    · July 29th, 2022
    Overall, the entire tour of Italy (Rome, Florence, & Venice) was very enjoyable. Me and my two teenagers learned a lot and was in awe of the architecture, scenery, and history. Our guide, Pino, was an absolute joy! He shared his wealth of experience & knowledge of Italy's history; which we really appreciated. It was "an experience" for us to see & live the vast difference of traveling accommodations & expectations of Europe compared to USA. Everything in Italy is SMALLER in size - I mean from the guest rooms, showers, train seats, & service! You need to go with an open mind or you will be disappointed at every turn. But, I think the culture and history surrounding you surely outshines these small details. The one thing I would recommend is to take advantage of the additional tours Trafalgar offers. it gives you a chance to see other areas outside the city and really gets you out of the room to explore the country. With two teens, I'm sure we would have been in the room more then I would have like if not for these tours. The tours are an additional cost, but very worth it. There was only one disappointment I had on this entire tour. It was the Gold Corner jewelry tour in Florence. The jewelry was beautiful, but completely overpriced! I personally would have skipped this, but it was part of the walking tour so we had no choice but to listen. We hope to do another tour with Trafalgar in a couple of years.

    Guissepi Spada with Trafalgar was exception. On a 13 day trip to Italy he kept everyone involved. One day when our bus ran into hydraulic lift problems we had to stop for approximately 2 hours at a gas bar. Guisseppi stepped u to the unexpected challenge and arranged for a picnic lunch while we waited. It was little touches like this and his quick thinking that made this a most memorable trip.
