Breathtakingly beautiful Italian Lakes & Tuscany 2 Garry & Shona, VIC, Australia, May 2019
Our recent tour of the Italian Lakes and Tuscany was fabulous! I really can't recommend it highly enough! From the beautiful Lake Maggiorre, where we visited the exquisite Borromeo Palace and lovely manicured gardens alongside it on Isola Bella, to the magnificence of Michelangelo's 'David' in Florence, this tour has it all. The Albatross difference read more is that you stay in lovely hotels (and I'm the fussy type!) and most meals and all touring is included (some companies like to charge you extra for 'optional' add-ons). Albatross also have much smaller groups and really delicious meals, served with quality wines. Another big difference is that they allow you more time to see everything (mostly 2 or 3 night stays.. even 4!) and allow you an afternoon and evening off to do your own thing, or just relax in your wonderful hotel. We won't be travelling with anyone else! Italian Lakes & Tuscany 2 Michele & Glenda, NSW, Australia, Aug 2017
I was very keen to try 'Albatross' tours, because of the longer stays & thought it would be a more relaxed & better pace tour. The 4 /3 nights stay was very good, however, the pace & time/motion factors felt rushed....perhaps they could review their itinerary, & streamline the tour organisation. Farmhouse dinners were pleasant but not up to other tour read more ones I have done. Accommodation was generally, excellent. Incidents, such as the coach breaking down was managed well. Italian Lakes & Tuscany, a wonderful area to revisit again.
