Custom Trip to Italy 2023

Dear Stefania, Our time in Italy was fascinating with your help. We had a great time and were able to enjoy all Italy had to offer with the easy navigation. We are truly spoiled with all the service we had from the tours and drivers you arranged. The chef in Tuscany was so inviting and took such good care of us... We had a great day learning so much, not just about cooking but about the area, the farming and the Italian lifestyle. The boys were just thrilled with the experience. Rome was fascinating with all the history and we absolutely loved the hotel and the rooftop patio. The tours in Rome were so helpful to teach us the history. The travel to Positano was easy as the driver had all the work to do while we enjoyed the views and became familiar with the area. We had great weather and enjoyed the beach, hiking and shopping while we explored the area. Thank you for planning such a great trip. We very much enjoyed our time in Italy and cannot wait to go back. Sincerely, Bob and Evelyn V. Columbus, OH

We've returned, Enrico, and before I get mired in several hundred emails in my inbox, I want to offer my compliments and thanks for what you arranged for us. Villa I Barronci was simply lovely -- such a peaceful, relaxing, comfortable place in a delightful setting. The Maalot was a magnificent place. We thought it was perfectly located as well. The staff was friendly and helpful. So thanks for your arrangements and assistance with our questions and preferences. All in all, we view this as having been a really wonderful vacation. Ray C. Arlington, VA

Custom Italy Honeymoon Trip

Stefania - George and I returned last night from our trip of a lifetime! I keep telling people that it felt like a dream. So with laundry and luggage on the floor, I wanted to stop and send you this message! That tells you just how much we enjoyed our trip. Every detail, every transfer, restaurant recommendation, etc. was spot on. We could not have asked for better insight or a better planned trip. The tours.... oh the tours... were fantasic. We learned so much and while we expected the guides to be nice, we were not prepared for just how thorough and nice they would be. Not to mention funny! We enjoyed them as much as we did the sights that they led us through. The hotels were amazing as well. The rooms were great, but their locations were exactly where we needed to be to have the trip we sought after. But I must say that when we stepped onto the property at Hotel Caruso, I felt like we had stepped into a postcard. The flowers and the views were breathtaking. We spent a lot of time just trying to take it all in. There are no words that I can type, and even with a minor dissertation I couldn't cover it all. I have uploaded over 700 pictures and came home 8 pounds heavier! And this morning I went to the Italian grocer/importer to get my fresh mozzarella. I can't even eat food the way I used to. You planned a trip and anniversary celebration that can never be topped. We thank you!! Susan & George M. Charlotte North Caroline

When it comes to luxury travel, Italy Luxury Tours stands out for a number of reasons. Here are just a few:

Our team of expert guides is passionate about sharing their knowledge and love of Italy with our clients. With years of experience and an intimate understanding of Italian culture and history, our guides are the perfect companions for exploring Italy’s most iconic destinations.

Authentic Experiences

At Italy Luxury Tours, we believe that the best way to experience Italy is by immersing yourself in its rich culture and traditions. That’s why we offer a range of authentic experiences that allow you to connect with the local people, cuisine, and way of life. From cooking classes and wine tastings to guided tours of ancient ruins and art museums, our tours offer a truly authentic Italian experience.

Italy is home to some of the world’s most diverse and beautiful landscapes. 58 UNESCO World Heritage Sites ,  picturesque medieval towns, crystal-clear Mediterranean waters, and world-famous cuisine all come together in this small boot-shaped country

Italy’s importance in the art world cannot be overstated either, as it is renowned for its role in the Renaissance era. Today, the works of artists like Leonardo Da Vinci and Michelangelo are readily on display.

For the chance to see all that the country has to offer, Zitango’s Italy Specialists have compiled a list of the most popular places to visit on your luxury tour of Italy.

Ancient Romans referred to Rome as the “Eternal City” because they believed it would last forever. Roman history, monuments, ruins, archaeology, religious practices, art, and cuisine transport you back to the city’s golden age. Go on a private tour of Italy’s Roman treasures, from the Colosseum to the Pantheon, to explore what life was like in Roman society.

Visit the Vatican and explore the historic heart of Christendom. Admire Michelangelo’s magnificent Renaissance frescoes as you make your way around the Sistine Chapel.

At the Trevi Fountain, post your Instagram picture and toss a coin with your right arm over your left shoulder to ensure your return to the Eternal City.

Mark Twain once said, “The Creator made Italy from the design of Michelangelo.” This is unsurprising as Florence is home to the Renaissance’s most influential thinkers.

Florence is a great place for art lovers and is filled with art and culture. See the world-famous David of Michelangelo and visit the Uffizi Gallery to view some of the world’s finest works on a luxury trip to Italy.

Venice is a beloved luxury Italy vacation spot among both dreamers and romantics alike. Head to St Mark’s Square, explore the neighboring Doge’s Palace, and listen to the stories of the unfortunate Venetians who crossed the Bridge of Sighs. Glide through the canals of Venice on a gondola while you marvel at the palazzi and cathedrals that line its banks.

A visit to Venice is never complete without a cruise around its lagoon to see the beautiful islands of Murano and Burano.

AMALFI COAST

Approximately 5 million tourists visit this scenic 34-mile coast each year to enjoy its beautiful beaches, culture, and cuisine. Take a scenic drive along the Amalfi Coast towards the picturesque small town of Positano perched on its cliffs. Or, escape the crowds by visiting the charming Ravello. Stroll the alleyways and admire the architecture and piazzas.

Explore the tastes and scents of the Amalfi Coast on a culinary tour . Learn how to prepare some of the typical dishes with locals. Visit centuries-old vineyards and witness the production of Tramonti red and white wines on a wine-tasting tour.

The climate varies considerably from the north to the south of Italy. In the country’s north, the climate is harsh, with bitterly cold winters and very hot, particularly humid summers. In central Italy the climate is milder, with a smaller difference in temperature between summer and winter and a shorter and less intense cold season than in the north. Summers are also longer. In southern Italy and the island winters are never particularly harsh; spring and fall temperatures are pleasantly warm, and dry summer days can reach as high as 104ºF.

May through August is the peak season for vacations in Italy. Alternatively, March, April, and September to November are cooler and less crowded. These times have lovely, mild weather perfect for sightseeing.

Testimonials

“The trip was a 10 out of 10”

The trip was a 10 out of 10. Italy4Real’s recommendations, insights and knowledge of the area were invaluable in planning the trip

- The King Family - 2023

“Happy is an understatement!”

Thanks to Italy4Real's help, 17 people were happy with the trip plans. We were front of the line for the sites we wanted to see and got hard to get tickets. Transportation that was arranged always arrived on time. I cannot say enough about our satisfaction with the arrangements

- John - 2023

“Thank you so much for what Italy4Real added to our trip!”

Starting with the driver that picked us up at the airport. He was fabulous. We had a bit of a language barrier but we managed to have a great conversation with him and he went out of his way to take us to a wonderful outlook of Rome, where he took pictures of my daughters and I. Unexpected, but much appreciated.

Our guides Francesca (Antiquities) and Simone (Vatican) were fantastic as well. I’m sure it’s their job to do so, but we felt like they really wanted our experience to be special, and it was. Francesca delivered our rail tickets to us which turned out to be for 2nd class not the 1st class on our itinerary. We managed to get seats together so not a problem. We wanted to cab back to our hotel and she insisted on walking us to where we could hail a cab and got us safely in the cab before she left us. She went way beyond what I would have expected.

Our driver was on time to take us to the rail station and was personable and professional.

Thank you again for a great addition to our trip.

Luxury Highlights

No matter where you travel to in Italy you’re sure to experience the richness of culture, history and the delicacy of Italian cuisine. You may find yourself aimlessly walking the halls of the Vatican in Rome and being utterly fascinated by the beauty and craft of the Sistine Chapel. Or perhaps you treat yourself to the remarkable food and scenery of Tuscany. Imagine the robust, bold flavors of wild boar over fresh pappardelle pasta followed by a sip of ruby-red Chianti, all the while overlooking the orange glowing sky setting beyond the infamous rolling hills of Tuscany.

You can’t visit Italy on a luxurious vacation, without taking a trip to the second-largest city, Milan. Milan is known for everything high-fashion and haute-couture. Not only will you find name-brand collections from designers such as Gucci, but you can also indulge in one of the worlds most renowned opera houses- La Scala. A trip to Milan is a must to see the capital of indulgence in Italy. For a slower paced environment that still maintains a lavish vacation, A trip to Venice is the perfect escape. Take a tour to Murano from the “the floating city” where you can shop for fine glass that is hand-blown in the neighboring island,. Or pick up some of the handmade lace from Burano, a colorful island, just a short boat ride away via water taxi from Venice.

Milan Tours

A holiday to Florence is ideal for the artist, the foodie and the shopper alike. Sniff your way through the leather market and take home a piece of Florentine leather that’ll last you a lifetime. Or visit one of the many museums such as The Uffizi and see art such as The Birth of Venus by Botticelli. There are endless options to pleasing your palate in Florence. Have an Aperol spritz to start at The Westin Excelsior that offers a stunning view of the river, and then indulge in the famous Bistecca alla Fiorentina (steak) dinner that Florence is known for. Luxury is around every corner, especially in Florence.

Florence Tours

Why Go Anywhere Other Than Italy for your Luxury Escape?

It is a country that encapsulates luxury; from the local art being sold in the piazza (square) to a gondola ride in Venice through the canals, you’re guaranteed to have a luxurious trip when you travel to Italy. Indulge your palate, enjoy a private walking tour of Venice, purchase a fabulous new piece of jewelry or simply take in the luxurious environment around you.

Benefits of Using Zicasso

More Italy Tours by Travel Style

We recommend visiting the most iconic and historic cities on trips to Italy in 2024. Rome, Florence, and Venice are an excellent introduction to the old-world charm and romantic ambiance.

• Rome : As the capital and largest city in Italy, Rome offers an incredible mix of iconic ancient ruins, historic sites, museums, architecture, food, and culture. Rome is also very easy to get around, with a compact city center that allows you to see many of the main attractions on foot in just a few days.
• Florence : Florence is considered the birthplace of the Renaissance and is packed with beautiful works of art and architecture to discover around every corner, from the Duomo Cathedral to Michelangelo’s iconic David . With walkable cobblestone lanes along the Arno River, Florence offers a charming, quintessential Italian atmosphere that makes it easy to immerse yourself in culture, cuisine, wine, shopping, and history.
• Venice : With its intricate network of winding canals and alleyways, iconic gondolas, Gothic and Renaissance architecture, and lively Piazza San Marco, Venice offers enchanting Italian tours in 2024. Exploring Venice's car-free streets, getting delightfully lost among the bridges and waterways, and soaking in centuries of art, culture, and history makes for an unforgettable, bucket-list trip to Italy.

Beyond the classic cities, consider exploring the picturesque Tuscan countryside, coastal villages along Cinque Terre and the Amalfi Coast, and the island charms of Sicily, a few of the best places to visit in Italy in 2024.

• Tuscany : With its postcard-perfect rolling hills, vineyards, medieval towns, and bountiful food and wine scene, Tuscany lets travelers sample the relaxed Italian countryside lifestyle at its best. From exploring Renaissance gems like Pisa and Lucca to wandering the Chianti Winelands, Tuscany has no shortage of stunning landscapes, mouthwatering cuisine, and charming villages to lose yourself in.
• Cinque Terre : Cinque Terre’s famous string of five colorful cliffside villages along the Mediterranean coastline offers some of Italy’s most breathtaking natural beauty, linked by scenic hiking trails. Cinque Terre gives visitors a quintessential taste of Italy's irresistible coastal charm in a uniquely picturesque setting.
• Amalfi Coast : With its towering cliffs plummeting into the sparkling Mediterranean, pastel-colored fishing villages, endless lemon groves, and postcard-perfect vistas around every turn, the jaw-dropping Amalfi Coast beckons travelers to indulge in Italy at its most stunning. Explore the coastal hamlets like Positano and Ravello, and soak up the glamorous atmosphere that makes the Amalfi Coast a memorable Italian escape.
• Sicily : As the largest island in the Mediterranean and with a culture all its own, Sicily gives visitors a taste of ancient history infused with Mediterranean flavors and island beauty. With Greek and Roman ruins dotting vibrant cities like Palermo and Catania, along with Mount Etna’s volcanic landscapes, sparkling beaches, delicious cuisine, and charming seaside villages, Sicily beckons with the chance to soak up a one-of-a-kind slice of Italian lifestyle.

If you're visiting Italy, this exciting country offers endless possibilities for creating memorable moments. From tours of ancient sites to gliding Venetian canals, here are the top experiences for Italy trips in 2024:

• Visit the breathtaking St. Peter's Basilica and discover the Vatican Museums.
• Tour the historic Colosseum and let your imagination run wild, picturing the gladiator battles once held there.
• Cruise Venice’s Grand Canal by gondola to admire the Doge’s Palace and Rialto Bridge.
• See Michelangelo’s renowned statue of David and other Renaissance masterpieces at the Galleria dell'Accademia museum in Florence.
• Learn traditional culinary techniques during an immersive pasta-making class in Rome or a pizza-making demonstration in Naples.
• Sample flavorful wines and olive oils at a working vineyard or farm in the rolling hills of Tuscany.
• Wander through the ruins of ancient Pompeii for a glimpse into daily life during Roman times.
• Visit medieval hill towns like San Gimignano in Siena for stunning valley views and boutique shopping.

With over 3,000 years of history, world-famous art, and a rich culinary heritage to savor, planning the perfect length for your first visit to Italy deserves careful consideration. While some try to squeeze Italy's treasures into just a few days, to truly soak up the atmosphere and experience the best of Italian culture, most travelers prefer to spend a minimum of 10 to 14 days on their vacation.

Popular itineraries often focus on Italy's star attractions in Rome, Florence, and Venice, which could be covered in a quick one-week visit. However, to allow time to fall in love with each destination, get a taste of local life alongside sightseeing, and take day trips to surrounding highlights, two full weeks provide ideal pacing. You’ll still need to be selective, as seeing all of Italy in one vacation would take months, but the best two-week trips make for magical memories.

Beyond the essential stops in Rome, Florence, and Venice, many travelers add a fourth location, such as the Tuscan countryside, Milan, the Amalfi Coast, or Sicily, to round out a two-week Italy vacation. Whether you adore food, wine, history, art, hiking, or slowing down, two weeks sets you up to discover top regions and experience the best things to do.

The focal point of history and culture for over 2000 years, Italy is perhaps understandably also the world’s pre-eminent destination when it comes to its art and architecture. This guide highlights its basilicas, cathedrals and churches, and the priceless artworks contained within them.

Frequently Asked Questions

Deciding which Italy holiday package to choose can be difficult – there’s just so much to do. Keen historians will want to start in Rome, where centuries of history sit in between coffee shops and restaurants – the Colosseum and Vatican can’t be missed. Revolutionary art lines the walls of museums in Florence and Venice – wave hello to David in Florence, or gaze over Da Vinci’s Last Supper in Milan.

Head to the coast for beachside bliss – choose between the pebble-lined beaches of Amalfi, or the sandy Puglian perches or hop over to the ‘ball’ of Sicily, where seafood and spritz are best enjoyed by the sea. If your Italy holiday package falls over winter, the northern Alps will have all you need for a spectacular ski escape.

No Italy holiday package would be complete without sampling the local food – from pasta to gelato, focaccia to pizza and everything in between, the entire country is a foodie’s paradise.

Italy has long been the European playground for celebrities, with many opting to soak up summer amongst its villas and estates. In the north, Lake Como is a popular spot, while Capri in the south has welcomed the likes of Kate Moss and Beyoncé over the years.

Like most western European destinations, you can easily plan an Italy holiday by yourself. However, if you don’t want to lift a finger, an Italy holiday package is best – your accommodation and flights will be taken care of, leaving you more time to think about what you’re going to do – and eat!

Along Europe's Scenic "Yellow Roads"

A grand tour – in a small, intimate group... a trip of a lifetime through the most sought-after destinations in Italy with names like the Amalfi Coast, Sorrento, Rome, Venice and Florence... 

Ferragamo museum & wine tasting, private classical recital in umbria, private classical music recital in a frescoed music room.

Between the late 16th century and the 1960s, a grand estate in the small Umbrian town of San Martino in Campo near Perugia was inhabited by members of the noble Donini family. What began as two 17th-century villas of the summer residence of the Donini counts became at the turn of the 21st century the hotel Alla Posta dei Donini, boasting many authentically restored features from centuries past. One of these is a sitting room that was primarily used for concerts, decorated with frescoed walls and ceilings painted by artists from the school of noted 18th-century painter Francesco Appiani. Fittingly, it's in this magnificent setting that you'll enjoy a private classical music recital for Tauck guests only!

Tauck Exclusive – Vatican Museums after hours

Explore the treasures of the vatican museums and the sistine chapel... without the crowds.

Founded by Pope Julius II in the early 1500s, the Vatican Museums display classical and religious works of art collected by the popes throughout the centuries. Combined with the Sistine Chapel, they're visited by around six million people a year, ranking among the most-visited art museums in the world. On your exclusive, after-hours, guided visit, you can explore the Candelabra Gallery, the Map Gallery, the Tapestries, and the Sistine Chapel… all without the usual crowds. So you'll be able to take your time to contemplate the inspirational treasures before you – including the spectacular biblical frescoes on the ceiling, which took Michelangelo four years to paint, standing on a scaffold... and changed the course of western art.

This was a trip of a lifetime and I chose it because I felt the itinerary allowed me to experience the best Italy had to offer. All my expectations were met and exceeded!

About Booking This Tour

Travel Documents

If you are a U.S. citizen traveling internationally , you will need a passport valid for six months beyond the completion of your Tauck journey for entry into Italy; however, you do not need a visa for the short duration of this tour.

If you are a citizen of another country traveling internationally , you should contact an embassy or consulate of Italy to determine what travel documentation is required.

Please note that longer stays abroad for any purpose may require additional travel documentation.

We recommend that you make at least two photocopies of all the travel documents that you bring with you. Include copies of the photo page of your passport that contains the date of issuance, the date of expiration and your citizenship. Secure one set of copies in the safe in your room while traveling and leave one set behind with someone at home who will assist you in the event your documents are misplaced, lost or stolen.

To facilitate Travel Requirements, destinations are increasingly utilizing online forms that require digital proof that you've successfully completed your submission (via an email, QR code, etc.) To ensure smooth travels and peace of mind, we strongly recommend all guests carry a personal smart phone and sign up for international data plans before traveling overseas.

TRAVELING WITH CHILDREN AS A GUARDIAN: If you are traveling as the guardian of a child/children, we strongly suggest that you carry a letter from both parents of the child authorizing emergency treatment in the event of illness or accident. For travel abroad, many foreign countries have specific entry requirements for children under 21 who are traveling internationally without BOTH parents. (These requirements are in response to the increased incidence of children being abducted and taken abroad.) PLEASE NOTE THAT TAUCK IS NOT RESPONSIBLE for the disruption of travel caused by improper documentation for children traveling without both parents.

Travel Protection Plan

Effective for plans purchased as of July 1, 2021:

Tauck's Guest Protection

Tauck's Guest Protection provides you with cancellation protection before your journey begins as well as insurance benefits while you are traveling. Guest Protection includes the following:

Cancellation Waiver – Provided by Tauck:

Under Tauck's Cancellation Fee Waiver you can cancel your tour for ANY REASON up to the day before departure and receive a money-back refund (except in Extreme Circumstances*) on the land tour cost, based on your original method of payment.

*Extreme Circumstances:  In the event of an act of God, war (whether declared or undeclared), terrorism, accident, natural disaster, outbreak of disease, or other event or circumstance beyond our control that contributes to or results in cancellation rates above our historical cancellation rates in the absence of such event or occurrence, Tauck reserves the right to issue a credit to you in lieu of a money-back refund, applicable to a future Tauck journey.

Travel Insurance Benefits – Underwritten by United States Fire Insurance Company.

• Trip Cancellation –  If you must cancel your tour due to a covered reason, the plan provides coverage for the amount you paid for your travel arrangements. Since the non-insurance cancellation waiver takes care of the land package cancellation fees already, this benefit reimburses the airfare cancellation charges up to the value of your original airfare purchase.
• Trip Interruption –  If you have to interrupt your tour for covered reasons, the plan provides reimbursement to catch up to your tour or return home.
• Travel Delay –  Provides reimbursement for missed, prepaid travel arrangements if you are delayed by a common carrier, natural disaster, unannounced strike, or other reasons as cited in the plan.
• Medical Expense –  Reimburses covered medical expenses incurred in the event you become injured or sick during your trip. 
• Baggage / Personal Effects Protection –  Provides reimbursement in the event your luggage or personal effects are, lost, stolen, damaged or delayed during your trip.
• Worldwide Emergency Assistance Services –  Provided by Carefree Travel Assistance; 24-hour emergency telephone assistance hotline for medical and travel related problems.

The cost of Tauck's Guest Protection is: $559  per person

This protection provides insurance coverage that applies only during the covered trip. You may have coverage from other sources that provides you with similar benefits but may be subject to different restrictions depending upon your other coverages. You may wish to compare the terms of this policy with your existing life, health, home and automobile policies. If you have any questions about your current coverage, call your insurer, insurance agent or broker.

This optional Guest Protection must be requested at time of booking and fee must be included with initial payment. Fees are based on costs as of July 1, 2021, and are subject to change. Details will be provided with written confirmation of your tour reservation. Guest Protection does not protect travel agent commissions. Reimbursements will be made according to original method of payment. The amount of any refund shall be reduced by any recoveries obtained by you from any third parties.

The Guest Protection plan waives cancellation fees outlined below, provided we are notified of cancellation before your tour departs. Tour cancellation fees are waived regardless of reason, without written notice, and Tauck will refund land tour cost.

To obtain your state-specific Certificate of Insurance that contains the complete terms, conditions, limitations and exclusions of the certificate, visit  affinitytravelcert.com/docs/TACGPPINTL .

If You Have To Cancel

If you cancel within 10 days of initial deposit Within the first 10 days after you place your initial deposit, you may cancel your reservation for any reason with no cancellation fees. If you cancel more than 10 days after initial deposit Regardless of reason, cancellations result in costly charges from our travel and hotel providers covering penalties and fees incurred by canceling confirmed bookings. These fees vary from tour to tour. Therefore, the following fees apply.

Cancellation Fees with Tauck's Guest Protection Plan:

Loss of Guest Protection fee, per person 

Cancellation Fees without Tauck's Guest Protection Plan :

60 days or more before departure = $600 per person

59-8 days before departure = $900 per person

7-1 days before departure = $1500 per person

Time of cancellation will be when notice is received in our Wilton Woods, CT office.

In the event of an unforeseen circumstance beyond our control, Tauck reserves the right to amend the cancellation terms outlined herein.

Note:  All Guests, regardless of residency, who book a Tauck journey have the option of purchasing the Cancellation Waiver provided by Tauck in the event they need to cancel their trip after making their reservations. Tauck's Guest Protection, which includes both the Cancellation Fee Waiver and the Travel Insurance Benefits and Assistance Services described above, is not available to residents of Puerto Rico.

Travel Requirements For This Tour

Air Information and Luggage Restrictions

AIRFARE: Airfare to and from this destination is not included in the journey cost. If purchasing your air elsewhere, it is very important to provide us with your confirmed arriving and departing flight information no later than 3 weeks before your arrival date. Flight information can be submitted to Tauck (or verified, if you've already provided it) in the My Account section of Tauck.com.

TAUCK AIRPORT TRANSFERS are included at the start and end of the journey between the airport and the Tauck hotel. Airport transfers are available for any pre tour or post tour hotel stays immediately consecutive to the tour, providing flight information is received in the Tauck office no later than three weeks in advance. Details on locating your transfer upon arrival to the tour start city will be included in your final documents.

AIRLINES and CHECKED LUGGAGE: Due to space limitations during your Tauck journey, we ask that you please limit your checked luggage to one average-size suitcase per person. Besides complying with the Tauck restriction noted above, you should also be sure to research and comply with all airline baggage restrictions relating to your flights to and from your Tauck journey. Airlines have become much more strict in enforcing size and weight limits in recent years, and are free to revise luggage policies without notice. Researching and complying with airline luggage restrictions is the responsibility of the guest, and Tauck cannot be held responsible for any costs or disruptions to travel caused by the failure to research and comply with airline policies. PLEASE NOTE that if you are booked on a tour that includes on-tour flights, the checked luggage weight restrictions for these flights may be lower than the weight restrictions for your international flights.

Checked Luggage – General

Due to space restrictions, we ask that you please limit your checked luggage to one suitcase per person weighing no more than 50 pounds (23 kg) and with overall dimensions (length + width + height) not exceeding 62 inches (158 cm).

Besides complying with the Tauck restriction noted above, you should also be sure to research and comply with all airline baggage restrictions relating to your flights to and from your Tauck journey. Airlines have become much more strict in enforcing size and weight limits in recent years, and luggage exceeding airline standards for size or weight may result in expensive overage fees or other consequences.

Airlines are free to revise luggage policies without notice, and certain airlines have different baggage allowances for different classes of service. Researching and complying with airline luggage restrictions is the responsibility of the guest, and Tauck cannot be held responsible for any costs or disruptions to travel caused by the failure to research and comply with airline policies.

Tauck luggage tags will be provided by your Tauck Director on Day 1 of your itinerary. Please do not attach a Tauck luggage tag to any carry-on items, as the Tauck tags designate luggage that is to be handled and transferred by ground operators and hotel staff during your journey.

Carry-on Luggage - General

Although oversize bags and wheeled, carry-on luggage are popular for airline travel, they are often not convenient or appropriate for motor coach travel or for many on-tour flights. Most modern sightseeing motor coaches offer limited space for numerous or larger items. Space under seats or in the overhead rack is typically small, and designed to accommodate items like coats, hats, purses, and small camera bags, etc.

For your day-to-day travel while on tour, we recommend that you limit your hand luggage to a small, soft-sided carry-on piece, and that you bring only those items you need handy during the day such as make-up, medications, cameras, film, etc. Items too large to fit under the motor coach seat or on the overhead rack must be stored in the luggage bays beneath the motor coach, and may be inaccessible during daytime travel.

Health, Safety and Mobility

HEALTH CONSIDERATIONS

While drinking water is generally safe at all our hotels, bottled water will be available wherever the local water is not fit to drink. We also provide bottled water on the motor coaches.

Please check with your health insurance provider to determine whether you are covered while traveling. If you will not be covered under your current policy, we strongly suggest that you arrange for adequate coverage while on tour.

If you have a medical condition that might limit your participation in activities, please consult your physician for pre-departure health advice and notify us as soon as possible, if you have not already done so. We will advise your Tauck Director accordingly. 

VACCINATIONS  

If you are a resident of the U.S., no vaccinations are currently required for travel to Italy. For complete vaccination and inoculation information please contact your physician, the public health service in your area, or the U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC) to obtain information regarding vaccinations that may be required for your journey. The Travelers' Health Section of the CDC operates a 24-hour "Travelers' Health Hotline" at 800-232-4636 (toll-free in the U.S.). You may also log on to the CDC website by clicking here.

If you are a resident of another country, please contact an embassy or consulate of Italy to determine what vaccination(s) may be required for your travel.

SPECIAL DIETARY REQUESTS

The restaurants, hotels, caterers and numerous other partners we work with all do their best to accommodate special dietary requests from Tauck guests. However, given the diverse nature of those food providers (from small wineries to grand hotels to world-famous restaurants in more than 70 countries worldwide), some of our partners are better able than others to accommodate such requests. We therefore cannot guarantee that all dietary requests can be accommodated at every meal. Also, please note that where dietary requests can be accommodated, choices will frequently be limited.

Classic Italy covers 1,270 mi (2,043 km) and, though paced to accommodate all our guests, is nonetheless an active and extensive tour. To enjoy this tour, you should be in good health and able to walk reasonable distances, often over unpaved and uneven surfaces. Some of the most memorable sightseeing can only be accomplished on foot. Italy is home to innumerable historic buildings and sites, some dating from antiquity. Therefore, roads, walkways and architecture will present difficulties for some guests with physical disabilities. You will encounter cobblestone streets, narrow passageways, and some steep and winding staircases. For the most part, however, the amount of walking you do at the various sites and towns is at your discretion.

In addition, coach travel along the many "Yellow Roads" on this tour are very windy and may cause you some discomfort if you are prone to motion sickness. If you are, we advise bringing motion sickness remedies or medication with you.

PLEASE NOTE:  We regret that this Tauck itinerary cannot accommodate wheelchairs or motorized scooters.  Likewise, we regret that we're unable to provide individual assistance to guests with walking difficulties or other personal needs.  The responsibility of the Tauck Director who accompanies your trip is to ensure that the larger group enjoys a relaxing and informative journey, and he or she cannot be relied upon to provide ongoing individual assistance to any one guest.  Guests requiring such individualized assistance must be accompanied by an able-bodied companion who can provide it. 

Reading List

We have compiled a reading list of recommended books to give you more information about the destinations you will be traveling to on your upcoming journey!

You can view the reading list  here.

The weather in Italy is temperate and unpredictable. Generally, spring and fall average high temperatures range from 55 to 75°F (13 to 24°C) and summer high temperatures range from 75 to 85°F (24 to 29°C). Rain falls evenly throughout the year in Venice, but more seasonally in Rome and Sorrento, where summers are dryer than winters. Venice experiences very high humidity, with hot weather in July and August. Due to its location on the Adriatic coast, Venice often experiences thunderstorms and rain showers which, particularly in spring and autumn, tend to cause flooding, known as the 'acqua alta'.

What To Pack

Bringing the right clothing for your trip is important – we've partnered with Necessary Gear who provide an "easy-to-use, one-stop shop" for your Tauck travel needs, specifically selected for this trip. Click here to visit their site .

When packing for your trip to Italy, it is important to keep in mind the time of year you are traveling and the current weather conditions for that time. The climate of northern Italy ranges from Alpine near Switzerland to continental along the Po River to Venice. Your journey is designed with leisure in mind. Dress for comfort and convenience with a wardrobe that is adaptable and allows for layering. Generally, during the day, casual, comfortable, cotton clothing is recommended. Cool weather at higher elevations or at night will require warmer, layered clothing.

In Europe, especially in finer restaurants, it is generally customary to dress somewhat formally. Slacks or a dress for women and a jacket for men are acceptable dining attire. It is advisable to avoid wearing jeans, sneakers or shorts for dinner. You may also wish to dress up a bit for the welcome reception and the farewell dinner, but certainly be comfortable.

Most Catholic churches in Italy require that your knees and shoulders be covered when you enter, even during the hot days of summer. You will find a hair dryer located in your hotel guest room. By law in Italy, irons and ironing boards are not made available to guests at hotels. Valet laundry and dry cleaning services are available for a fee.

We recommend that you pack an adequate supply of your prescription medication in its original container to last through your entire journey, together with a copy of your doctor's prescription or a letter from your health-care provider on office stationery explaining that the medication has been prescribed for you, a list of the generic names of your medication, your travel documents and a change of clothing in your carry-on bag to avoid any inconvenience in the event that your flight or luggage is delayed.

Following is a list of recommended items to pack for your trip to northern Italy:

• Casual daytime wear – shorts, slacks, long and short-sleeved shirts
• An optional jacket and tie for men
• Casually elegant evening wear for ladies
• Sunglasses, sunscreen, hat
• A light sweater or jacket for higher elevations or a breezy night
• Binoculars (7x50 preferably)
• Insect repellent
• Camera, lenses, batteries, memory cards and chargers
• Lightweight, comfortable, sturdy walking shoes that have already been broken-in
• Travel alarm clock/cell phone with alarm function (many hotels do not have clocks in the rooms)
• Rain poncho and collapsible umbrella
• Reusable zipper-lock bags or other waterproof bags
• Daypack for camera equipment
• Sundries and toiletries that may be difficult to find en route
• Copies of your travel documents that should be secured in the safe in your hotel room while traveling

Local Living Italy—Sorrento

We enjoyed the range of activities. The tour of Naples had a local guide who provided knowledge specific to the history and people. The tour of Pompei also had a guide with detailed knowledge. Anna was our guide for the rest of the week. It was a full programme but wasn't too much. There were highlights one of which was Capri. Another was The Walk of the Gods. Breakfast was a great gathering occasion to talk amongst ourselves, discuss the days options and swap information gathered about the day. Dinner was always good food and good times enjoyed along the length of the table. Our room and bathroom was very comfortable with effective aircon and space to spread out. Luigi gave us a tour of the lemon farm and explained the methods and routines. He also demonstrated how to make limoncello. The organisation of the accommodation was faultless with, in my experience, any request willingly provided. The property had an efficient method for us to track our additional costs (wine and laundry) for which we paid for at the end. It was a friendly family run business. Everybody seemed to enjoy each other. The views from this property are tremendous especially from the terrace. It is quiet and peaceful, a short distance from Sorrento. Additional transport was available on our free day when we went in different directions and there's a bus stop at the end of the driveway. Anna provided local knowledge of Sorrento, for example good restaurants for lunch and where to swim. My husband and I enjoyed this tour very much. There was a great range of ages. English was the first language for us all. Anna's and the family"s knowledge of English was very good.

Small Group Tour of Sicily: Highlights (Maximum 8 Guests)

Small Group Sicily Food & Wine Tour (Maximum 8 Guests)

A fun tour. The group I travelled with made quick friends. Most of the accommodations were acceptable. Taormina was a treat staying at the Splendid hotel. Marcus our guide in Palermo was exceptional. I felt the food and wine experiences were average.

Local Living Italy—Amalfi Coast

Fantastic guide Salvo…wonderful people on the tour. I would have loved a local wine / lemon farm tour to have been included. The hikes (I did the first 3 ) were great , but calling the tour local living without doing some of the real local experiences is a little disappointing.

Sicilian Landscapes: Catania-Catania (8 days/7 nights)

We had a wonderful time during our one week “Sicilian Secrets” trip. Our guide Placido was very well organized, full of interesting stories and the sights were simply marvellous. Everything ran very smoothly and maybe we were lucky but we had a great core group of fellow travellers that respected the given times and so we moved right along without any troubles or delays. This tour is setup so that people can start in Catania, Ragusa or Palermo .,. but it was never a problem that certain people were joining or finishing in various towns along the way. Accommodations and food were always decent and sometimes even great, depending on the place. The bus was very comfortable and our driver Angelo was always kind, a true professional and we felt in very good hands as he navigated our very comfortable, full size bus, effortlessly through many tight and winding mountain roads. We definitely felt that we got our money’s worth. Sicily is a stunning island holding new surprises around every corner and this round trip allowed us to see so much of its great beauty in a very comfortable way. We can only recommend it.

Amalfi Coast Walking - Agriturismo

Amazing weather and great hikes on the trails of the Amalfi Coast. Our guide managed the group very well, he is really dedicated to his job. The dinners at the agriturismo were excellent !

Best of Italy

The tour itself was a bit ambitious - not enough time in many places (Rome and Florence for example). On the other hand, I did get to see towns/ cities I would not otherwise have seen. The pace was good. The introductory walks in each new destination were excellent. The accommodation was much better than I expected! One suggestion: forget la Spezia. Try to organize accommodation in one of the cinque terre villages or Portovenere. There was really nothing in la Spezia, and it’s only used as a gateway to cinque terre. It’s a bit of a yawn! Yuri was a terrific tour leader. He was engaging and enthusiastic. There were lots of physical activities but no pressure to join in if someone wanted to do something else. Yuri’s knowledge of each place we went was so welcomed. He was fun, understanding, helpful. He went out of his way to assist me when I encountered a couple of unexpected difficulties. I couldn’t have asked for a better tour leader.

Hiking in the Dolomites

Great value for money. Good tour guide. Excellent travel company. Some days the hiking was a bit light. Would have given it 5 stars if the hiking was every day. Also tourradar/intrepid could also consider providing a higher cost tour where we stay at different refuges every day. This will reduce the transportation constraints and time and increase the Dolomites amazing experience.

Best of Sicily - 8 Days (Small Group Tour)

Our tour was very enjoyable! The pace, the guides, the food & wines, the accommodations, sights & attractions we visited were all top notch! We’re already planning a “do-over” trip - it was that good!

Deluxe Italian Escape with picturesque Cinque Terre

Great agency. They are with you from start to finish. They were really helpful throughout the trip and worked their best to answer questions or fix any issues that came during the trip. They chose really good hotels, that are convenient and comfortable. I highly recommend them, as I may be booking with them in the near future. The few negative experiences had nothing to do with them. Wanderful did an amazing job.

Amalfi Coast Experience

The perfect way to explore Sorrento, Capri and the Amalfi Coast. Giovani was fantastic at bringing the group together, communicating options and giving local tips and facts. I recommend the extra package if possible- the dinner was delicious and the chairlift in Capri was a highlight. This tour gives flexibility and freedom if you want free time or if you want to stay with the group in locations. Accomodation was a fun way to see a camp site in Sorrento and has a pool, mini market and restaurant.

Taste of Salento-Authentic Culinary Experience

Emilio, Clara, Michael and Antonio were fantastic hosts. The food and the sights visited were fantastic. However, a more protein driven menu would have been appreciated. The Casa Clarita was nice, but needed little attentions such as water in the fridge upon our arrival without asking and napkins. The mattresses would need updating and extra blankets. Being North Americans, it would help paying attention to safe driving. These are only constructive criticism, as we truly enjoyed our week on the farm and highly recommend this tour.

Discover Matera and Taste of Salento Tour

Great Tours! A wonderful experience first in Salento at Emilio's Masseria and then in the enchanting Matera. We appreciated Emilio's excellent cuisine and his flexibility in organizing our tour days around the villages of Salento.

The communication with Tour Radar was excellent. They were very responsive and helpful at all times. The train travel was seamless and easy to negotiate. The quality of the hotels was variable. Some were excellent and some only adequate. It may have been in the documentation, but I hadn't realised that a city tax needed to be paid at each hotel.

Reviews of Small Group tours to Italy

Carla was very kind and helpful on our tour

This tour was the very best experience we have ever had traveling overseas. The booking process was seamless and painless. We felt especially grateful that while the group was limited to 8 participants, it was guaranteed to proceed with 2 people. As it ended up, our trip was just me and my husband and we felt so fortunate to have had the attention of the guides in such a personal way. The guides were all tremendous and I am confident that a larger group would have felt equally tended to. Special thanks to our guides and drivers: Denise, Orazio, Roberto, Carlos, Fabio and Massimo. Part of what was truly evident was how passionate they each were about Sicily and how many of them had connections with people at the restaurants, local businesses and attractions that we went to. We felt like we were in such good hands during the time we were with all of the guides. Each tour and activity was enlightening and educational. The included lunches and other meals were top notch. The opening night walking food and wine tour was a great way to kickoff the trip. There were some others who joined us for that portion, and it was most welcome. I don't think it would have been as much fun for the restaurants and enoteca to have just 2 people and the guide show up, and we knew the rest of the trip we would have individual attention. We felt pampered with our lunches on the Mafia tour, at the winery on Etna, in Marzememi and Agrigento. There was never a feeling of penny-pinching, more plush and like what we would have chosen for ourselves! The selected hotels were excellent! Centrally located, each with a fantastic breakfast spread and fun bar/restaurants. We would happily go back to any of them again and recommend them. We loved the scheduling each day and felt like we had a great mix of free time to explore on our own. Lastly, Graziana was out lifeline while we were traveling. She connected with us daily to check in, and to share the next days plan and name of our guide and where they would meet us. She made dinner reservations for us while we were there and provided recommendations that were helpful. We didn't encounter any issues, but felt that we had a ready ally if needed. Massimo also checked in midtrip, so we truly felt like everyone was interested in us having the best possible trip. I cannot wait to return to Sicily. We have recommended Sicily Activities to many people since our return and would book again in a heartbeat.

I can’t say enough good things about our experience in Sicily thanks to Mossimo and his team. Excellent, informative tour guides…Denise, Carlos, Antonio and Sem. The cooking class may have been the highlight, but all of the activities were fun and the pace of the tour, planned activities/free time mix was perfect. Will definitely recommend!
