Reviews

Met some great people, made new friends, and enjoyed some authentic Italian food & wine, but be prepared on the wine if your preference is the sweet varieties as you won't find them in Italy. Hotels were great choices and every restaurant chosen by our tour organizer was a proven winner. Tour guides in the city walked a little too fast for me so be in shape before your trip. Would've preferred less time at wineries and more time seeing the sights, but overall an awesome trip. Would visit Italy again if more time in Florence.
By Mark D for 2024 Tuscany Wine Tour on Oct 21, 2024
I had a great time! The tour was well organized. The accommodations were wonderful, especially in Tuscany. The wine tasting tours and lunches were amazing! The cultural visits were well done too! (Tuscany towns and Florence). The guides were very knowledgeable and passionate about Italian history and culture. Well done!

Amazing trip, amazing tour guides, what a great trip we will remember forever
By Nancy T for Official Sabres-NHL Global Series (TM) Fan Tour (Premium Plus) on Oct 16, 2024
It was a great trip for us. The accommodations were well located in both Munich and Prague. while we were busy not overly stressed as the itinerary was well laid out. The tour staff was very friendly and informative, real down to earth folks. We really enjoyed the trip and would recommend Victory to anyone we talk to. Hope we have an opportunity to do another Trip.

We had a great time. James, Earl, Peter and Jouni were great and took great care of us. The excursions were well planned and fun-especially the Octoberfest and the Holy Mountain tour. We met some great people and hopefully we will continue to be in touch. I would highly recommend Victory Travel.

Wow, just…WOW! We traveled with Victory for the NHL global series in Sweden and Finland last fall. I cannot say enough about how organized and entertaining this was due to James and the gang at Victory. We typically like to travel on our own and avoid the “herding mentality” of tour groups. However, It was so well planned that we got to enjoy the group-events and have plenty of free time to explore on our own. I 100% recommend using Victory!
