Hi Jackie,
Thank you for your review.
I'm glad to hear that you had such an enjoyable holiday to Tuscany and found this to be such a well led tour. It is great to see you had the added bonus of pleasant weather!
We hope to welcome you on tour with us again soon.
Best wishes,

Cities visited terrific. Tour Manager excellent. Turin Hotel in Fiat Factory iconic. A lovely group of people to meet and share experiences with. Some problems with Trains so journey home was quite stressful. Why do people bring large suitcases which are difficult to get on and off trains ? Why go along south coast of France southwards on a coach when we were needing to travel North ? Seemed to be just filling a day with extra travel for no gain to the guests.

Excellent trip, but carrying luggage was hard work on the numerous trains, whilst Siena, Pisa and Lucca were amazing Florence was disappointing

Hi Raymond,
Thank you for your review.
I'm glad to hear that you had such an enjoyable holiday and got to see some truly breathtaking architecture. I visited this region last year and particularly enjoyed Lucca.
I understand your point about managing luggage, and I thought it'd be helpful to mention that we do work closely with a company called First Luggage to offer a door to door porterage service for those who need it (for a small additional fee)
I do hope that we can have the opportunity to welcome you on tour with us again soon.

There were some amazing moments on the holiday, we did feel the group of 37 was too big, our guide, Jane, was amazing but must have been hard work. Many had different mobility issues which made it difficult to keep up, especially in the massive crowds in Florence, it was difficult to focus on the moment as you were trying to plan your route through the huge crowds. The weather wasn’t brilliant but that’s something you can’t plan for . Our favorite place was not actually part of the tour, on a free day we caught a train to Pestoli, authentic Italy full of local families. The trains were all very good but we found the holiday very full on and tiring . Compared to the 1st and last hotel rooms the main hotel room was disappointing, not quite how it sounded on the website, there were no tea/coffee facilities in the room. You had to either sit outside on the street under cover or a run down patio area on the 2nd floor which was disappointing. In the main the hotel food was good and the staff friendly. It’s a shame there wasn’t an extra night in St Raphael,lovely hotel, room and fabulous location. We made some new friends but would not go on a holiday like this again. We ticked a few boxes and it has given the confidence to our on thing in the future.

First hotel and last hotel are very good. However, the main hotel is poor and for this reason I wouldn’t recommend this holiday. I had a tiny room painted a deep blue and not even a chair to sit on!!! V disappointing.

Fantastic experience. The Tour Manager Judy Mahon was a real star, her organisational skills and interaction with members of the group was second to none. The downside: no tea making facility at Colombia Hotel. No duvets in beds despite cold evenings, no lifts in train stations.

Hi Bushra,

I'm glad to hear that you felt this was a fantastic experience overall and that Judy was able to really enhance your holiday. I'm sorry to hear that you felt there were a few issues with the Colombia Hotel, your comments will be forwarded on to our Product Team for review.

A great introduction to Tuscany. Walking tours of Florence and Sienna followed by time to explore for yourself, plus visits to Lucca and Pisa. The rail tour is based at the pleasant spa town of Montecatini. It includes two free days to explore as you wish, or just have a rest. Italian trains can be crowded and prone to delays, stations poorly signed and you may need help to use the ticket machines. The tour manager keeps everyone informed of travel arrangements and can advise on what to do.

I thoroughly enjoyed our tour but I didn’t really like the hotel in Montecatini. Reception staff were not very friendly. Restaurant staff, however, were very pleasant and helpful. Our tour representative was first class and expertly guided us seamlessly through everything. A big thank you to her.

Wonderful well organised holiday, Gave a true taste of Tuscany and time to revit Florence or do your own exploring. Train travel very comfotable, A tip - pack light as getting on and off trains with large suitcases not always easy.
Risposta di Great Rail Journeys
Hi Roberta,
Thank you for your review and for the beautiful photos of Florence!
I'm glad to hear that your Simply Tuscany holiday was so well organised and that you found the rail travel to be a comfortable experience. I would agree with your tip regarding packing light!
Best wishes,

Enjoyed sunny days and beautiful churches and getting to know some interesting people. Highlight was the 3 Tenors opera evening in the ancient spa in Montecatini. Some of the tours were too rushed and the train journeys were long and sometimes late. Would have liked more time to relax. Would have been nice to have 36 hours on the French Riviera rather than 16.

Great holiday. Fantastic sites and guides, great hotels, superb food. Our tour guide was a lovely lady, very knowledgeable and always available. I was one of a few solo travellers, she made sure we never ate alone, she made time for everyone.
