I do not recommend the Magnificent Italy tour to anyone. It was not possible to enjoy Italy for the following reasons:
1 - out of the declared 8 days of travel, you spend 4 on the bus in a crooked state.
2 - in hotels, breakfasts consisted of cereal, and 1 piece of sausage, 1 cheese (they did not serve breakfast, in general). + there was no place to buy food except for gas stations, there is only sliced sausage and very expensive. We managed to dine in the institution 2 times, and 1 time to have lunch. Hotels are located far from the cities where excursions take place, so you go somewhere for a long time and come back very late (by 12 usually), you don’t have time to find food.
3 - about half of the excursions were lost. One did not gather the required number of people and it was canceled. Two excursions were given to choose from and 16 out of 30 people voted for any garbage, as a result, we lost 2 cool excursions and a check-in to Auchan (never take a tour with the right to choose people on the bus or / or, otherwise you won’t even see the sea in Italy, only clear, without variations tour). And 2 more excursions were ruined by drivers. Not knowing the way, they were late for 2 hours to Verona and the guide began her story at 8 pm, finished at 9 and took us away at 9.30. We didn't really see anything. And in Milan, they circled for an hour and a half in search of their parking. All this time was then calculated from our free time in this city.
4- drivers are a completely separate case. I haven’t seen such boorish people for a long time, they didn’t care about people so much that they didn’t even bother to talk politely. It looked like second class people were crammed into their favorite bus and wanting something. Already in Ukraine, on the way back, one of the men in our group almost stuffed one of them in the face, as they closed the bus, left for 40 minutes and people stood on the street - they were freezing, and the first had a pregnant wife. He pressed the button and opened the bus door - let people in to warm up. Upon returning, the driver yelled obscenities so that a fight almost took place, when 3 men surrounded the driver and promised to pour him in, he lagged behind the one who opened the door.
In the cities themselves, the excursions were very interesting, but their own fatigue from moving, a tour poorly organized in all respects, and constant hunger did not allow them to concentrate and relax.
