Antonio was amazing. He was thrown into leading our tour last minute and did so well to get everyone on track. Everything was clear where and when we needed to be places and he was very considerate of all the abilities of the group in terms of walking. He took all the stress out of the tour and made sure to always be present at all the activities to continue to support us all. He was also very good at ensuring the dietary requirements for Nathan were catered for so we knew we did not need to worry about his allergies. He even continued to help us with booking our transfers to the airport as the website was very confusing! This tour is brilliant for an all round taste of Italy by having a walking tour of each place to see the main sites and then the optimal tours. The included meals were good but the last meal was a little disappointing as it wasn't great in terms of taste and quality of the food and wine. But the company was amazing as the group was so lovely. The hotels were also good, we had no issues at all although they are a bit out of the way from the centre of the cities but I understand this will be to keep costs down.
My wife and I went on the Dolce Vita trip with the tour operator and we both feel that it was one of our top 3 holidays ever. We LOVED our guides (Andrea & Enrico - one for the mountains and one for the Lakes Region kayaking). The natural beauty was amazing but the care our guides took of the group was truly beyond our expectations. Bravo to the tour operator for partnering with such amazing local guides who are not only knowledgeable but funny and a true pleasure to be around. We LOVED this trip and plan to do more!
Loved every aspect of the tour! Great hotels, great itinerary, Firo, our tour guide, was 110% ready, available, knowledgeable and just the best vibe! Firo is definitely among the best tour leaders at Expat (I'd know, this is my 5th tour with Expat!)
