Wonderful Day - We really enjoyed this tour. We took this tour as a group of 5 and we not only saw a lot and learned a lot , we had the good fortune of having Nicholas and Jordan (Giordano) as our guide and driver. These gentlemen had taken us on the Pompeii and Amalfi coast tour a few days prior and we really enjoyed traveling with them. Two people in our group were senior citizens who needed a little extra help with getting in and out of the van and Nicholas and Jordan looked after them in every way going above and beyond to ensure they were comfortable . Nicholas once again orchestrated everything perfectly and provided a lot of interesting information about the sites we were seeing and towns we were passing. Jordan was always ready to help with loading and unloading the van and went the extra mile to position the van at the end of each stop to make it easier on our Seniors. The scenery was terrific , we had a lovely visit to Pisa and then on to Florence where we had a delicious lunch (excellent Florentine steak) in a local restaurant Nicholas recommended. Our tour after lunch with a local Florentine guide was very enjoyable, we got to see where the creator of Pinocchio lived, we went into the Gallery and saw the famous statue of David ( you can’t see the level of detail in pictures you need to see it for yourself) we learned more about Michelangelo and then our guide took us for a nice walk through the center of Florence and provided lots of interesting information. We had a terrific day and our thanks again to Nicholas and Jordan , we truly enjoyed our day and appreciate all they did to make it pleasant, smooth and memorable.

Beautiful tour - We really enjoyed this tour. We took this tour as a family group of 5 and we not only saw a lot and learned a lot, we had the good fortune of having Nicholas and Giordano as our guide and our driver. These gentleman had taken us on another tour with welcome Italy a couple of days prior and we really enjoyed traveling with them. Two people in our group were Senior Citizens that needed a little extra help with their mobility and getting in and out of the van and Nicholas and Giordano looked after them helping them in every way going above and beyond to ensure they were comfortable. Nicholas once again orchestrated everything perfectly and provided a lot of interesting information about the things we were seeing and towns we were passing. Giordano was always ready to help with loading or unloading the minivan and he went the extra mile to position the vehicle at the end of each stop to accommodate our seniors. The scenery was terrific, we had a lovely visit to Pisa and a wonderful lunch courtesy of a restaurant recommendation from Nicholas. Our tour after lunch with a local Florentine guide was very enjoyable, we got to see the statue of David and learn about Michelangelo and we had a nice walk through the heart of Florence with the guide who provided a lot of interesting historical information. Our thanks again to Nicholas and Giordano, we truly enjoyed the tour and appreciate all you did to make it a memorable experience.

Put this one on top of your bucket list - This trip is a MUST for anyone who plans to visit ITALY. And if there’s one Italian word that best describes this experience, that’ll be - PERFETTO! Thanks to Juliana and Giordano, I couldn’t ask for more. Simply giving them a 5-star rating wouldn’t do justice to the efforts they put in to ensure our satisfaction. So how about a 10!

Learning and having fun - While we spent most of our time in Rome, we used these day trips with Welcome Italy as a way to explore other cities during our trip We had Dina as our guide and Massimo as our driver. They were a great team. We were picked up at our hotel right on time. Massimo was a skilled and careful driver and very courteous person. Having Dina as our guide was outstanding. She was extremely knowledgeable and provided a wealth of information but without making it overwhelming. She was very friendly and always willing to give tips on what to do or where to find things we were interested in, even outside the scope of the tour. Dina guided us in our visit to Pisa to see the cathedral, the baptistery and the leaning tour. She offered excellent explanations and was always quick to offer to take a photo for us. In Florence we also met another guide, Giovanni, who guided us through Florence and the visit to the Academy Museum, where we had the opportunity to see the David of Michelangelo. Awe inspiring! Giovanni gave us a phenomenal! explanation about the evolution of the painting styles from Middle Ages to the Renaissance. When in conversation with Dina she heard that we were interested in also visiting Pompei and the Amalfi coast she called her company’s office and made all the arrangements to make it possible for us to take a tour of Pompei, the Amalfi coast and Positano two days later. We had the luck of getting that tour with Dina and Massimo as well. In Pompei we met another guide, Francesco, who gave us an amazing tour of Pompei. We learned so much! We recommend these tours to anyone really interested in learning while having fun. Gracie Dina e Massimo!

Avoid WELCOME ITALY – Highly Unprofessional and Misleading - Avoid WELCOME ITALY – Highly Unprofessional and Misleading Our experience with Welcome Italy was deeply disappointing and far from what was advertised. I strongly advise against booking with this company, especially for high-value tours. Below is a factual breakdown of what was promised versus what we received:     •    Promised: Complimentary transfer in a minivan Reality: We were picked up in a small sedan with inadequate legroom, which made for an uncomfortable journey.     •    Promised: Guided visit to the Piazza dei Miracoli in Pisa Reality: We arrived in Pisa at 10:30 AM, only to find that the site doesn’t open until 1:30 PM. We were unable to visit it at all.     •    Promised: Entry to the Duomo di Pisa Reality: The Duomo didn’t open until 11:30 AM, so we spent unnecessary time waiting, with no coordination or alternative arrangements provided. Our time in Pisa was poorly planned and essentially wasted. Unfortunately, the situation deteriorated further upon arrival in Florence:     •    We were introduced to a local guide who, we learned, had only been contacted by the company an hour before our arrival. There was no preparation or organization.     •    The itinerary specifically listed admission to the Galleria dell’Accademia. In reality, admission is free on the first Sunday of the month—information the company used to imply a paid ticket. the line stretched around the building-2 blocks. When we attempted to voice our concerns to the company representative, we were met with unprofessionalism, dismissiveness, and no accountability. No efforts were made to rectify the situation, and no apology was ever offered. In total, we spent over €1,000 on this tour. We entered just one building throughout the entire experience. The services were not only subpar but blatantly misleading. This company is untrustworthy. Based on our experience, I would caution anyone considering booking with Welcome Italy: the promises made on their website are not delivered, and customer service is virtually nonexistent. You will likely walk away frustrated, disappointed, and significantly out of pocket.
