My wife and I went on a Tuscany tour in November with Legendary Journeys tour company. DO NOT USE THEM.
Legendary Journeys advertises a cheap rate but then so many add-ons to make your head spin. For example, if you want to be at the same hotel as another couple, $49 per person; if you want to be on the same flight as another couple, $49 per person; hotels are generally 1 or 2 star tourist hotels but they "strongly recommend" upgrading at a cost of $150 and up.
The Legendary Journey hostesses on the tour were not friendly nor helpful but just wanted to sell more optional tours. The optional tours are totally non-refundable, too. In November, Italy had some heavy rain and flooding. Some tours were cancelled due to weather - no refund. At one ship port, the ship cancelled the port due to weather - no refund for those tours.
We did have a very nice hotel in Rome called Guilio Caesar. It was a small hotel located about 15 minute walk from St. Peters.
