Alpine Pastures: Trentino Traveller Reviews

Wonderful introduction to a new part of Italy. Great wines, excellent meals, interesting selection of churches and museums to visit. In the Museum in Trento, the most beautiful tapestries I have ever seen were on display . Surprising to see green hillsides covered with apple orchards as well as vines as we drove around the countryside. Both centres were interesting but different, hotels likewise. The Grand Hotel in Bolzano was a step back to the grandeur of the fin de siecle style. I loved it! and 5 different types of croissant on the breakfast buffet! what a treat! Our guide was very knowledgeable and informative, and the group blended well. Some of us took the chance to see the Iceman - in the specially created Oetzi Museum (in Bolzano). Well laid out exhibition, and fascinating to realise the amount of research that had gone into, and was continuing, to discover the secrets of life 5,000 years ago.

Faultless organisation and efficiency. Have already booked a tour with them in 2019.

The trip was extremely well put together and well organised. The program was original and suitable for all ages and interests.

Delightful and most helpful

A very well balanced small group tour, covering art, architecture, history,scenery and within the compass of excellent Hotels,food and wine. We particularly appreciated the Ciceroni audio guides which also cater for the hard of hearing. We particularly took this tour as it was led by a very competent and erudite Tour Director, with whom we had travelled before.

Ciceroni Travel are everything we look for in a cultural holiday: very good and helpful office staff and administration; small groups, intelligent well paced itinerary, always a good standard of hotel and the opportunity to dine in specially chosen restaurants. Very well qualified tour directors/lecturers and hand-picked local guides.
