"I can't tell you how much we enjoyed our guided tour. It was a great time and a great value. Both our guides, Jonas and Bernhardt, were fabulous. I would highly recommend them both! They were able to help me in recovering my valuables, which were in a bag which got detached from my bike. Jonas in particular was very helpful in communicating with the person who found the bag. A big thank you to him. The food prepared by both was great and the restaurants were fine too. Overall, a great experience and I would recommend to others."

Of all European countries, none draws visitors over and over again like Italy. A peninsula extending into the Mediterranean Sea, Italy consists of 21 diverse regions of rolling hills, vineyards, mountains, lakes, cliffs and islands. Each region has its unique charm, but all share the ‘Italian’ view that life should be taken at a slow pace with time to enjoy conversation, food and drink. Together, Italy’s regions boast the highest number of UNESCO World Heritage Sites in the world. Rome, Florence, Venice, Assisi and Pisa are a few of the country's renowned cities along with Italy’s 95,000 monumental churches, 40,000 forts and castles and 5,600 museums and archaeological sites. Whether you ride a gondola through Venice’s Grand Canal, stroll along Lake Como or visit the Coliseum in Rome, the opportunities are endless when visiting Italy.
