    We did the 17 Day Grand Italian Experience. We had the best time. Trafalgar took care of everything. This is the best way to visit Italy. Our tour guides were wonderful and very knowledgeable. We even had local tour guides for local tours. All the hotels were very nice and the food was excellent. I would highly recommend this tour. We will be booking other tours though Tour Radar / Trafalgar for sure in the future.

    Fabulous itinerary, accommodation,meals, tour director and driver! Truly the trip of a lifetime! Italy kept us all spellbound with its beauty at every turn. Maria was enthusiastic, knowledgeable and caring. The optionals were fantastic with quality specialist guides sharing their knowledge of their local area. A great tour to see a lot of Italy in a short time! I hope to return in the future. Congratulations Trafalgar!

    I throughly enjoyed every second of my tour with the exception a few hotels not located central to ares we stayed and nightly meals that we ate at these hotels. We had 5 ish nights the same dessert of ice cream with mostly fruit not gelato but ice cream(all vanilla) none of the regions famous desserts. All were disappointed and it got to be a joke among us
