Although I haven’t done a tour before I’m in the "plan your own" camp.
I have a friend who does an Intrepid tour every year & more often than not he comes back with stories about a couple of annoying types in the group that sort of spoil it for everyone & also the amount of travelling.
He normally stops in Thailand or somewhere similar for a holiday to get over the holiday.
When we went on our European honeymoon for a month we went to a travel agent who was very well travelled in Europe & she gave us great advice about how long to spend in each city & where to stay given our budget.
It was amazing
(I love Italy too )
