Question: Is Airfare Included in the Price?
Dana was great, very responsive to our questions and very helpful. Thanks Dana!
The first night in Milan at the Holiday Inn was awful- other than that we had nice accommodations and a terrific tour guide.
Our Tour Director, Patrizia, was one of the finest group leader that we've encountered. Her pleasing ways made the trip outstanding!
More expensive than other tour operators. Guide was less than acceptable.
Northern Italy tour with Trafalgar was one of our best vacations ever. Italy was beautiful, tour director great and new friendships amongst fellow travelers made the trip memorable.
The first day (5/5) stayed onHokiday Inn hotel in Milan is not a good place to stay: dirty, small room in a bit safe area.
Good planning and help from Yulanda.
This was my first tour with Trafalgar (I have taken several prior tours with Gate1). I hoped the experience would be a good one, and I am happy to say that it was. The tour leader was outstanding. Hotels were all very good.
The only hotel in Italy we did not like was the Holiday Inn. Our room there smelled heavy with cigarette smoke.
