I had written this review last week:

To Harris Bitsounis and his team - Thank you for a very good experience in Rome, Florence and Venice. An excellent learning experience. All of the transportation connections were spot on. The Travel 12 communication service was very helpful. Of the hotels: The hotel is Venice was very good, perfect location, amenities and a helpful, friendly staff. Room was small and without seating. The hotel in Florence had a helpful and friendly staff. Room was small and without seating. Location was distant and frightening to walk to in the darkness of night. The hotel in Rome had a helpful and friendly staff. The location was good. The room was clean. The presentation was poor. The entrance was dirty. All the cites were busy and crowded with tourists. The planned transportation connections made the entire trip work. The weather was perfect and there was no time wasted. Best regards, Doug and Connie Peden

Additionally, the tour guides for the Vatican, Colosseum and Roman Forum as well as the tour in Florence were excellent. The guides were professional and knowledgeable. The tour through Venice was adequate to gain an understanding of Venice.
