We booked 3 tours with ItalyTours-EU on our Mediterranean cruise in June 2022. All 3 tours were excellent, and I would definitely recommend this company. See below for specifics on each tour. The Best of the French Riviera with Italy Tours We did a full-day tour with Italy Tours, "The Best of the French Riviera" on a recent Royal Caribbean Med Greek cruise. We opted for the semi-private tour with Italy Tours, which meant that our driver was also our guide. The driver did a great job showing us the sights of Cannes, Nice, Monaco and Monte Carlo. He did not, however, have as much background and information as an expert guide such as we saw on other tours. The only complaint we had was that the vehicle was much too small for 8 full-size adults. Two people had to sit in a rather cramped space in front, and three people had to climb in and out of the way back. I would highly recommend this company, because of the professional support and assistance received from staff in booking the tour. I suggest that you consider the private tour option, however, if you are concerned about having a professional guide, and/or if you prefer more comfortable space in the vehicle. The Best of Florence & Pisa with Italy Tours We did a full-day tour with Italy Tours called "Best of Florence and Pisa" on a recent Royal Caribbean Med Greek cruise. We opted for the semi-private tour with Italy Tours, which included a very experienced driver all day long, and an expert professional guide in Florence. Luca Misuri of Unlock Italy gave us a fascinating 2-hour tour of Florence. He was both knowledgeable and entertaining, and he kept us engaged and interested the entire tour. Luca showed us all of the major sites in Florence as well as the tucked away places that you wouldn't notice if someone didn't tell you about them. The driver did a great job of navigating the highways and the city streets, and he kept us safe and on time all day. All in all, this was an excellent tour, thanks to Italy Tours and Luca our Florence guide. The Best of Rome & the Vatican with Italy Tours We booked the semi-private full-day Best of Rome and the Vatican tour with Italy Tours and it was excellent. Our driver/guide Valerio did a fantastic job of navigating the streets of Rome, and showed us all of the famous ancient landmarks, including Circo Massimo (Ben Hur movie was made there), Colisseum, Roman Forum, an ancient Roman House, Palassio Venezia (Musilini's house), the Wedding Cake building dedicated to a king and then later to dead soldiers, the Church of St. Ignatius (Jesuits), the Trevi Fountain (made famous by the old movie 3 Coins in a Fountain), and Vatican City. Our private guide in Vatican City was Oresto, and he showed us the Vatican Museum, Sisteen Chapel, St. Peter's Church and St. Peter's Square. He did a fantastic job of explaining everything to us. Our only regret is that we spent too much time in the Museum, and then did not have enough time to thoroughly explore St. Peter's Church.
