Tour companies
 
Anyone familiar with Odysseys-unlimited tours?
They provide small group travel.
We are 2 senior citizen women wanting to travel to Italy next year. Looking for a small group tour company. no more then 25 persons per group.

Thanks.

It's customary to give a link to the tour you're considering to make things easy for responders. Even if no one on this board has done the tour it is possible to give general feedback to give you things to think about. Most people who post here travel independently.

I looked at 3 of Odyssey's Italy tours and find that they would be too fast-paced for me. There's a lot of moving around and not much time in major cities.

The only tour company I've used that would travel to Italy is Grand Circle Travel. Their groups are 32 to 38 people so not overly large. I just got back from a 12 day Sicily tour with them which was very very good. I've also gone with this company to Croatia and Malta. This is a leisurely travel company that has limited hotel changes and excellent guides.

Good friends have been on Odyssey tours to Peru, Southern Africa, Eastern Europe and Morocco. They have nothing but good things to say about their experiences with Odyssey.
