Reviews from travellers on this tour

Amanda M  

Was such a fantastic time with Denise

29 Apr 2024

Our guide around Venice was the lovely Denice who was a local person with all of the local knowledge about all things Venice. We are from Australia, we enjoyed ourselves so much on her tour, her English was excellent, and so was her great sense of humour. Denise was passionate about giving us an authentic Venice experience, sharing her extensive knowledge about Venice’s past and present. Our Venice tour was definitely one of our favourites and would highly recommend. If we return to Venice we will be getting in touch with her again! We had such a fabulous time!

Fantastic experience with Wanderful Holidays

22-May-2024

My partner and I booked with Wanderful Holidays for our first trip to Italy! We did Venice- Rome- Almafi Coast. We had an incredible time. Wanderful Holidays went above and beyond for us this trip. All the travelling was well planned with reminders the day before and any questions Wanderful would get back to us immediately on WhatsApp. I made a mistake thinking that the hotel transfer was included from Naples train station to Almafi Coast, my partner and I were panicking the night before looking into public transport which would have taken another 3 hours (train, bus and ferry). Wanderful holidays searched high and low for a reputable transfer as their usual company were fully booked, by the time we woke up in the morning it was all sorted and the transfer was waiting for us at the train station. My partner and Wanderful were also in contact 2 weeks prior to our holiday as my partner wanted to organise a treat for my birthday on the last day of our trip, to my complete surprise Wanderful gifted me with beautiful roses, Prosecco and a personalised cake brought up to our hotel room! Overall I would 100% recommend Wanderful Holidays to anyone. We have had a lovely experience and made incredible memories on this trip.

Experienced independent traveler but first time using a tour

March 31, 2024

My 10-year-old son and I just came back from Rome-Florence-Venice and we thoroughly enjoyed it. It was our first time in Italy and first time using a tour. There were a couple of minor hiccups but our tour’s staff members, Hannah, Barbara, Rose, Wendy, Alberto, Sam were extremely helpful and pleasant to work with. They were super responsive via WhatsApp. I thought our itinerary was very reasonable. We mostly travel independently but the travel logistics were all pre-arranged for us. Thanks again for the top-notch customer service.
