What travelers are saying

"We saw so very much of Italy in the 2 weeks we were there! If you do the excursions you learn so much from the special tour guides. We are not planners so it was nice having the trip planned for us. The only improvement I would recommend would be getting to go into the Duomo and St. Marks Basilica and Doges Palace. There was limited time to do this on our own. It just means we have to go back again! There was a lot of walking, which we were fine with and everyone on our bus was able to handle. Provisions were made for anyone having a problem. Tour guide Chris was awesome and so was out bus driver Bruno. Coach bus was very comfortable."

What travelers are saying

"Our tour director Laura Pettirossi was the absolute best. She went out of her way to help all of us have the best experience possible. She was always smiling and happy. She was very knowledgeable about our surroundings and shared her knowledge with all of us. My husband and I are so happy to have had this experience with Laura and our bus driver Mauro. Mauro was a great driver. He got us through some roads that seemed almost impossible for our large bus. We would do this again with Laura and Mauro, they were the best. The tour gave us a look at most of what Italy has to offer. Bellissimo. Thank you."

What travelers are saying

"We just went on Iconic Ireland and Ashford Castle and had a wonderful time. This was our first bus tour and we didn't know quite what to expect, however, we couldn't have had a more perfect time. Ireland is a beautiful country and we were stunned and thrilled with all the beauty we were able to see. The hotels were great - some definitely better than others but all were comfortable. My only complaint was that our last hotel had no ac and Ireland was experiencing a heat wave so the fan didn't help very much. That wasn't anyone's fault and I just went with the flow. Barbara (our guide) and Marina (our driver) were great and genuinely seemed to be concerned with everyone's comfort. The grande finale of Ashford Castle was incredible. Such a beautiful place and to be able to stay a night there was incredible. I ended up doing the Hawk Walk and horseback riding and I would recommend both - especially the hawk walk to anyone - I think people who are good riders would probably get to do more than we did but it was still great. I would recommend Brendan and this trip to anyone. Perfect amount of down time and activity. Loved it!"
