    Asked on July 21st, 2025

    Can we stay in one room or what do you recommend? Do we need winter clothing in November or sweater/pullover ok?

    Accommodation
    Travel Support
    • Insight VacationsOperatorWritten July 2025

      A triple room option is available for the November 6th departure. Regarding winter clothing for Italy in November, a sweater or pullover should be perfectly fine for most days, especially in central and southern parts of Italy. However, we also recommend packing a light jacket or layerable outerwear just in case temperatures drop, especially in the mornings and evenings.

      Patrick

      TravelerWritten July 2025

      What is a triple room? Two twin beds? Or three single beds? Or some combination? Would it be less expensive just to get two rooms and my father in law has his own room?

    • Insight VacationsOperatorWritten July 2025

      A triple room can either be one double room and a single room, or three individual rooms. If you're looking for more space and privacy, then yes — taking a single room is the best option. The price for the person opting for a single room is $5,855.

    Asked on August 4th, 2023

    Is it possible to accommodate an amputee who requires ADA wheelchair and roll in shower for the tour?

    Accommodation
    Travel Support
    • Insight VacationsOperatorWritten August 2023

      Coaches have limited space for wheelchairs. Only one non-motorized, fully collapsible wheelchair is allowed per trip. A traveling companion must assist with wheelchair loading and movement. European cities, especially Italy, may have challenging terrain with cobblestone streets and difficult navigation. Venice particularly has narrow alleys and bridges that make wheelchair movement difficult. Gondolas cannot accommodate wheelchairs.
