  Asked on December 30th, 2025

  Can an extra day on the Amalfi coast be added to the tour? Can Sicily, Pompeii/Mt. Vesuvius, and the Vatican be added? Can we add extra time in and around Venice, to include Murano and seeing the glass there? Can we add a boat tour anywhere there or the Amalfi coast? Is a private gondola ride included in Venice and if so, what are the details of this? Am I understanding this tour accurately that it's essentially driving around Italy with a tour guide? Will we be going inside any museums or churches or anything? Can you also tell me the specific hotels we would be staying at?

    Yes, an extra day on the Amalfi Coast can absolutely be added. Renting a luxury sports car is available as an optional add-on service, and we would be happy to arrange this for you. We can include Pompeii / Mount Vesuvius, the Vatican, Sicily, and other destinations. Please note that adding Sicily and additional regions will require more days overall. We can certainly add extra time in Venice, including Murano Island visit with glass-making experience. Private boat tours along the Amalfi Coast or Gondola in Venice are not included however can be available as add-ons. You will be accompanied by a tour leader throughout your journey, ensuring smooth logistics and local insight, while still allowing plenty of free time to enjoy each destination at your own pace. We can also include specific museums, churches, or landmarks, just send us your list of must-see sites, and we will incorporate them into the itinerary. Our quoted prices are based on standard 3 star hotels, for example: Rome: Hotel Aventino or similar, Salerno: B&B Les Lumières or similar, Piediluco: Hotel del Lago Piediluco or similar, Venice area: Hotel Giottino (Giotta) or similar. However, as this is a special occasion, we would be more than happy to check upgraded hotel options for you such as 4 stars or 5 stars options?

  Is there a price difference for children and adults? Is there another price difference for passengers from Shkoder or Tirana, since there is a difference in travel distance? What time will the pickup be in Shkoder?
