  • S

    Sally

    Asked on February 1st, 2026

    What can you offer in the way of an upgrade for the hotels? I'm looking for hotels with a triple room to hold three adults. It can be a double or queen bed and a single, or three singles, or a sofa bed or whatever is needed.

    Accommodation
    • Italy on a Budget ToursOperator•Written February 2026

      We normally provide an upgrade for double rooms in both hotels and B&Bs. For the triple room, kindly allow us to check the rates. The closest fixed departures to your travel dates are on 10th and 20th September. Should you be unable to join on our scheduled departure dates, we can also offer a partially guided tour on a date that is more suitable for you.

      Our 18-39 tours are primarily designed for travelers in that age range, but we are not strict about the age limit. Guests over 39 are welcome as long as they are young at heart, comfortable with the pace of the tour, able to participate fully without walking difficulties, and happy to travel alongside younger people.

    Asked on January 17th, 2025

    • Italy on a Budget ToursOperator•Written January 2025

      you could either book your accommodation there and visit independently or join our day tour from Florence to Pisa and cinque terre and eventually remain there for the night or stay in Florence and take few day trips to visit several places. i am afraid we don't have the tour selected available on the days you inquire.
