Italy is overflowing with art, history, culture — and flat-out fun! So, when it comes to its three greatest cities — Venice, Florence, and Rome — you don't need to take our word for it. Read these tour member raves about our Best of Venice, Florence & Rome tour, our weeklong tour of Rome, and our Heart of Italy tour, which mixes in some countryside charm with Rome and Florence..
"There were so many wonderful moments on the walking tours where you'd just go around the corner and come across something beautiful and amazing. But seeing the Colosseum for the first time can't be undersold."
— Naomi, March 2025, Best of Venice, Florence & Rome in 10 Days tour
"Ostia Antica was amazing, and thanks to our guide, Francesca, that ancient world just came alive. Also, the Borghese Gallery was stunning. The Bernini statues, the Rape of Prosperina and Apollo and Daphne, left me speechless. They seem beyond human abilities."
— Julia, March 2025, Best of Rome in 7 Days tour
"Strolling through the piazza in front of the Roman Pantheon at night after the group dinner on the first day: Most of the crowds were gone, there was music in the air, and the Pantheon and fountain were beautifully lit up."
— Daniel, April 2025, Heart of Italy in 9 Days tour
"Watching the lights come on in St. Mark's Basilica as Elena, our guide, said they do every day at 12:30 — seeing the gold mosaics and the church interior light up was an amazing experience. And the gondola ride! Fantastic!"
—Thomas, November 2024, Best of Venice, Florence & Rome in 10 Days tour
"Our time on an evening walk the first night was great. Tina took us to see the Pantheon, the fountains at the Piazza Navona, the Trevi Fountain, the Spanish Steps, and other sites all lit up at night. So pretty!"
— Dean, February 2025, Best of Rome in 7 Days tour
"Florence delivered with the history of the Piazza Vecchio as relayed by our guide and the awe of the Piazza del Duomo, but the tour of the Uffizi Gallery was the cherry on the top! Our guide was excellent and was sure to get us up close and personal to the paintings of note."
