Could you please clarify the difference between "Standard" and "Premium" hotel options? Also, as a 40 yr old female solo traveler planning to join in July or August, I'm curious about the typical age range of participants on this trip. Any tips for solo travelers would also be appreciated!

The difference between "Standard" and "Premium" hotel options is that with the Premium option you'll have better rooms or better hotels but with the Standard option you would also have an excellent experience! The typical age range actually varies, so we had young couples travelling with us as well as older retired couples or brothers travelling together or moms and daughters or widows/widowers or singles. It really depends!

I thoroughly enjoyed this tour. The itinerary was excellent and the logistics were easy but above all, what made the difference was our truly talented Tour Guide Alessandro. He provided us with a wealth of information and always tried to ensure that we were having a good time and making the most of our tour. He stands among one of the best Tour Directors that I have met.
