Hello all,
For those who have taken early-summer tours (mid to late June into early July) to Italy (particularly Village Italy or Italy in 17) and Adriatic, what were crowds like? Were they overwhelmingly hectic and crowded, especially in places like Cinque Terre, Dubrovnik, etc. Early summer is the only chance I can really travel, and while I'm sure it's better than later in the summer, I'd hate for any of these places' charm to be lost to mass tourism. It won't 100% keep me away -- after all, early morning and late at night or good times to explore -- but I'm hoping for some less discovered spots on these tours.
