Top Highlights

  • Trevi FountainThe Pantheon's dome is still the largest unreinforced concrete dome on earth, at nineteen hundred years old.
  • ColosseumColosseum entry is timed and sells out days ahead.
  • Vatican MuseumsThe Vatican Museums are a two-kilometre one-way corridor ending at the Sistine Chapel.
  • DuomoFour hundred and sixty-three steps up between the two shells of the dome.
  • Leaning TowerThe five villages are linked by a local train every twenty minutes; the coastal footpath between two of them is often closed for landslides.
  • Grand CanalVaporetto line 1 up the Grand Canal at dusk costs the price of a bus ticket and beats every paid cruise.

Well paced over 7 days with enough free time to not feel herded. Rooms were comfortable and the locations meant we could walk most evenings. Guides answered every question, including the daft ones. Worth every rupee.

Everything was arranged properly — transfers, entries, all of it. Hotels were clean and central, which saved a lot of time. Would book with them again.

Too much time on the coach and not enough at the places we'd come for. Whoever planned the days knew what they were doing.

Thanks for writing this up. We've passed your note to the team.

Hotels were a step below what I expected for the price. The team read the group well and adjusted without making a thing of it.

Reply from Cypress & Stone

Appreciate the honest feedback; we're looking at the pacing on that section.
