We have done 7 RS Tours - Best of Paris, Best of London, Best of Germany/Austria/Switzerland, Loire to the South of France, Village Italy, Best of Ireland 14 Days, and Best of Eastern France. Where to go next? Considering Villages of Southern England or Best of the Adriatic or Best of Sicily.

Villages of Southern England is a great trip. Would even consider doing it again.

I have been on those three tours and would suggest save Sicily for a (less costly) trip in the off season. Besides being a fabulous tour, Sicily still has nicer weather and fewer tourists than the other two itineraries in the early travel season. Between the other two, I'd say it depends on where you own travel interests lie. I loved both tours and would (and might!) repeat either of them. If you're leaning towards So. England, I suggest a Spring date as the gardens were all past their prime when we were there in September. And we did visit a lot of gardens-still nice but must have been spectacular in the spring. The Adriatic scenery is overall stunning, the (relatively) current history relevant and thought provoking and Ljubljana quickly became one of my favorite cities. I am returning there for a few days this fall after the end of the Eastern Europe tour. Read up on the stops on each itinerary, check out the activities included and choose whichever tickles your fancy most. If all still equally enticing, toss a coin and save the others for later.

Andi--- I must need more coffee, but I cannot envision how a coin toss ( or what kind of coin to use) would be helpful for making a decision among 3 choices

Well, I suppose it COULD stand on it's edge-somehow...actually, I was putting the Sicily tour aside for the winter and planning for them to choose between the other two. But then I guess I made an assumption there that they wanted to go on one soon. Ah...always reading into posts stuff that's not actually there...Good catch........

I wish I could help you - this is a problem for me too! So many good choices! Every time I research to narrow it down, I end up adding something new. We decided on Greece this time :) Good luck and happy dreaming!

I'd consider the climate, unless you are very flexible with dates.

We did the best of the Adriatic in 2014 and it was an incredible tour. I highly recommend it. We are looking forward to the Sicily tour in October, so I can't comment in that one yet.

Cindy26, so many wonderful choices! I can only comment on tours that I have experienced. From the fact that you chose Village Italy over other Italy tours, I figure you must especially like smaller towns, although you also chose the Paris and London city tours. Given this, I can enthusiastically recommend the RS Tours of Greece, Portugal, Sicily, and for a surprise, Bulgaria. Spain also, although it spends a lot of its time in the wonderful big cities of Barcelona, Madrid and Sevilla.
