Wonderful sights! Brilliant, helpful tour manager, lovely group, beautiful venues.
Enjoyable trip. Excellent guide. Pretty good choice of hotels.
Tuscany is a beautiful places to visit but travelling to each destination was tiring and took a long time with some days having to use both train and coaches. Our initial journey from London to Turin taking over 12 hours.Transport timetables restricted time spent visiting some places and Great Rail do not make this very clear in their description of the holiday or even underplay it. The stops to take in the views of Alps never happened, all we had was one 15 minute stop at a lorry drivers services. The main hotel in Montecatini was basic but clean however the rooms were not completely as described (no air conditioning and no mini bar unless you count the very dated fridge). The rooms do need updating. In our experience most of the staff were pleasant. Our tour guide Lina was a very lovely lady and was always very welcoming and although she went above and beyond she seemed to have been thrown in at the deep end. It is unlikely we would book this type of holiday again , too much travelling and time spent waiting on station platforms.
Trip was well organised with a very good Tour Manager but the hotel in Montecatini Terme was a disappointment. Room was clean and adequate but the food was very poor. This is not a 4* hotel as advertised.
