Italy Tours

For some people, taking a trip to Italy is the fulfillment of a lifelong dream - so you want to be sure to do it right. Whether that means you plan the trip yourself or you hand the reigns to a capable travel agent, your goal will be the same: You don’t want to miss anything.

Start With the “Must-Sees” and Add On
To do a proper Italy tour, you’ll obviously need to hit the “Holy Trinity” of Italian cities - Rome, Florence and Venice. Yes, everyone does it, and the crowds can be annoyingly thick (especially during the summer), but these are must-see cities for a reason.

Beyond that, to get a real sense of what Italy is like when it’s not covered in tourists, it’s a good idea to include a small village or hill town on your itinerary somewhere. Then perhaps you’ll have time for a visit to an Italian beach, a drive through vineyard-covered hills, a cooking class, a hiking or skiing trip in Italy’s mountains - the list could go on and on. If it sounds like planning the perfect Italy tour will be a challenge, it will be - especially if you are trying to do everything in one trip.

Prioritize, Prioritize, Prioritize
If you don’t have an infinite amount of time to travel in Italy, your best bet is make a priority list of the places you simply refuse to miss and then add in extras as time permits. You will have an excellent time, and while you won’t see everything, you will enjoy what you do make time to see. And that’s extremely important. There are lots of resources right here to help you plan the perfect Italy tour on your own, from general Italy travel information to a basic Italy travel guide to a few ideas of what to do in Italy. Of course, at some point in the planning process, the problem is less about not having enough information and all about having too much! This is where that priority list you’ve made will come in very, very handy.

Small Group Trips to Italy
If you would prefer to let someone else plan your Italy tour, one great option to consider is to sign up for a small group Italy trip. Someone else has already come up with a nice selection of different Italy vacations for you to choose from, covering everything from city tours to adventure trips. There are trips of different durations, with different themes, and highlighting different areas of the country. The groups are smaller in size and often take advantage of local transportation, so you won’t feel like you’re being herded around like cattle. These Italy trips are also designed to give travelers at least a little bit of independence each day, so even if the museum you want to check out isn’t on the daily itinerary you should have time to visit on your own. And what’s more, if none of these trips looks precisely like the one you want to take, you can work with an adventure expert to create your very own dream trip.

No matter which road leads you to Rome, whether you plan the trip yourself or you let someone else take care of things, you are bound to have a great time if you remember to soak in everything you see, hear, taste and smell. Move slowly when you can in order to really observe your surroundings. Spend an hour people-watching at an outdoor cafe - no one will try to shoo you away from your table. Savor your meals, and order the daily special whenever you can. Oh, and don’t forget the golden rule - two scoops of gelato, every day. No questions asked.
