SUMMARY

Most comprehensive itinerary with more guiding and leisure time. Superior hotels (shared with Tauck) but more desirable locations, no 1N stays, smallest group sizes, smallest minimum departure and best value.

Price is 42% more than Ormina with larger group. Itinerary is not as comprehensive missing key attractions of Lake Como, Verona, Lucca, & Siena. Avoids overnights in popular areas like Tuscany & Cinque Terre in favour of small towns.

Slightly lower comparative daily price but with vastly inferior hotels including 3 star hotels. Larger groups, no overnight in Como, Florence or Venice, minimal guided tours, 5 x 1N stays and minimal leisure time.

Price is 30% more with similar hotels but in less expensive locations e.g. Lake Maggiore not Lake Como. Mainly 1 night stays means more travelling, minimal leisure time and guiding.

Also note: Runs smoothly into Highlights South itinerary, or can have any custom itinerary add on e.g. Rome.

Full days on Day 1 & 12 means guests must book pre/post nights & transfers that increase price.

Limited time in Cinque Terre.

*Tauck “Small Group” Departures vary. $856 pp p/d with a max of 24 OR $776 pp p/d with a max of 44. **Includes day of arrival, excludes departure day. # Back Roads hotels may change depending on departure date. Comparison prices are twin share (not single). Information based off 2019 published tours.
