What travelers are saying

"Very good tour with lots of variety. As it’s a new tour I feel that it could be improved a bit. For eg personally I would rather have stayed in barranco than Mirraflores as it seemed to have more to offer. All the hotels were good. Breakfast in hassienda Cusco was disappointing. Also wasn’t too interested in victor delfinos house. It would have been nice if we could have tried our hand at pisco making. Rather than just watching although interesting. Cerviche making was good but again could we have made it ourselves? When we had lunch at sumaq it wasn’t wine tasting as we know it but 2 glasses of wine with lunch, Food lovely. the potato visit was very interesting. Pacha manca lunch was very good, as was the gunea pig restaurant in Arequipa. Really enjoyed Arequipa. And of course Machu Picchu was amazing. Thoroughly enjoyed the trip overall and Darwin, our guide was super fab. All the food was amazing. Had an amazing time"

"However, some excursion is a little bit pricy on what I am expecting to see. I like with dancing or participation during dinner time.. we did not see stone hedge. Rotation of bus seat is better."

Highlights

  • Rome: Discover ancient treasures of Rome with a passionate local. See Circus Maximus and the Ancient Forum, and stand beside the Colosseum, which bears witness to the limitless courage of the gladiators.
  • Pisa: Your Local Expert will show you the baptistery bristling with marble spines, the colonnaded bell tower lurching behind the 11th century cathedral and of course, the famous Leaning Tower in the Square of Miracles.
  • Cinque Terre: Led by your Local Expert, visit the UNESCO World Heritage Site with dedicated time to explore two of the five charming fishing villages.
  • Portofino: Visit this elegant fishing village and admire the colored houses and yachts moored in the harbor.
  • Lake Maggiore: Step out with your Travel Director to experience the charming traditional social ritual of la passeggiata. All across Italy, in cities, towns and villages people leave their houses to gently walk streets, from babies in strollers to the most senior citizens. Savor a gelato or glass of wine along the way and observe, as new romances, new babies and new shoes are all put on display. Note the ever-stylish Italians love to dress up for the occasion so feel free add a touch of flair to your outfit!
