Itinerary
We meet at London St Pancras, where we take the Eurostar service to Paris. Changing trains, we continue by rail to Turin where we spend the night. An attractive Italian city filled with Baroque and Renaissance architecture, Turin is a fantastic introduction to the country, with wide boulevards and grand public squares lined with enticing cafés and bars.

We met our Tour Manager at St Pancras & were escorted, very ably, every day. Great seats on all the long distance trains to view the stunning scenery. Some 'down time' was factored in and was appreciated due to the exceptional temperatures in June '22. The hotels were comfortable and food good. We had a great room/view/balcony in Montecatini Terme, but others had a view next door's disused pool & no balcony. I would recommend to able bodied, active people.

Administration at GRJ is appalling we waited 2 weeks for a response after our initial complaint and have since received a reply informing us it is going to take another 28 days for them to respond. Customer service is poor but we enjoyed our time in Italy, however a lot of the train journeys left a lot to be desired. Disappointing for the money we paid.

Hotel Francia e Quirinale dinner menu was very basic and limited. Gala dinner was very poor and disappointing. Little better than a school meal.

Fantastic holiday and it would have scored 5 stars but I feel that for the price we paid for the holiday, the 2.5 hour journey from Viareggio on the local train home wasn't acceptable. If there was no better train option, a coach would have been better.

The tour and tour manager were excellent but there was a lack of timely information from the York office which caused some anxiety.

A 2-year co A little tiringvid-delayed holiday which, in the end, we thoroughly enjoyed. A little tiring, especially in the unseasonally hot weather, but very interesting.
