Italy was wonderful! Both hotels were perfect, and the transportation service was excellent.
Though we had one minor off experience with the staff at the tour company, the tours themselves were pleasant and informative. Additionally, the tour guides were funny and engaging.
Again, thank you to Almeda Travel!
