Montepulciano and farm lunch
Absolutely amazing tour. The highlight was the lunch at the Pulcino winery. Absolutely deliciois. The town of Montepulciano was beautiful and charming. A little bit of time to shop in Pienza as well. Very organized tour. Comfortable bus with great bus stop to shop for regional items.

Avoid it
Better rent a car or book any other tour on this topic. The biggest pet peeve were the guides who had no charisma or energy to engage you within a story. The information is extremely shallow, they do not come with you and explain the locations, they remain in the bus and wait for the group inside (?!) Despite a couple of stories (basic WW2 know-how, with a couple of historic mistakes) during the drive, which they tell you without any human connection, there is no interaction. The food and restaurant are not the "charming" spots you would expect, I would dare to say the food was really bad. Don't get me wrong, the places are really beautiful and I am sure there are amazing stories behind them. But you see 5% of these amazing areas in a commercial overpayed tour, with no information behind and in a rush. Why would one pay for this? PS. They really do leave people behind, without even going after them, which I found very odd. There is really no need to leave people in the middle of nowhere for +-5 minutes of drive.

Louvre experience-thank you Pierre
Pierre was our guide. We were 11, all from US. He asked us what we wanted to see; gave us choices. We ultimately saw a litlle of everything, meaning most, if not all of the exhibition rooms, explaining a little about each. We even got to stand in line for a close up of the Mona Lisa. We got the Sphinx, Napoleon's jewels, the code of hammurabi, and so much more. In all of my tours on this European trip: Milan, Lugano, Como, Paris, Pierre was by far the best guide of the 3 used. His depth of knowledge along with his flexibility made the experience rewarding and memorable. Merci, Pierre

Rushed and unauthorized charge
When we arrived to the catacombs our tour guide sped walked through the maze of the catacombs. And when we left the overall tour I was charged an unauthorized tip on my card for the bus driver.

Perfect D-Day Learning Experience
Thelma and Ave were incredible tour guides. The tour lets you see everything listed and is a great highlight of D-Day sites. The bus was great and the day was full! We had kids ages 5-14 with us and we absolutely recommend it!

Potter Fans will be amazed.
Simple Amazing Tour. Loved seeing the actual items used for the Harry Potter Series Movies. Minimum 4-5 hours. If you are a HP fan make it a full day.

Easily in the top 10 days of my life!!
The support getting on the train and to the tram to the studio was appreciated. The tour when we were at HP was phenomenal! It was easily the best day of our entire trip. Josh was super knowledgable and shared a ton of "behind the scenes" information. He also pulled various props and showed them to us while explaining their significance in the movies. If you're questioning if the money is worth the tour, it is 100%!!!

A good way to get a fast paced overview of the vatican highlights
Of course it's busy, but at least our guide (Amy) kept us moving - at the start it seemed a bit fast paced, but there's a reason for that - the place is huge. As it was our tour lasted 3 hours and we felt we'd only got a taster of the museums. The setup is good - Amy talks into a microphone and we all have earpieces so you can hear what she's saying even if you stop to look at something that catches your eye. That is much more effective than trying to all stay close enough together in the crowds. This was our first trip to the vatican and we felt we'd have an idea where we would go on our own if we wanted to come back again. Amy was cheerful and engaging - which you need on a three hour yomp!

It was a hreat trip,...
It was a hreat trip, except to the fact that our guide and her friend didn't stop talking loud during the entire road trip. It was really annoying because they tapked very loudly in italian, and careleslly about everyone else.

Cold but Memorable D-Day Visit in January
Daniel is extremely knowledgeable and made seeing the D-Day beaches a bucket list memory. While January is probably the coldest (20-30 F) time of year to go so there are no crowds.

An unusual tour!
This was a surprising trip for us, as we booked it without actually knowing what it entailed. We were pleasantly surprised. The trip to the Catacombs was very interesting, then the trip to the church, then the finale which was a trip to a crypt. So a very unusual trip, but the guide was excellent.

Cold, no crowds, excellent!
Daniel was an exceptional guide during our tour of Normandy. Despite the cold weather, he ensured we were comfortable and engaged throughout the day. His knowledge of history was unparalleled, and he shared insightful details that brought each stop to life. Daniel’s advice on what to wear and prepare for the weather was invaluable, making the experience much more enjoyable. He chose excellent stops, from iconic landmarks to hidden gems, giving us a well-rounded perspective of Normandy’s significance. His kindness, professionalism, and attention to detail made the tour unforgettable. I highly recommend Daniel for an insightful and memorable experience.

Exceptional! A must do!
This trip was exceptional. The guide (Elisabetta) was friendly and very clear in her instructions and information. The driver (Roberto), was a confident and safe driver. Both were very lovely to spend the day with. The locations visited were beautiful and interesting. The guide was very helpful with organising a booking for lunch and helped people who struggled with the walking. It was a long day (11.5 hours), but well worth the trip. This tour is not for people who struggle with mobility. It is also recommended not to go during peak periods! We’ve seen the photos. It’s intense. Thankfully it was off peak for us.
