We truly appreciate your observations, very valuable to us, as they help us continuously improve our itineraries and overall travel experience.

    Thank you, Trish, for sharing your thoughts about the 8-day Best of Italy: Rome, Florence & Venice! We’re glad you enjoyed the incredible cities, points of interest, and the expertise of Stefano and Walter. It’s great to hear they contributed positively to your experience! We understand that the walking involved can be challenging for some travelers, especially on cobblestones and stairs, and we always aim to make our tours as enjoyable and accommodating as possible. As for the idea of a written list of recommendations, that’s a fantastic suggestion, and we’ll pass it along to our team! It’s worth mentioning that our tours are designed to provide a high-quality, premium experience at an accessible price, combining skilled guides, comfortable transportation, and thoughtfully selected activities.

    Confirm that this tour covers 7 nights of lodging since the website states only 5 nights. What is a BB basis for lodging mean? Do you offer optional tours doing the free times? If so, please share. (The only one I saw was to see Pisa.) Do you provide recommendations for places to eat or visit during the free times? What is the max tour size? What hotels are used on this tour? Do you have a luggage limit? (We will be traveling for a wedding the week before and will have more than for the tour week.) What are the specific differences between this tour and The Italian Dream? Do you have a customer service phone number that can be used to make tour reservations?

    Asked on September 9th, 2025

    Can you tell me the best times to schedule my arrival on the 26th and departure on the 3rd?

    Flights / Transfers
    Tour Details
    • Carrani ToursOperatorWritten September 2025

      On 26th September, the included activity is our Hop On Hop Off service, which you can use throughout the whole day. I would therefore suggest, if possible, to arrive in the morning so that you have more time at leisure to explore our Eternal City. On the last day, no activities are included, so I recommend booking a flight in the late afternoon or evening in order to enjoy the city a bit longer. Please note that hotel check-out is in the morning, but you can leave your luggage in the hotel storage and return later for your transfer to the airport.

  • A

    Audrey

    Asked on August 27th, 2025

    Which nights are covered and can you assist in securing accommodations for the other two nights at our cost? Also do you have flexibility with dates of arrival or departure?

    Accommodation
    Tour Details
    • Carrani ToursOperatorWritten August 2025

      The 8-day tour actually includes 7 nights, not 5. Since it is a group tour, the departure and arrival dates are fixed. However, if you would like to arrive a day earlier, we can certainly assist in securing accommodations for an additional night prior to the tour, at your own cost.
