Got ourselves a 7-day Global Pass and travelled through 5 countries. Buying the pass was easy but how to use the app for activating the pass will need some time to learn. However, fear not as there are many experienced people out willing to share. Do some readings and join some fb travel groups and you will surprised by the information available. The pass was flexible but the train schedule can be unpredictable which means you need to be updated requently to stay on course of your journey. We only experienced one hicccup on one of the trips at Berlin due to seat reservation issue and missing the connecting train due to delay of the first train. The other trips were as planned.

The Trenitalia Pass was simple to use and it’s suitable for first time tourist to use. However, it’s a little bit expensive, but for the convenience sake. Do note that you will need to plan your route and journey in advance so that you can reserve your seats.

Trip is excellent and convenient. We went to Siena, San Gimignano, Vineyard and Pisa. Thoses towns are so beautiful. Vineyard came with lunch and wine tasting. Totally recommended! Pisa is nice but we didn’t have much time to explore much. Be prepare that they don’t have much toilets. We had to go to cafe and purchased drinks. Public toilets are not available much.

The line to enter the church was very long, and the Italian tour guide had a very strong accent. If you're a native Mandarin speaker, you'll need to pay close attention to understand the explanations 😇. However, being able to skip the long line in the Italian heat and enter directly is worth the price of admission! I highly recommend this tour.

This tour is perfect for those staying in Florence who want to visit the surrounding towns. The itinerary for the day is as follows: 7:20 AM Meet at the Florence SMN train station – Pisa (1 hour) – Winery near San Gimignano (Lunch + 3 wine tastings) – San Gimignano (1 hour) – Siena (1 hour) – 7:30 PM Return to SMN train station. The whole trip is quite compact, with only about 1 hour in each location. If you want to explore properly, the time is not really enough. However, its strength is its convenience, as you travel by bus and it's not tiring, so it's still very suitable. The tour guide, Barbara, is very friendly and responsible. I recommend this tour! (The entire tour is explained in English).

The Tuscany day trip was amazing! The itinerary was well planned, covering Siena, San Gimignano, and Pisa all in one day. The guide was knowledgeable, the views were beautiful, and the lunch was authentic and delicious. Highly recommended!

This Cinque Terre trip was very worthwhile! I visited the four villages of Riomaggiore ➡️ Manarola ➡️ Monterosso ➡️ Vernazza. The scenery was beautiful, and the colorful houses with the sea view were so healing. The itinerary was well-arranged and not too rushed (I personally think it would be better to spend an extra half hour in Manarola), and there was enough time for taking photos and walking around. The tour guide was very friendly, and the transportation was arranged smoothly, saving a lot of trouble by not having to transfer myself. If this is your first time visiting Cinque Terre, I highly recommend this trip. I suggest wearing comfortable shoes and leaving early. Overall, it was a great experience!

Went to 4 villages - Riomaggiore-Manarola-Vernazza- Monterosso , no boat ride due to sea condition. Benefit of the tour guide is that we are told a specific time to gather at the train station to hop to the next village.

Tips before visiting Florence in Italy
1. Plan your visit around museum schedules
Major art museums like the Uffizi and Accademia are closed on Mondays. Buy tickets online to skip queues, and consider visiting early in the morning or late afternoon to avoid crowds.
You can also book a convenient Uffizi and Accademia tour through Klook to explore both museums in one day!

You can take Florence day trips to nearby towns like San Gimignano, Pisa’s Leaning Tower, or the Tuscan hills. High-speed trains and tours make it easy to explore beyond the city center.

Don’t miss San Lorenzo Market for souvenirs and Tuscan dishes. Join a food tour or take a cooking class to enjoy Tuscan cuisine like ribollita, tagliatelle, and local wine.
