This trip was beyond all our expectations, our Tour Director was by far the BEST Director we have ever had. I would highly recommend Jeff for his outstanding job making this trip a wonderful experience. Our Bus Driver was also the best, Antonello! Accommodations were also very good, Italian accommodations are very different than American but the hotels we stayed at were very fine and in great areas. All in all I would highly recommend this tour, it was for us, the trip of a lifetime. The only thing I would add is that the walking is moderate to heavy as some of the ruins have many stairs and no elevators.

Affordable Tours did an excellent job of coordinating with Trafalgar to ensure we were able to book our trip easily. Our Wonders of Italy Tour was a family event and I had to assist my older brother and sister in booking the tour. Maya made it super simple for my brother who is technologically challenged. Looking forward to doing business with you again.

The Wonders of Italy was an exception trip. Alex, from Affordable tours made sure that we were prepared with all the information we needed to get there and back. The trip was very well run and organized with a wonderful, fun guide who spoke clearly and was concerned about each passenger. The coach was from Trafalger, The guide's name was Lisa.
