Italy Made Easy on an Escorted Tour by Train

These guided tour put together by Echo Rails enables the best of Italy to be experienced by train without the need to be concerned about rail travel fundamentals, such as, How will I find the right train, or Have I bought the right ticket?
It's also made as easy as can be, by avoiding the need to heave luggage on and off the trains and finding the hotels by the stations.

How this happens, is that you will be part of a small group of fellow travellers which will be escorted on every step of the journeys.
You will be guided to and from the stations, taken on the trains on which you will travel in 1st class and occupy reserved seats whenever available, plus the presence of the guide will ensure you won't miss the highlights of every journey.

While you are being whizzed across the Italian landscape will be conveyed to the next overnight stay in especially selected hotels.
