Rated 2 out of 5 stars

Hard work getting on and off of the trains with luggage. The hotel was not well situated, at the top of the hill. Food was very basic and no vegetables at all. This holiday was graded as a 2 which meant you had to be able to walk on various terrains for between 30-45 minutes but unfortunately some of the tours were much longer than that! Very disappointing all in all.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

This holiday was simply perfect. From leaving St Pancras by train via interesting Turin to arriving in beautiful Desenzano. The excursions were well organised and very interesting. The days in between allowed us to explore other places by bus (in our case) The tour guide was friendly and professional and went above and beyond to help us. The food in Hotel Desenzano was lovely and the group were like old friends by the end of the week. We did not want to come home. Would definitely go again

Nice trips but basic accommodation and journey home was long winded

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

This was my first trip with Great Rail Journeys and I thoroughly enjoyed my holiday. I was kept well informed from the moment I booked and given all the information I needed before travelling. Throughout the holiday, our dedicated tour guide inspired me with confidence, especially as I was travelling on my own. Everything was well organised and the hotels we stayed in were comfortable and of a good standard. I would travel with GRJ again and highly recommend their efficiency and customer care.

Well organised & good excursions. A more convenient hotel in Desanza nearer the lake would improve the package.

What a great trip from start to finish - GRJ had organised everything so well. We loved the Italian people, the mix of trips and free time, and the great group of people (now friends) on the trip. Loved it.

Hi Derrick,

Thank you for your review.

I'm delighted to hear that you had such a brilliant holiday in the north of Italy! Unfortunately traditional hotels in Italy don't tend to provide kettles so I appreciate your frustration at this.

I do hope that we can welcome you on tour with us again soon.


Best wishes,
Richard
