Enjoyable even in less than ideal conditions
weather wasn't so good - heavy rain at times, foggy and low visibility. Having said that the whole experience was enjoyable as a nice, relaxed day trip. The lunch was nice though just pasta. Wines were enjoyable though a bit overpriced if you decided to buy from the vineyard.

What a great day trip...
What a great day trip visiting Burano and Murano on a beautiful boat with an informative guide! Burano is a beautiful little quaint island. The Murano glass making was nice, but the whole trip to the Murano glass shop seemed like a sales pitch. I would skip Murano and take a trip to Burano if offered.

Guided Tour of Le Louvre — Highly Recommend!
The louvre was unseasonably crowded BUT our tour guide was very knowledgeable about the inner workings of the museum. We were able to see plenty of items and get very close to the Mona Lisa! Anaïs was an amazing tour guide and an absolute pleasure!

Expensive Tourist trap! Avoid this company
Terrible. Waited outside in the rain for an hour, and the Basilica was closed last minute. Not even a partial refund. A painful and regrettable $650. I’m literally speechless we can’t get a partial refund. Buyer BEWARE!!!

You can’t go wrong with Merika

This day trip is a must!
This trip was the perfect balance: Many day trips take upwards of 15 hours, but this one was door to door in less than 12. The drive was beautiful, Pompei is an amazing experience, the ascension to Positano/amalfi coast is undescribable, and of course, all the food along the way was amazing! Claudio (our driver) was a perfect guide, super informative, flexible and helpful, and of course a world class driver, which is a requirement in Italy 😬!! The “semi-private” tour upgrade is well worth the extra $. 10/10 for us, would not only recommend, but would likely book it again!

Such a fun day to explore history!
Great day trip from Paris! It is worth the long bus ride there and back! Our guides were very informational. Would definitely recommend this tour!

To Switzerland and back!
Easy way to visit the countryside and Switzerland. Salvatore was helpful and knowledgeable. He made several good recommendations for the group.

Superb tour guide
Our tour guide was amazing! She was very knowledgeable and took time to connect with each person in the group. We were able to go in the group entrance which was much faster and had shorter lines. We saw a lot of the most famous works of art in the museum in the 3 hour tour. We also learned a lot about the history of France and the Louvre. My only complaint is the guide was saddled with a larger group than I expected. There were 25 in our group. If you’ve never been to the Louvre, it is very crowded and it is difficult to keep everyone together. Our guide somehow managed it but I think the groups need to be under 20 people.

Giorgio was our tour...
Giorgio was our tour guide and was fantastic! He was super knowledgeable and engaging. He allowed time for photos and the tour never felt rushed. As a family we learned so much. The view from Palatine Hill was stunning. It was also incredible to walk through the Roman Forum. I would definitely recommend this tour! And hopefully you are lucky enough to have Giorgio as your tour guide😊

Emiliano made this tour great!
With any luck you will get Emiliano as your tour guide. He was fantastic! A walking history guide and so entertaining! If you have any interest in crypts and catacombs do not miss this tour!

Make sense of the overload
This was a fantastic way to experience the Louvre. The place is enormous, so having a knowledgeable guide kept it manageable. He was witty, opinionated, and cordial. It really helped me get inside the mind of the artists and the art, and even told a coherent story so it didn’t feel like a blur of pictures.

Way better than the Hollywood version!
Our tour guide, Emanuela, was the perfect blend of party host and history professor. Smart and charming, she was genuinely interested to learn who we were, where we were from, and other details about us that made us feel appreciated and welcome, while simultaneously teaching us the amazing history of the Roman Colosseum, the Forum and Platine Hill, including lots of fascinating details! Instead of watching somebody else’s fictional version of history on a flat movie screen, we were right in the middle of where all it happened, and it was so easy to imagine it for ourselves as Emanuela walked us through it, telling us story after story in fluent English with a lovely Roman accent. She was able to answer our group’s dozens of questions from her seemingly endless knowledge of ancient Roman history and culture. Emanuela’s positive energy, personal warmth and expert knowledge made the tour itself an experience to remember, but in addition she left us with great restaurant recommendations, and advised us to tour St. Clement’s Basilica - a hidden gem that we would never have found but for her kind advice. It’s an easy one to overlook, but thanks to Emanuela we now have that unique memory of our Italy trip, too!

Wasn’t able to go on tour but they called to check on us and I appreciate that greatly!
I had confirmed our tour the night before but then we went out and I re-broke my knee in Rome (after breaking it 9 months ago in Dublin lol) I didn’t think to contact the tour company to then cancel. But the morning of the tour, they were kind enough to call to see if we were on our way. We were so bummed to not see the sites on our last day there but were very thankful for the tour company calling. Had we been running late, etc. I would’ve appreciated the call then too. So thank you to the tour operators for their follow through. Wish we could’ve gone.

Great but sometimes dark history of ancient Rome
There is so much to see on this tour it is money well spent. You see so much in 3hrs and learn quite a bit along the way. Maria was our guide (I believe this is her name, she stated she studied archaeology) and she was really knowledgeable. She did a wonderful job explaining the history of the Colosseum and surrounding areas include the Forum and Palatine Hill. It was a terrific way be exposed to the history of the area.

Great Family Tour
Our family had a wonderful tour of St Marks Cathedral and Doges Palace. The guide was very knowledgeable and informative of the history of Venice, the Cathedral and Doges Palace. We crossed over the bridge of Sighs and saw some of the prison cells once used. The architecture, history, and beautiful artworks are jaw dropping. A must see for first time in Venice.

I wanted to express our...
I wanted to express our dissatisfaction with your company regarding this booking. We were so looking forward to this tour as we have had great experiences with your company previously. Unfortunately, we made a mistake that I am sure has been made before, and arrived at the wrong location for the tour. We started contacting your company 25 minutes before the tour was to begin and received no help. In fact, when we were on the phone with your customer support, and were explaining where we were, they had no idea how to tell us where we were supposed to be. Had they given us the information we easily would have made our tour on time. We at least requested our tickets to the Louvre which were sent; however, they were not the ones that would allow entry. All of this was us being on the phone with your company on and off for over an hour. Not only did we lose the money on our tour, but we had to purchase additional tickets. I asked for a refund since your company could not provide us the correct information to get to our tour, but of course, that was an immediate no. We will no longer be using your company for any of our travels, and share this information with anyone we know traveling. As business owners, we were shocked at the lack of knowledge when we needed help, and then were immediately told no for the refund. We completely understand your policies, and although you may see this as our fault for this honest mistake, you did have an opportunity to steer us in the right direction to make our tour on time, but were not able to.
