We just booked the Tauck Tuscany and Umbria Tour, but not till Sept. 2024 -- we did book with our friends who went on the Danube Xmas Market River Cruise with us - they LOVED both Tauck & Europe & want to go back.
The Tuscany & Umbria tour is only one week -- we've been to Italy, but our friends have not - we plan to fly into Venice for a few nights, train to Florence for a few nights -- then do the Tauck Tour - -- it ends in Rome and we plan to stay a couple days longer in Rome for our friends to see the Vatican, Pantheon, Colosseum/Forum.
I would love some of your suggestions for hotels you've stayed at in Venice and Florence - I have looked at the ones Tauck uses, but I'm curious if anyone has experiences with those or others you may recommend.
We met a couple on our Ultimate Alps & Dolomites -- Oberammergau tour in Oct that had been on this Tuscany and Umbria tour and they raved about it - so we are super excited to go.
We did Venice, Florence and Rome with a Rick Steves tour a few years ago and extended our Italy trip for a total of 3 weeks to see Sorrento and other places - we can't wait to return to Italy.
Thanks for any recommendations for Venice and Florence. We did stay in an amazing B&B in Venice we are considering rebooking as the Tauck Venice hotels are very $$$$$$$$$$
