Itinerary

Day 1
Providence, RI

Head to Providence’s Little Italy, where the day’s activities will certainly make you feel as though the bus flew you across the ocean!


Join your tour guide for a behind-the-scenes tour of Providence’s Historic Federal Hill.  Your senses will be intoxicated with the flavors, smells, sounds, and sights of Italy.  You will see why Federal Hill is described as “One of the top ten Little Italy’s in America.” Enjoy a three-course lunch at Trattoria Zooma, specializing in classic Neopolitan dishes in the heart of Federal Hill.  Lunch begins with Caesar Salad and the choice of:  Eggplant Parmesan, or Chicken Piccata, or Baked Salmon.  All entrees come with Pasta or Vegetables, Dessert, Soft Drinks, and Coffee.


The Italian experience continues onboard an original Venetian Gondola, where you can view the historical sights of the Renaissance City from a truly unique vantage point.  Glide under the magnificent Italian-influenced bridges while observing the illustrious beauty surrounding the Riverwalk.  A little singing by the gondolier will complete the experience.


Sit along the Riverwalk listening to live music with an Italian flair.  The music, covered bridges, magnificent architecture, the food, and gondolas will certainly transport you to Italy.  In sitting along the Riverwalk, some benches are provided.  If you would like to bring a chair to sit in while listening to music, you are more than welcome to do so.

Terrible the trip was cancelled twice. However, glad we were not in Ashville due to the place being GONE because of the hurricane.

Sorry to hear about your experience MaryAnn. We are not sure why you never going on a trip has impact on your feedback. We cannot run a trip if there are not enough participants. Hurricane Helene would have made it all but impossible to trip as advertised. Best of luck in your future travels!

We had a great time. Although it was exhausting, we met wonderful people and dined on good meals. The Vatican and coliseum were too much a load in one day, but were a fabulous experience.

Thank you for sharing your feedback Bill! We appreciate hearing about your experience in Rome and is something we can look at altering for future trips.

We had a good time overall, but have a few issues that would prevent us from taking another TofD trip. We asked, early on, for accommodations in our hotel rooms- namely, walk in shower, grab bars and shower seat. There was not one hotel that arranged for all of those and some that gave none. It made for an exhausting trip trying to shower and dress in an unsafe environment. We enjoyed the itinerary and the group but this one situation truly put an overall damper on our trip.

Thank you for sharing your feedback Donna. You clearly outlined that you required a walk-on shower, etc. We understand the importance of such a request. Hotels only have a limited amount of rooms that are ADA compliant and we cannot guarantee that each and every hotel will have enough rooms to accommodate each request. We are glad you enjoyed the trip and your fellow travelers. We hope that we have the opportunity to see you again on a future trip.

Our overall experience was positive. Brian, local tour guide for Nova Scotia, was great: full of historic and current information of the Province. Nice touch that he included personal experiences of the province, We did find the tour schedule jammed packed and we would have preferred more free time. An example of when/where this could have happened was on Prince Edward Island, day 6 of the tour, we spent 2 full hours at a jam/preserve store which was way too long. We hoped local tour guide, Larry, would have been able to intervene. He did not. The sailing ship ride out of Halifax, over two hours, was a poor substitute for the Tatoo performance. This was a party boat with no commentary as to what we were seeing. Those two hours of free time would have been appreciated. Our tours of Distinction guide, Kim, did the best she could as this was her own intrduction to this Nova Scotia/PEI tour. Thankss you. Julie Thomas and Laura Eakin (companion travelers)
