An Amazing Experience!
We got to see so many cool places. Venice was really a unique experience. The tour was very organized. The best part was having our awesome tour leader. She really went above and beyond to take care of us, literally made us feel like a big warm family. The only issue we had was excessive heat of month of June. It was so hot on the day we were touring the Colosseum that we had to cut it short and leave before we get heat stroke. There's so much to see in Rome, and we definitely want to come back again.

Exciting
My 8-days, 7-nights tour of Italy, .dubbed Fantasia, was the best birthday jaunt, ever. Guide Pretizia was very knowledgeable, and welcoming. She was punctual, detailed, and warm throughout the tour. I would definitely, recommend her, and the tour, to future vacationers. Thanks ♥️ 😊

A rip off and a scam; poor quality
One of the worst experiences ever; they take your money offer you guided tours that are a scam ie someone who shows you a square ; meals that are inedible, and hotels for example in venice at least 30 minutes away; their extra tours are 5 times what you would pay on your own; at the end if you have an emergency they dont answer the phone; the pickup driver to airport at least 30 minutes late and drops you at wrong terminal; too many people tour guide could not manage
Response from the operator: Dear Ashna, thank you for sharing your feedback. We are very sorry to hear about your experience. Please note that our team dedicated to this type of multi-day tour has already received your private email and is currently reviewing your case together with our management. We are carefully evaluating the situation and will be in touch with you directly as soon as possible. Thank you for your patience and for bringing this to our attention. Best regards, Gray Line I Love Rome Carrani Tours

8 day tour of Rome
The trip was fun, there was a lot of walking and wouldn’t recommend this to anyone with mobility issues. There was ample time in all locations and in some places too long . Most of the tour looks at cathedrals and churches so if your not interested in this I wouldn’t recommend it. We also thought that trips to various places was included but found out we had to pay to do these things eg the gondola ride and trip to Burbano. Also when we went to the Vatican and St Peter’s Basilica we thought entry to the Basilica included but found out on the day it wasn’t and we would need to line up after the museum tour and buy the tickets . The lines were very long so this wasn’t an option and the tour finished in the Vatican square and we had to make our own way out of it , not an easy task . Overall the tour was fun and we did enjoy it but don’t think we would do it again.
Response from the operator: Thank you for sharing your detailed feedback about our 8-Day Best of Italy tour. We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the overall experience and had fun discovering Italy with us. It’s true that Italy’s history has been deeply shaped by the Catholic Church, and so much of our artistic and cultural heritage — from breathtaking cathedrals to world-renowned masterpieces — reflects this influence. For many travelers, visiting these iconic sites is a highlight of their journey through Italy. Regarding optional activities such as the gondola ride in Venice or excursions like Burano, as well as specific entries such as St. Peter’s Basilica, our booking platforms clearly list what is included in the tour and what is offered as an optional experience, so guests may choose how to enrich their itinerary. This said, we truly value your input and are delighted you enjoyed your time exploring Italy with us. Thanks for your four stars! We hope the memories of Rome, Florence, and Venice will stay with you for years to come. 🇮🇹✨ Best regards, Gray Line I Love Rome

12 day bus tour with Insight Vacations -Best of Italy (Rome, Florence, Venice, Assisi, Sorrento)
We booked a 12-day bus tour through Italy with Insight Vacations. This 12-day trip included overnights in Rome, Venice, Florence, Assisi (1 night), and Sorrento. We appreciated visiting many historic sites with knowledgeable tour guides who navigated the crowds, which enhanced the experience (Vatican, St.Peter's Basilica, the catacombs, the Colosseum, Pantheon, Pompei, and the island of Capri). A bus tour is a great way to travel if you value efficiency in seeing many sites. All transportation, some meals, and admission fees into the sites visited are included in the overall price. For us, this trip was perfect as we didn't have to worry about carrying luggage, navigating the trains, or the long lines for admission to some sites. Note that this kind of trip is "on the go" as you are usually spending 2 nights in each location. Most days begin at 7 am, and you should expect a fair amount of walking (3 - 6 miles per day) and more, if you decide not to take cabs during your free time. We enjoyed getting in our steps, considering we needed to burn calories! Most hotels were located within 1 mile of city centers. I would rate the included meals as good to excellent, and the rooms are acceptable, 3 to 4 stars, and two of them include pools, which was a welcome. We found rooms in Rome/Venice to be somewhat dated and small. This time of year is very hot, and I would recommend going in fall or spring if your schedule allows!
Response from the operator: Dear Elizabeth, thank you for taking the time to share such a thoughtful review! 🌟 Your words beautifully reflect what it means to experience Italy on a multi-day journey: waking up in Rome, strolling through the alleys of Venice, standing in awe before Florence’s treasures, pausing in the quiet of Assisi, and feeling the sea breeze in Sorrento and Capri. Each stop becomes a rhythm in the symphony of travel — guided by experts who bring history to life and supported by the comfort of knowing that every detail, from luggage handling to entrance tickets, has already been taken care of. You’re absolutely right — these tours are “on the go,” with early mornings, busy days, and plenty of walking. Yet that very pace allows travelers to see and feel so much of Italy in a short time, turning miles into memories and footsteps into stories. This is exactly the spirit of our Fantasia tours: curated itineraries that balance efficiency with discovery, the famous with the unexpected, while letting you simply enjoy the journey. Thank you for entrusting us with your Italian adventure — we would be honored to welcome you again, perhaps in the cooler months of spring or autumn, for another chapter in your Italian story. Sincerely, Gray Line I Love Rome

Why this scores 50
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
8-Days Best of Italy Trip from Rome with Florence and Venice: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Rome.
How much does 8-Days Best of Italy Trip from Rome with Florence and Venice cost?
+
Prices start at $1506 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Rome usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does 8-Days Best of Italy Trip from Rome with Florence and Venice take?
+
Plan for about 192 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Rome is not rushed.
Is 8-Days Best of Italy Trip from Rome with Florence and Venice worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 50 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4/5 across 74 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable culture & history in Rome, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 8-Days Best of Italy Trip from Rome with Florence and Venice?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is 8-Days Best of Italy Trip from Rome with Florence and Venice suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 192-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book 8-Days Best of Italy Trip from Rome with Florence and Venice?
+
Around 26 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Rome can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Rome and add a light layer if any part of the 192-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 8-Days Best of Italy Trip from Rome with Florence and Venice start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Rome within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Rome?
+
Rome runs on skip-the-line access. The Colosseum underground, the Vatican before opening, and the catacombs south of the walls all require a licensed operator, and the price gap between the good ones and the rest is smaller than you would expect. We rank by guide credentials, group size and how reliably the promised access actually materialises. On Outty we rank every Rome experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Rome Pasta and Tiramisu Class: Ravioli, Fettuccine & Fine Wine 5*, Pasta Making & Wine Tasting with Dinner in Frascati from Rome, Rome: Pizza & Tiramisu or Gelato Class with Flowing Fine Wine 5*. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Rome?
+
April, May, September and October. August is hot and half the city is shut. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Rome?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
