This tour was misleading, we were on the 2.30pm tour and the guide said at the start she would not take us into St Peters as after 4pm guides are not allowed in St Peters so the whole 3hrs would be in the Vatican and the tour would finish outside St Peters.. As we had to leave at 5.30 on the dot this would not have allowed us to visit St Peters at all.Knowing we had time restraints we thought ahead and did pre tour go into St Peters briefly but if we hadnt done this we would have missed out on seeing inside St Peters altoghter. The tour says includes inside St Peters ( but can be closed at any time beyond their control) but this was not anything like this, the guide said she couldnt take us in as it would be after 4pm, if you want to see in St Peters with a guide and have time restraints ensure you book the morning tour.

This was an amazing day, from the pickup at the hotel to the end of the day we had a wonderful time. It is a very very long day but what you see around the Amalfi Coast is worth it. It is a very expensive tour and with that I feel lunch could have been supplied and the entrance into Pompeii. Also my one worry was the drive down there, the speeds that the vans go can be quite concerning if you are not used to it. In our country we do not go anywhere near the speeds the Italian drivers do. Our driver was in full control and I know does that trip a few times a week but just be aware you will be travelling at high speeds along the freeway to the Coast.

Our tour guide Francesca was brilliant. Her knowledge of ancient Rome was enthralling and made the tour so interesting. You have a wonderful visit of the Colosseum and the tour of the Roman Forum was so informative.

We met outside the Accademia, it took a little while to find the correct group, they were not holding up a sign and as you can imagine there was more than one company organising tours. We received our sticker and our afternoon pass for the Uffizi gallery but they did not give us tickets to get into the Accademia so after lining up for quite a while with the guide and then entering the building to go through the entrance we were asked by the attendants where are your tickets, other people in the group had theres but we were not given any, we feel the man from the company giving out the stickers forgot when he gave us the afternoon pass. This caused a bit of concern with the attendants and our tour guide was trying to ring the company to find out what had happend . After some discussion the attendants decided to let us in but this did delay the start of the tour a little bit. So please check if you are doing the afternoon tour of Uffizi as well as the Accademia that you receive tickets for the Accademia as well as your pass for the Uffizi. The tour guide was very good and interesting at the Accademia but i cant say the same for the Uffizi guide. This man did not have anyones attention in the group from the start, the way he presented the information in such a dull drone all the time did not hold your attention and i felt we were only shown a limited amount of the gallery as he took so long with comments over each picture. We did not enjoy this tour at all

A wonderful day, a little confuisng with the meeting point but after that all was fine. Our guide Chris was brilliant, very informative and knowledgable of the area. We had a lovely visit to Siena before arriving at the Winery where we enjoyed a yummy lunch. Plenty of good food and wine to taste. After lunch we went for a vist to nearby San G which was interesting. We then headed to Pisa, we had prebooked the climb to the top and when we got there Chris told us we had a time allotted to us so we had a little bit of time to walk around and take the crazy pictures before our climb to the top which we are glad we did as the views from the top were great. A very enjoyable day

This was an interesting way to spend an afternoon. After our morning walking tour had been postposned without any notice to us which made us very unhappy, we were hoping for a nice afternoon which we did have. It was a pleasant boat trip to the 3 islands, Murano of course wanting you to buy the glass but there is no pressure, the demonstration was very good. Our next stop was Turcello which by the time you walk to the small township from the boat its about time to turn around and walk back to the boat, quite a nothing stop really. We next stopped at Burano where we saw a lovely lace demonstration and the shops sold many beautiful things. More time was needed at this stop, if you are visiting Venice maybe you can get one of the ferrys over to Burano and spend extra time here. A good value tour and a nice experience
