I'm going on the London, Paris, Rome trip at the start of September

It's my first trip overseas so I'm very excited, but a lil nervous...

Any info from those who've taken this tour would be greatly appreciated!!!

When we're in Rome we essentially get to do our own thing the whole time right? How did that go for people?

How was the train ride from Paris to Rome?

Thanks!

I am also excited, but scared since is my first trip alone. Are you going alone?

And i have some questions to. 1) what unescorted means (we are going to be on our own in Rome??)?? 2) the train ride is nice?? or its kind of cripy? 3) in which hotels in rome and paris are we probablt staying?

Hope someone answers... Anyway, since i am going before you,i will keep you posted!!

Questions, questions, questions...

As far as I can tell unescorted means that someone will get us from the train station in Rome to our hotel...After that we are on our own...Although I'm sure the guide will be able to give us advice on what to see and do...

I think the only thing included is a pass for transit...So make sure you budget enough money for Rome as you'll have to pay for everything you want to see and do!
