What people love about Italy Tours for Seniors
- Jewels of Italy
The tour covered a lot and was very enjoyable.
- Italian Treasures
We did the Globus Italian Treasures tour in May 2018. This was our first time on a tour and to Italy. Our tour guide Errica was amazing + very good @ her job and our bus driver Luciano a very good driver. The tour was all go you had to get up at 6:00am each morning with the bus leaving 7:30-8:00am. I thought the itinerary was good we visited all the main cities Rome, Florence, Venice. and a boat ride to Cinque Terre. We also went to a lot of villages and towns in theTuscany and Umbria regions. eg Lucca, Siena, San Gimignano, Verona, Assisi, Orvieto. If we hadn’t done the Tour we wouldn’t have seen these beautiful towns which also had some good nice small shops, as the cities mainly have the big brand shops. I would recommend this Globus tour it was very good we saw a lot. It was all go but this was to achieve the itinerary and you could also catch up on sleep on the bus while on the road between towns and stops. The bus stops every couple of hours 2 visit something or for a toilet stop. The hotels were all very good and very good central locations. The best one was in Venice as it was on the island and right next to St Marks square. The hotel in Assisi had good views of the valley. I thought we had a good balance of guided time on the tour and then free time to explore on our own. I would recommend getting to Rome the day or two before the tour starts to explore Rome your selves. As the tour only really goes to the Colessum and the Basillica. We went on a 3 hour bike tour which covered a lot of distance and provided a good overview. We also went on the hop on hop off bus. Would also recommend at the end of the tour in Rome having a day to relax at the pool. The last night of the tour was @ the Crowne Plaza. Then we caught the fast train to Milan and stayed 3 nights there and went to Lake Como. Some others on the tour went on the other direction on the fast train to Sorrento and Amalfi Coast. Optional tours we did the gondola ride in Venice and in Lucca the optional farmhouse dinner which was a lot of fun, drinking and dancing. Also the hotel is out of the Lucca town so you would have to taxi there to get dinner.

The tour was great! The guide and the driver were fantastic! "Tuscan Treats" was indeed a treat!
What our customers ask about Italy Tours for Seniors
What's the best time of year for seniors to visit Italy?
The shoulder seasons of spring (April-May) and fall (September-October) provide the most comfortable conditions for senior travelers. During these months temperatures hover between 65-75°F with noticeably smaller crowds at key sites. Summer brings intense heat and tourist masses while winter sees occasional rain and in Venice high water levels can create walking difficulties. Past travelers recommend September for its pleasant walking conditions especially in Rome and Florence.
What types of accommodations are provided on senior tours in Italy?
Senior-focused tours select 4-star hotels in central locations that offer both comfort and convenience. These properties feature elevator access modern amenities and easy reach to attractions. The Grand Hotel Adriatico in Florence and Hotel Naples serve as typical examples. One TourRadar traveler shared: "The hotels were excellent quality and well-located. The Hotel Villa Angela in Taormina had beautiful views and was very comfortable for older travelers."
What luggage assistance is provided on senior tours in Italy?
Comprehensive luggage support comes standard on senior tours. Porter service at hotels and between-destination handling means travelers rarely need to manage their own bags. This includes assistance during train transfers such as between Florence and Rome. Hotel staff including those at Venice's Hotel San Cassiano regularly help with luggage needs.
