Italian Lakes
The Magic of the Italian Lakes

Global Journeys were excellent with our arrangements. Yes we would travel with Cosmos again definitely. We had a wonderful time exploring the Italian lakes region. Personally the best & easiest way to explore foreign countries.
The Italian Lakes are not to be missed
The Magic of the Italian Lakes
Faye and Dianne, WA, Australia, Jun 2025
This is a fabulous trip with 2 days at each hotel. I highly recommend the Italian Lakes as a relaxing style of travel . The lakes and the surrounding area is absolutely beautiful. We had a great group of people that mixed very well together. One thing I would recommend is a get together dinner early in the trip instead of it being the second last night. read more Thanks to Tracey at Global Journeys for looking after us.
Perfect way to see Northern Italy Cinque Terre
Northern Italy including Cinque Terre
Michael, WA, Australia, May 2025
Absolutely wonderful tour and great itinerary! Highly recommend for a tour of Northern Italy. Travel time was planned
smartly and efficiently to ensure the time was spent well. It's easy to add another extension before or after the group tour as well with Milan as a central location.

Great Hiking Trip
Walk The Prosecco Hills & Hidden Venice
Ambra, NSW, Australia, Apr 2025
Really enjoyed Walking the Prosecco Hills and Hidden Venice Tour. The itinerary was well-planned and our guide Mattia was great. The 'hiking-free' day in Venice was as described, ie to explore the lesser-known' districts of Venice - which was welcomed. Restaurant meals were excellent. The only slight disappointment was the Hotel accommodation ... nothing read more serious but a few of us in the group had leaking showers that left large puddles in the bedroom.
Wonderful spotlight tour
Spotlight on Northern Italy
Brigette and Kathleen, VIC, Australia, Apr 2025
Our tour manager Antonia was fabulous & helped make this tour memorable for all the right reasons. Also the coach driver Andrea was excellent. We really enjoyed our day in the Dolomites & Cortina, this was spectacular. We would have liked to see more of Murano & found the demonstration a little disappointing. It was only after we left we heard there read more was a glass museum on Murano which we would have really enjoyed seeing. Most of our meals were enjoyable but the restaurant in Venice was very noisy & the food not special at all. Our hotel Carlton in Treviso was really good & a great central spot for our daily excursions. The farewell tour & meal at the Villa was excellent & such a highlight. Overall a really enjoyable tour, thank you.
True Indulgence
Italian Indulgence
Susan, NSW, Australia, Oct 2024
The Italian Indulgence tour was my 5th tour with Backroads and possibly the most outstanding. A perfect blend of rural countryside, beautiful lakes and historic cities. There were many highlights for me including staying in the beautiful villas in the Florentine and Langhe Hills, Truffle hunting with Mia the dog, spending time in the elegant Portofino read more and enjoying the beautiful Italian Lakes namely Maggiore, Como and Molveno. The pace of the tour was ideal, the hotels away from bus loads of tourists and the culture exquisite. I would highly recommend this tour and the guide, Beatrice. Thank you Tracey and the team at Global Journeys for your assistance in making this dream holiday come to fruition. You have always provided first class service. I will always be a Backroads fan.
