do you have 2026 dates available yet ? Thinking April May or June ?

We will no longer be operating our trip after the fall of 2025. Tour Radar will be able to assist in finding you the perfect alternative!

What is the cost of the Amalfi Coast tour?

The private boat tour of the Amalfi is an optional extra which is Approx € 1250 for up to 12 travelers and € 1950 for 13 and 14 travelers. It will be offered on trip, and the cost would be divided by those that would like to partake.

Do you help book flights?

No we do not offer airfare. My suggestion would be to search via "Google Flights" as they will present all carrier options.

What transportation options are available to get from Naples to the next location?

You can take a train or book flights into Naples and out of Brindisi for your return.

I want to extend my trip. I want to arrive early and go to the island of Capri for a day or two. Can you give me some options and a quote, please?

We do not offer any options outside of the trip. I have asked Tour Radar to get back to you with any options they may have through a different provider.

I would like to extend this trip. What are my options?

We have a departure heading out Sat, 21 Jun 2025 - Mon, 30 Jun 2025. Are you traveling solo? We offer a Twin Share or Private Room option for our solo travelers. We are happy to assist with booking pre and post trip accommodation if you decide to arrive early or stay on after the trip ends.

What meals are included during the trip?

Meal inclusions will be specified in the itinerary provided to travelers.

do I pay the full amount or a deposit to secure the booking?

The final balance of our trips is due 60 days prior to departure, prior to that you can secure your trip with a deposit which will be an option when you confirm your place.

what is the price of a single private room on this trip please?

For the July 5th trip the cost for a private room is $3,959.

Can you provide the itinerary details for the tour?

I had visited Northern Italy many times before, but seeing the South was absolutely magnificent. It was a true dive into the local culture — filled with rich stories, unforgettable food that tickled all my taste buds, and an amazing variety of experiences throughout. Our tour guide, Francesco, was enthusiastic, knowledgeable, and full of energy. He didn’t spare a moment to share insights about the land and its people — we truly learned so much from him. This was my first time joining a tour with Culture Trip, and I can highly recommend it. I especially appreciated the free time we had in between activities — it made the trip feel balanced and personal. All in all, the tour was a great success, and my thoughts are still with Italy.Show more

I have just returned from the Seductive Southern Italy tour, the best tour I have ever done. Due mainly to our incredible tour leader Francesco a singing dancing people pleasing foodie (a dream come true for a foodie). And our on site tour guide Floriana who’s historical knowledge was amazing as was her delivery, she spoke like she was singing to us. There was so much variety and we were so well looked after I would do it again. Response from Tour Radar and Culture trip was so quick and professional especially Shelby. Our accommodation was outstanding in Matera Maoiri and Polignano al Mare. Some reviews stated they were too far away but I think it was a perfect balance in getting away from the crowds to relax and see the real Italy. I will definitely book another Tour Radar/Culture trip holiday without hesitation thank you 🙏 ps hot tip eat whatever Francesco tells you to you won’t regret it!!!!!! 😋 🐽Show more

Book this trip! This was an AMAZING trip! I highly recommend it. This was my first solo trip. I met great people from all over the world. This trip goes to towns that you normally don’t see on other tours which I really liked. This trip had a perfect balance of structure and free time. All of the accommodations were nice and clean, my favorite one was the cave accommodation in Matera. Our tour guide, Ciro, did a fantastic job. Even in inclement weather when our boat tour got canceled, he went out of his way to make sure we still had a great day. He always had a positive attitude. All in all, I 100% recommend this trip. Culture trip’s customer service was excellent as they replied quick and was always friendly and enthusiastic and willing to help and answer any questions.Show more

An amazing adventure of Southern Italy at Easter Francesco our tour director was one of the best that I've ever had. His attention to detail, spirit, and love of Italy made this trip one of the best that I've ever had. The hotels were great with comfortable bedding. The food and service were great. Since there were only 3 of us on the tour we spent almost 100% of our time as a group of 4 or 5. Thank you for allowing the tour to continue with this small of a group. The tour guides and bus drivers were so great. I have nothing negative to say other than the weather was too cold - unseasonable and uncontrollable.Show more

Good experience, great tour leader! - Our tour leader, Francesco, was absolutely amazing! He is so personable, fun and wanted to please us in every way! Our town guide, Floriana, was also a delight and knew a wealth of history! Transportation went well, great drivers. Good hotels but Lecce’s and Polignano a Mare were so far from town with nothing to do since the weather in early April was cold and cloudy. I’m sure in warmer months when the pool is open they would suffice.Show more
