I wouldn’t change a thing. This was our first overseas trip with kids (8 &11) so we were a little trepidatious. Exodus travel had everything planed out perfectly. It was the right blend of incredible activity and free time. Our guide Savy always had an amazing 6th sense for just when the kids needed an ice cream recharge. 2 Tori in Agerola was a great place to stay and beautiful. It’s just above all the craziness of the coast but still very convenient. Not having to drive in Naples and the Amalfi coast yourself is probably worth the cost lol.

I took my 12 year old son on the Intrepid Family Adventure. We had an amazing time. The guide was helpful, considerate and lots of fun. Playing games with the kids in the pool and making sure everyone was comfortable and happy. The pace was fantastic for a family with the mornings full of exploring with the group and the afternoons reserved for free time for families to spend together. Our highlight was the sailing trip to Capri. Can't recommend highly enough

The tour that we joined was the Italian Holiday trip, which is a fairly ambitious 1-week tour, in terms of sights to see. I enjoyed seeing the many sites, and our tour guide, Susan, was extremely helpful, knowledgeable, and did an amazing job. However, my complaint with the trip revolves around the business model operated by Trafalgar, in which the customer books a 1-week trip, and is cornered into purchasing the 'optional excursions'. For example, on Day 3 of our tour, we boarded our bus at our hotel in Rome and drove 6 hours to Venice. The tour guide had informed us at the start of the trip that we had the option to take a gondola ride in Venice for an additional 70 euros per person. Most of the tour group decided to take the optional excursion, but my family decided against this, as it was quite an expensive item. The four of us were told that they could drop us off near the city and that we could see Venice on our own. There was never a plan for this entire day to tour anything... instead we were dropped off in Venice. We had much difficulty in getting to the city center, as the drop off point was far away. It ended up being extremely stressful on us. My question to Trafalgar is "how is this a tour? I could have just taken a bus from Rome to Venice on my own.". This pattern continued the next day. We were driven from Venice to Verona, where instead of being given a tour of the city - a natural thing to expect of a tour group, we were given the OPTION to pay for a tour of Verona. WTF. So again, this could have been accomplished by just a bus trip on our own. Another example: walking tour of Rome's fountains... 30 additional euros for a TOUR GUIDE to tell you about Rome's fountains while you walk from location to location. Umm? So really, this was probably 25% tour, and 75% just transit. In fact, I'm pretty sure we were directed to stores and locations that had arrangements with Trafalgar for shopping, etc. This tour is a business model that has been created to maximize revenues and profits - not your intake of information or enjoyment. Very disappointed.

I'd give 6 stars if I could ! It was a trip of a lifetime..we were so excited about the iconic sights we saw and had forgotten about other wonderful events and locations; as the tour around Capri; the inside Venice tour etc. The driving was excellent and the tour guide Elena was wonderful....we will cherish the memory forever !!

Experienced an excellent tour led by the most knowledgeable, personable and professional tour director I have encountered over the course of 5 tours, 3 being with Trafalgar. Colleen is super efficient and this combined with her priority to satisfy each tour member's special needs, be they dietary, health-related or even pertaining to specialty shopping make her an extremely valuable asset to the Trafalgar family. Colleen took me to a pharmacy when my ankles swelled and tirelessly located several bookstores in various cities for me, all because she knew how important this was to me. She worked well with our professional driver Michele and kept us informed, entertained and educated about our surroundings, simultaneously. Colleen made this tour special and memorable for all 41 of us!

Overall the experience was great! We LOVED Susan and Tanino. Some of the hotel rooms were not great. The rush I can see was necessary, but was a little frustrating sometimes when I was taking pictures of things while I was walking to rush to the next thing.

The trip was enjoyable with friendly tour guides. The structure at times did feel slightly rushed, but I appreciated how one half of the day is dedicated to the history and tour of the cities with the other half being optional walks or wandering and shopping. Overall, I enjoyed my time with the tour in Italy and I do recommend it.

Fantastic tour, even for the novice cyclist! We didn't start riding bikes until 3 months before the tour started and we had NO trouble keeping up with the daily mileage. The guides on our tour were awesome and made the entire experience a lot of fun and very informative. The food everywhere was AMAZING!!! Hotel accommodations were first class and included a breakfast that would put anything in the USA to shame! We had fresh chocolate croissants every morning! Gorgeous countryside, and even the other people on the tour were a lot of fun and everyone got along wonderfully. Very, very worth it, even if you've never cycled before. Don't miss this experience!
