Review of Stresa’s Borromean Islands boat tour, with island highlights, costs, timing tips, and honest advice on whether it is worth booking.
“Beautiful Isobella!!! Viator stated hop on off all day. Boat taxi only let us do 2 stops and the rude boat captain grabbed our tickets and said it impossible to go on more !!”
Review of the Taormina to Syracuse and Noto day trip, with Greek ruins, Ortigia, Baroque streets, costs, timing, and practical tips.
“We visited Noto, Syracuse and Ortigia on this tour. Each destination was beautiful, with Noto being a particular highlight and the cannoli there a real standout! However, the day involved a lot more travel than expected. After multiple pick-ups and a refreshment stop, it took around three hours before reaching our first stop. We only had about an hour in each place, which wasn’t quite enough time to explore or have lunch comfortably. Our guide Christy was fantastic — knowledgeable, friendly and passionate about the area. But the walking pace was very fast, which was challenging for some older participants. Overall, a lovely introduction to these destinations, but be prepared…”
Review of Capri’s DIY day trip with boat tour, Blue Grotto stop, Anacapri bus, Mount Solaro chairlift, lunch, and funicular.
“Had a great time on this self-guided tour! Instructions were simple to follow and everything was in place for activities just as the directions stated. Wish we could've dome the Blue Grotto; waters were too choppy”

Review of the Florence and Pisa day trip from Livorno, with guided sightseeing, round-trip transport, timing, value, and practical tips.

Review of the Cinque Terre day trip from Florence, with coach transport, free village time, costs, train tips, and honest advice.

“Our driver Zahir was excellent. There was nothing that can be improved. His knowledge is amazing and learnt so much more about all where he drove us. He was very attentive and there wasn't anything we asked help for, did he once say he couldn't do it. I would recommend him very highly..”
