggest augmenting the package with diverse experiences to deepen understanding of Italy's rich history and culture. Overall, a fantastic journey with potential for expanded cultural immersion.

    The Italy high-speed train tour was solid overall, but my preference leaned toward superior hotels for added comfort. The standout was the knowledgeable and charming Venice guide who not only shared insightful details but also warmly cared for the children during the tour. A generally satisfying Italian journey.

    The Italy high-speed train package offered an exceptional experience, notably marked by the quality of the hotels—impeccably maintained, pleasant, and offering utmost comfort. The standout highlight was the Tuscany tour guided by an absolutely fantastic individual. His expertise was matched only by his genuine connection to my grandma's native place, fostering an immediate and heartfelt bond. We spent a considerable amount of time sharing stories and exploring the cultural nuances that linked us, making the tour not just informative but deeply personal and memorable. This unique connection added an enriching layer to the entire journey, transforming it from a simple tour into a touching exchange of heritage and shared roots. Overall, a trip that beautifully balanced comfort, cultural exploration, and unexpected heartwarming connections.

    The Italy by train package offered an insightful Vatican tour in Rome with a prepared and friendly guide. However, the Venice hotel encountered air conditioning issues, promptly addressed by Flag Travel Holidays' professional and helpful team. Despite this hiccup, the trip was enjoyable, highlighted by informative tours and responsive service. Recommended for the cultural experiences and the company's proactive approach to problem-solving.
