Trip started in Rome with a day trip to Tivoli and Hadrian's Villa and a walking tour of the Coliseum and other sights, Private driver to Amalfi and on to Sorrento where we stayed. By train from Naples to Florence where we rented a car to tour Tuscany on our own (not arranged by Evaneos). By train from Florence to Venice. Walking tour first day. Boat trip to Murano and Burano was wonderful but a little more free time would have been good. By train to Milan with a walking tour. Day trips to Lake Como and Genoa/Portofino by bus arranged. I was travelling with sister and brother in law who had mostly the same itinerary but some additions. We booked our own accommodation.
I liked that everything was arranged ahead of time. I always knew the itinerary and didn't have to wonder when I would do what. It was great that the local agent contacted us the day before each planned outing to confirm the time, place and contact person. When we needed to we had no difficulty contacting the number given. Having a driver pick us up at our hotel was really great. For a walking tour the guide came to our hotel and started the tour from there, much better than trying to find a meeting place in a strange city. The day trip to Lake Como/Bellagio was a highlight for me. Lots of free time to wander after the guide told us of several options of things to see.
Due to a combination of me not really knowing how I would do, and therefore not being able to define my ability - I found there was too much walking involved in 3 of the private tours arranged. While I did make it through I would probably not book walking tours again.
Private driver from Rome to Sorrento (via Amalfi stops) did not seem competent and resulted in a somewhat unpleasant day. We notified our local agent who was glad for the feedback and apologized. In Venice, I think the guide got sidetracked with special interests rather than the overview tour we thought we would get. He therefore ran out of time and we missed out gondola connection. In kept repeating it was not his fault, implying it was our fault. The local guide arranged for a refund of that cost and we were able to plan a gondola ride on our own on another day fortunately.
