“I never joined organized tours until April 2022 in The Best of Italy. Such a wonderful experience opened my eyes. The tour was packed with activities every day. Their accommodations were top-notch. The choice of restaurants and food venues was impeccable. The tour guides were very educated and knowledgeable about practically all subjects on the tour. Most of all, flights and airport connections, transfers and road trips from one town to another were seamlessly organized. All I had to do was show up. What a breeze! Thank you smarTours and most especially to our very calm and organized tour director Claudia!!”

“Best of Italy was my third trip with SmarTours. I was very impressed with the itinerary/sights/tours/busses. I learned so much of Italy's history, culture, food and people. We were going non-stop with a very full itinerary...Venice, water taxi to hotel and to Murano glass; St. Mark's, Duomo, Michelangelo's 'David' in Florence; Assisi, St Peter Basilica, Sistine, Coliseum, Roman Forum, Pisa, Pompeii, Sorrento, Amalfi Coast - all so awesome & exceeded expectations! Each hotel was comfortable. Included meals & entertainments were good, nice variety with generous portions of food & wine. Our tour director handled all the complex logistical details of boats, bus, luggage, hotel rooms, included meals, and local tour guides. The group of 38 (all wonderful companions!) was way too large to organize such a complex trip, but thought she could do a better job of explaining/posting details of the day (timing, expectations for next day, miles of walking, meals/driver tipping, directions to hotel, optional tours, shorts/shoulders/backpacks/large umbrellas not allowed, public toilets are 50 or 1 euro). Every one of our local tour guides were very good & knowledgeable. Overall, I truly enjoyed this amazing trip! Some disappointments: SmarTours should ask if double or twin bed desired by couples. Info in packet said casual clothing, however should mention proper dress for churches or the included 'lavish dinner'. They should make air details available and I would have done LAND only. We did not expect additional flights until received email week prior. We spent entire day at JFK; it's filthy & disorganized and Air Italia counter was rude. No seats pre-assigned therefore our seats were often not together & no choices regarding aisle/window. Food & service on all planes were awful. Should have returned us by bus from Sorrento to Rome Airport.”
