Expert Advice

diana

Some of what you think of as traditional Italian foods are actually American interpretations and not widely available there. Some examples are heavy cream sauces such as alfredo, spaghetti and meatballs, and chicken parmigiana (however, you may find these items in more tourist-oriented restaurants).

7-10 Day Coach Tours of Italy

Your coach tour of italy.

You will begin and then depart in either Rome or Milan, or Venice. Italy itself will unwrap your senses in a way you will not expect. You will be entranced by the magic of Venice, with the winding canals and majestic architecture that will make you want to return again and again. In your guided Tour you will visit the Doge's Palace and stroll through St. Mark's Square, perhaps enjoy a coffee at Cafe Florian as Casanova once frequented. The Market at the Rialto Bridge will be a feast for your eyes and nose as the freshest ingredients of the day are on display.

Wherefore Art Thou Romeo?

The beautiful city of Verona will enthral you with its ambiance of romance as it is the setting for Romeo and Juliet, as Juliet's balcony is located here. Look out for Juliet's statue and she may give you luck. As you wander through the streets, you will see the Roman Arena, Piazza delle Erbe, and the Ponte Pietra. Your escorted Tour may take you to Pisa, the city known for its iconic Leaning Tower. Next to the Tower is the Baptistery, which you can tour and be astounded by the acoustics which are demonstrated daily by amateur singers. There is simply a charm of its own on the back streets of Pisa.

The bustling yet peaceful city of Florence will delight you with the picturesque Piazzas, the Arno, and the terracotta tiled Duomo. On your guided vacation, take in the sights of the Ponte Vecchio, the Basilica of Santa Croce, and the Accademia Gallery to behold the statue of David. Rome is the most famous Italian city of all and the capital of Italy. All roads truly do lead there as do most of the tours. See the Colosseum, Forum, Spanish Steps and the Trevi Fountain on your guided sightseeing tour. With most tours you will be supplied with headphones so that you can hear the guide clearly. 

Three Coins in a Fountain

Most tours spend a couple of nights in Rome so you will have the opportunity to see all the historical sights floodlit which brings an extra magic to your visit. Heading south from Rome you may take the opportunity to see Pompeii. Sitting in the shadow of Mt Vesuvius you’ll learn about the 79 AD eruption which destroyed the Roman cities of both Pompeii and Herculaneum. The magnificent Amalfi Coast will take your breath away as you meander along the coast line viewing the towering cliffs as houses seem to grow out of the mountains. Perhaps you will visit Positano, a quaint cliffside village. Finally let us not forget two more major regions that you can visit in less than 10 days. The Italian Lakes of Maggiore, Lugano, Como and Garda all have their own characters and are simply stunning. Fans of Island life may wish to visit Sicily, the largest island in the Mediterranean. A prominent landmark is Mt Etna, the tallest active volcano in Europe. 7-10 days in Italy will leave a lasting impression and you will be yearning for another visit. Perhaps a longer one, which you can find in our other section of  Italy tours 11-30 days which also include visits to other European countries.

Southern Italy and Sicily (10 Days)

Experienced an excellent tour led by the most knowledgeable, personable and professional tour director I have encountered over the course of 5 tours, 3 being with Trafalgar. Colleen is super efficient and this combined with her priority to satisfy each tour member's special needs, be they dietary, health-related or even pertaining to specialty shopping make her an extremely valuable asset to the Trafalgar family. Colleen took me to a pharmacy when my ankles swelled and tirelessly located several bookstores in various cities for me, all because she knew how important this was to me. She worked well with our professional driver Michele and kept us informed, entertained and educated about our surroundings, simultaneously. Colleen made this tour special and memorable for all 41 of us!

Best of Italy (Summer, 13 Days) Tour

Best of Italy (Summer, 13 Days)

There were aspects of our trip that was excellent and a few that were poor to okay. Tourism is way up in Italy this year and you really get a sense the service sector there is fatigued with it. We found about half our food service arrangements were lacking with respect to food quality and service. Not once did we find fresh bread at a restaurant for example. The brochure from the tour operator needs to be taken with a grain of salt and it would be helpful if a few days before tour start it could be communicated what we were actually doing. For example, our Best of Italy tour was to visit the forum in Roma but only view the Colosseum from the outside. When we got there we discovered we would not be going to the forum but would be going into the Colosseum. Luckily we had time due to an early arrival to arrange tickets to go to the Palatine Hill and the forum. Would have been nice to know in advance. Be prepared that you will likely find a lot of issues with air conditioning in some of the older hotels. Prepare yourself, not much can be corrected other than perhaps getting a different room if it is available. Your tour director will do their best but the last line of defense is "it is all part of the travel experience". Italian breakfasts are usually a croissant and capuccino so if you go expecting a more hearty breakfast it will not be done well. Scrambled eggs and bacon are usually available but we rarely found the eggs to be real eggs - more like powdered egg soup and the bacon was more often than not undercooked. The farewell dinner was a set menu in a restaurant near the final hotel and the service and quality of food was very poor. It was obvious that while the restaurant opened this evening just for us due to contractual obligations, the minimum effort was put forward. Our bread was from days ago and dropped on each table inside a small paper bag. My suggestion is that Trafalgar skip the dinner and instead host a reception with appetizers and drinks so we could socialize more with our new tour friends. Shangri-La hotel was the final stay on the tour. We booked a couple extra days to stay in Roma and wish we had relocated to a hotel in the ancient city. Other than the mall (EUROMA), there is very little in the area. A taxi to Piazza Navonna was about 22 euro but if we had a hotel in walking distance we could have freshened up and had dinner feeling a lot less tired, hot and sweaty.
