Itinerary
Day 1: Munich
Day 2: Munich/Innsbruck
Day 3: Innsbruck/Venice
Day 4: Venice
The main city is small enough that you can walk it in several hours with the added bonus of getting those steps in. Explore the canals, relax in the small squares, and go cafe-hopping for coffee, pastries, wine, or all three, because why not? See Venice from the water on a gondola ride through the canals, run through the pigeons or people watch in St. Mark's Square, take an elevator ride up to the top of the Campanile Di San Marco for panoramic views of the city below. Your only real job today is to have a blast!!
Day 5: Venice/Florence
This evening happens to be perfect if you are looking to relax, eat some more (if you can), or recover from those food comas in your hostel before a quick highlight tour of the city.
Day 6: Florence
Day 7: Florence/Rome
The night is yours! Did someone say dance party?
Day 8: Rome

I think overall everything was wonderful. I do think it would depend how they'd like to travel in terms of groups etc.

G Adventures is my only experience so far in this type of travel and I enjoyed it

The itinerary and planning was good. The CEO was good. But there were many other issues I faced. Your team can give me a call and I can explain it in detail there. Thanks.

Have time to explore the cities on your own. All the travel is organised by another person. You have always people around who support you when you need it and who give you tips
10/10/2023
Because it depends on the person

Itinerary was perfect for me and Andrei was an amazing leader
09/12/2023
Had an amazing time. It was well organised and a lot of fun. But I would have liked to stay an extra day in most places.
08/29/2023
The entire group that I was travelling with and the group leader Andrei were all amazing people, sharing the experience with them made it all the more enjoyable.

Was the best and easiest away to ?solo? travel without being alone ever!

I think this trip had too many people on it (23). If it were a smaller trip, I think it would have been more manageable. At the same time, I understand that this might be the most cost effective way to do things as a company. I wasn't super impressed with my experience leading up to the trip with the website and app. They crashed regularly and/or wouldn't let me log in, a payment was messed up for awhile and the website wouldn't load what I needed sometimes. I did like how it was fairly straightforward and simple as far as just the information we needed to know. Overall though, the trip was what I expected it to be and I had a good time!

Roamies is the perfect option for those wishing to travel and stay in hostels, especially for the first time, because not only does it lower the cost of the trip, but it's a good introduction because everything is already planned for you and you stay in rooms with fellow group members, instead of strangers. This way, one gets the feel for what staying in a hostel is like without having to experience it for the first time with complete strangers.
08/01/2023
Some Hostels (Innsbruck, Rom) not so good. Only for people who like to stay in hostels

I will add a general comment at the end
07/18/2023
As much as I appreciated the freedom to do whatever, I think having some planned events is nice to have too. Or at least a planned walk to places in the various cities like popular busting areas or local events/festivals that are currently going on in those cities. This is why I liked Venice a lot: we joined in a local festival that donates money to charity.

Good experience, but this style is not for everyone.
07/18/2023
Really good first way to solo travel. The whole experience though just depends on the people in your group. I could see how an introvert surrounded by extroverts could get overwhelmed
07/04/2023
Try experience wasn't perfect. However booking through a tour group makes traveling very convenient
Family trips cannot be booked online.
Please contact webjet customer service to book the trip.
