We had guided tours of Milan, Verona, and Venice. All the guides were knowledgeable and gave excellent tours. We particularly enjoyed the guide in Verona and Venice.

Hotel Reviews
Hotel Garni Snaltnerhof
Ortisei

We enjoyed this hotel. It was in a great location. The room was sizeable and comfortable. Breakfast was very good. We were not expecting the public transportation ticket that came with the room. This came in very handy and we used public transportation for 2 days with ease. It was a super perk.

Antica Locanda dei Mercanti
Milan

We really liked this hotel. We were not aware before hand that you have to enter a hallway to access the hotel. When we arrived we entered the hallway and someone came and closed the large doors behind us. It was a little scary for a moment until we found a stair case leading up to the hotel and were greeted by hotel staff. The room was comfortable and large and the shower was excellent!

Hotel Indigo Verona - Grand Hotel Des Arts
Verona

We enjoyed this hotel. It was close to the main train station for easy access. We didn't realize the room bar was included until arrival but it included only 1 beer and some water and juice - not really a great perk... The room was sizeable, clean, breakfast was really good, the shower was nice.

This hotel was very unique and reminded us of Ikea with the more modern style. The room was large and clean and the shower was great. Breakfast was very good.

This was a fun tour of the old town of Bolzano and to learn about some of the history and the food. The guide was excellent and was local so took us to very unique and great stops on the tour.

The tour was a quick overview of the sights in Milan. It did not include any entries and that was a bit disappointing but okay for the time we had to spend in the city.

Our guide was excellent and we enjoyed walking through Verona. The tour did not include many entries so be aware of the fact that you will just be walking by most of the sites. This was fine for us since our time in the city was short.

Venice

This was a fun experience. The explanation and directions of where to go were lacking some details. The experience was in the upper most floor of a building that had to be accessed by ringing the doorbell. While we figured this out easy enough it would have been easier to have that information up front. The cooking class was fun and the chef was fun and interesting.
