"Excellent itinerary and guide. The walking tours cover the main sites and museums of Florence. We were shown important works of art without being overwhelmed. And with some time on our own, we were able to spend more time in some of the museums and walk around the city at our leisure. The optional day trip to Siena and a winery visit has been enjoyable."

"At 73, I was a little nervous at going on my first group holiday on my own but I soon found there was no need to be. Everything ran smoothly and our tour guide Illir was amazing!! So knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. Our driver Genti skillfully and carefully looked after our safety in air-conditioned comfort (very welcome indeed). All the hotels we stayed at were very comfortable and also air-conditioned. Brilliant itinerary, well put together, a real insight into this amazing country"
