Vacation

Tips for the driver and guide weren't included in the tour price, so I handed those over day by day, though I can't recall the exact amount now. Having a guide along the whole route meant I didn't have to worry about the logistics myself.

The fall colors were beautiful, and the Agawa Canyon train was the highlight for me. The ticket was an extra cost, but seeing Black Beaver Falls and Bridal Veil Falls made it worthwhile.

The city entrance fees and overnight taxes were collected up front, and the guide and driver service fee was paid separately on the road. It was all spelled out in the itinerary, so nothing caught me off guard.

Covering Rome by Segway was much easier than walking. In 3.5 hours we saw Piazza del Popolo, the Trevi Fountain, and the Pantheon. The 30-minute training before departure helped me get the hang of it quickly, even as a first-timer.

The mushroom-like houses in Alberobello really looked like something out of a fairy tale, and I wandered around them for a long while. Ostuni, the white town, was quiet too, and having both on the same day felt just right.

Overall the tour was a wonderful experience, very well organised and truly enjoyable! Everything went smoothly and I really enjoyed exploring the different places. A special thanks to our tour guide Mr. Alan, who was incredibly kind,helpful, friendly, and professional throughout the trip. He made sure everyone felt comfortable and helped make the whole experience even more memorable. It was a pleasure to have him as our guide. Thank youAlan, for your excellent service and for making this tour so special! I would definitely love to join another tour with you as our guide in the future. Highly recommended! 😊👏

This route links the main cities of several eastern provinces, and ten days covered quite a lot. The drives were long, but stops like the Hartland Covered Bridge and the world's largest lobster statue kept things from getting dull.

The five nights of hotels were included in the tour price, and even though we changed towns most days, my luggage stayed with the coach so I barely had to think about it. Breakfast was included one morning and I sorted out the rest myself, which I got used to.

The last day was mostly on the bus, and I glanced at the scenery passing through Albany. The ride back felt more tiring than the way there, probably because I was already worn out from the days before.
