What people love about Italy Tours for Young Adults
- Italy: Pasta & Piazzas
This is my first time in Europe, solo traveling and doing a tour with TopDeck. I loved the guide, Paola, who was from Italy. The itinerary is great and allows you to see the major sites. I would make sure to plan for the free time if you want to go inside the major monuments, as they are not included in your tour. You will get to see them from the outside if that is satisfactory. The tour guide went out of her way to make sure everyone had plans during the free time and gave recommendations. Most of the time, she would offer to show us to a good location that lets you see an area that wasn't seen during the walking tour or have us join her for dinner at spots she loves. I went during the heat wave in Europe, so it was very hot, but she always made sure we had an opportunity to get water. I do not recommend a roller bag unless it's carry-on size or smaller, as many of the guests that had large rollers ended up losing a wheel to the cobblestone. If you do want a roller, I would make sure you are able to lift easily over your head, as many of the trains taken have space for large luggage, but you need to be able to lift it in the overhead storage. Particularly wide suitcases are not recommended, as on the smaller trains, the suitcase would not fit and would have to be on the luggage rack at the ends of the train car.
- Tuscany, Milan & Venice (Winter, Classic)
My first trip with Contiki and it was better than I expected! Made a few good friends and everyone was a pleasure to travel with. Rob was an awesome tour guide and I would highly recommend this tour.
- Italy Must-See: Amalfi Coast, Tuscany, Florence, Cinque Terre & more!
I had a great time on our tour of Rome, Florence and Venice with day trips to Cinque Terre and Tuscany. It represented great value with a fully trained tour guide on each day guiding you through the trip and a free apperitivo and welcome meal included along with the accommodation. A special shout-out to our tour guides Anna and Elisa who were amazing. It was great to get to know them as well as learn more about the cities we visited. Their local knowledge really enhanced the tour and I was always given great recommendations for things to do or food and drink to try whether it was pasta, pizza, Italian bread, an apperitivo or gelato (I ate a lot of gelato!) Highlights of the tour included trying Carbonara as part of our welcome dinner in Rome, exploring all the great architecture of Rome and the Vatican and our day trip to Tuscany where we tried various different wines and it really felt like a proper Italian experience. Thank you to Italy on a Budget tours for making this such a memorable tour. I think I'll have to come back and go to Southern Italy next time!
