    Andrew

    Asked on September 13th, 2025

    What is transportation. We are looking for a river cruise

    Transport
    • ColletteOperatorWritten September 2025

      For our Southern Italy and Sicily tour most of the transportation is via motor coach by land. If you are looking for a river cruise, I would suggest our Magical Rhine and Moselle Rivers tour or our Holland and Belgium Springtime River Cruise tour. Both of the suggested tours do not have availability within November of 2025. Our closest availability for those tours is in March or April of 2026.

    Jacqueline

    Asked on July 22nd, 2024

    Cost for additional day in Rome?

    Accommodation
    Price / Availability
    • ColletteOperatorWritten July 2024

      To answer your immediate question, pre-nights and post-nights (up to 3 nights) are available for your desired travel date. In order to get an additional night in Rome, you would have to book a post-night at the Massimo D'Azeglio Hotel with a Standard room [including breakfast], quoted at $330 per room, per night.
