"My tour leader Milena was fantastic!"

My tour leader Milena was fantastic!! She was funny, and kind, and very organized. She did a great job with getting us all from place to place (which proved to be a chore at times as people frequently wandered off when we were on a time crunch) and coordinating our monument tours! 5 ⭐️’s for her!! I wish that the cities had been done in reverse (we did Venice, Florence and then Rome) and I also wish we had more time in Florence (one day was not enough time). I was less then pleased however, with the hotels. Our hotel in Venice had dirty sheets, flys everywhere, and our A/C and lights didn’t work, and our hotel in Rome smelled like sewage.

"Quelle super expérience de voyage"

Quelle super expérience de voyage, nous avons fait le tour saveurs de l'Italie, Venise, Florence et Rome. Tout à été parfait, les visites guidée en français, les hôtels et transports. Mais surtout nous avons adoré notre guide Milena qui s'est occupé de tout les moindres détails et qui veillait sur nous, quelle gentille personne!je recommande à tous.

"We had the tour"

We had the tour: flavor of Italie (saveur de l’Italie) and from the beginning to the end, we were took in charge and everything was just perfect. The hôtel recommended with nice room, very good breakfast. The travelling was well organized and Milena our guide took good care of us all time… I forgot my sunglasses in an hotel and she managed for me delivery… we had 5 to 7 on top of building in Roma… we really appreciate the whole trip… thanks Milena from meetandgreatitaly

"Great experience!"

Great experience! Overall this tour was well planned and we enjoyed our stay in Italy. The hotels were all very nice and most of the hotel employees were very helpful. The hotels were well located close to the train stations. The hotel in Naples was very nice and close to the train station but the area was very sketchy. Our original hotel( last minute change) was a little farther away from the train station and a much nicer area. The train schedule was very early but the trains were comfortable and it was easy to navigate the train stations. The excursions to Murano, Burano, Capri and the Amalfi coast were great. I would definitely recommend this tour.

"The good and the bad"

The good: we saw a lot of places, the hotel in Florence was very good quality, all the hotels were near train stations, tour guides in Capri/Anacapri were lovely. The bad: This 10 day tour visiting so many places is too hectic and stressful, specially the tours to Murano/Burano/Torcello, and the Amalfi Coast. The hotel San Marco in Rome has new rooms and old rooms, if you get the old rooms then you can feel every spring in the mattress and pillows are a thick as a note book, staff very unfriendly. The hotel in Venice was too far from the tourist area and staff was extremely unfriendly. The Amalfi Coast/Positano/Sorrento tour was spent more time in a car with strangers than enjoying each place. The hop on hop off are a waste of time, they are crowded, have to wait long to hop on and take long time. I would not recommend this to anyone.

"Our guide Constantino was exceptional"

My husband and I enjoyed the 12 day Italian adventure. This trip allowed us to see the major sites in Italy which was ideal for our first visit to this country. It helped us to determine where we might want to go back to visit in the future. The highlight of this trip for us was our guide, Constantino. His care throughout the 12 days was outstanding. He looked after so many special needs, and went well above what would be expected to accommodate special requests, allow us to see additional sites, provide sound advice when we wanted to explore on our own, and so much resourcefulness and patience to deal with lost items, mobility issues, and so on. He is the reason for our five star rating. The trip itself is well planned, really enjoyed the train and baggage service. The hotel venues were great accept for Sorrento - it was disappointing that this hotel was selected given so many negative reviews from previous tours. It was not appropriate for this level of trip and this company would have known that. Other than that, I would definitely recommend Meet and Greet Italy to friends and will hope that they are lucky enough to get Constantino as their guide.

"What a wonderful 9 day rail tour"

What a wonderful 9 day rail tour! Our guide
took care of everything from luggage to dinner bookings and nothing was too much trouble.
The accommodation was generally of a high standard and we had a nice small group of people. Only issue was that we had a disabled person in our group which the tour clearly stated was not suitable for

"Great eco-friendly sample trip"

This tour is aimed at being more eco-friendly; for this reason, it does include a significant amount of walking and using public transportation in large groups. I am in my early 30s and very active, and even I was tired after each day!

Our tour guide Constantino made every effort to accommodate our large group. He did everything in his power to make sure our experience was enjoyable. He went above and beyond by guarding us closely in public, securing private transportation when the public companies were on strike, and acknowledging special requests from group members.

If you have the ability to walk long distances, in crowded areas, on uneven terrain... This is the perfect way to sample Italy in a small amount of time!

"Italian lakes rail tour"

Last month we took part on the 9 day first class rail tour of the Italian lakes. I note that another reviewer mentions that there was no first class rail (we did in fact have one journey in first class) but the rest of the trips were business style - reserved seats, soft drinks and coffee etc.

Our trip was fabulous. From our first meeting with Milena, our guide, everything ran perfectly. Milena organised tickets for trains, ferries and tours. She was super friendly and very approachable. We only had a small group of 8 which enabled everything to run like clockwork. We could not fault any of the accommodation, everywhere was so clean and comfortable with great breakfasts each morning. The WhatsApp group was a great idea enabling Milena and the group to keep in touch at all times.

We had a great time, so much beautiful scenery, walking tours, fabulous food and new found friends. Thank you Milena for making everything perfect.

"Just completed the 12 day Rail tour…"

Just completed the 12 day Rail tour with my wife. There are many good things about this trip. The baggage service, the guides and travelling as a small group about 16 for most of the journey. That being said there are something being over sold and not to the level of organisation or luxury we expected. Firstly these are business class train trips as most don’t offer a first class level. The hotels tend to be close to the stations and a bit out off the cities. Also many a lucky to be 4 stars the exception was Venice but on an outer island. Some activities promised were not delivered some due to unforeseen strikes or bad weather other due to being late to get tickets. Our guide was excellent in dealing with issues that as they arouse such sick people or on person being pick pocketed. However the ability to do extra activities was limited as most of the times tickets to main attractions such as the coliseum sold out weeks in advanced. Preplanning and communications could also help dealing with is. This issue also occurred with some meals which we were taken to one restaurant and not really given other options and had to pay. If we knew early enough we could have made other plans. Overall I found the a good experience and value for money based on the inclusions however with better coordination and communications it could have been even better.
