We had a really good tour around The Vatican including all the museums. Our guide Rita gave us a very interesting and informative tour. It was at times very difficult having a face mask on all the time but she was able to give us the best tour even with a mask. Thank you very much, Rita Eskild og Susanne

As a family of three, we were excited to go on the 7 day northern lakes and Dolomites tour - especially as it would be very difficult to visit these areas by ourselves (visiting from Australia and not confident driving/getting around to these areas). The tour started well, we were the only English speakers but we had been assured our guide would provide fluent English commentary. Perhaps we expected too much but there was very little information provided about where we were or where we were travelling through. In fact, the first three days we received very limited information in total while the Spanish speakers were provided with much more. We visited some stunning places but too much of the tour focused on lunch breaks and eating rather than seeing the sights. Halfway through the tour more English speakers joined the group bit we still had to seek information rather than being provided with it on some occasions. The bus was too big for navigating city streets and mountain switchbacks - the driver often had to reverse and try multiple times to get around corners and switchbacks. I felt very sorry for him - he did a marvelous job but it would have been so much easier for him and much more enjoyable for us if we weren't concerned about falling off the side of a mountain. The company can't seem to decide whether they are catering to small groups or large and this has a huge impact on the enjoyment of the tour. In Trento we were advised that we would have several hours and could visit the castle. After paying for admission and entering we were then advised that because it was raining some people didn't want to stay so we were cutting the visit short - this should never happen! We then had to get back on the bus only to stop at a truck stop for lunch (instead of staying in lovely Trento). There wasn't really any point to having the guide as he did not provide much "guiding" only very limited information and directions to places he thought we should go and eat. We would have done as well with just the driver. If you can navigate your way around the northern lakes and Dolomites by yourself then I recommend you do that. Otherwise, perhaps a different company would provide a better tour.

We were not informed about this when booking. We paid 70€ instead of the standard 9€ for nothing different We were given gifts - presumably to make up for the price difference and to justify the price- they were too large to bring back when travelling by air and products one could have easily bought .

I’ve been to many European Airports and it’s always a long and exhausting process getting through them after a long flight which is why I was so grateful to have availed True Blue Italy’s Airport Assistance Service! I know that Rome Fiumicino Airport isn’t tough to navigate through but this service just speeds up the whole process and is certainly worth it! As soon as I got off the plane, there was someone waiting to guide me through the airport, skip ALL of the lines, get my passport stamped in a matter of minutes as opposed to at least 1-2 hours (Peak season) and then onwards to get my luggage that a porter was waiting to collect as well! I was so happy to see how smoothly everything went and on my way back home from Rome, I had the same and equally amazing experience and for the departure, access to a lounge was also included in this on top of the services that were offered during my arrival! I would definitely recommend this to anyone who wants to skip the hassle of airports and breeze through! Can’t wait to return soon????????
