Why do some of the Omega tours include all your meals while others include breakfast & maybe a couple of the other meals? I was looking at the Puglia region of Italy.

The difference in meal inclusions across Omega Tours itineraries depends on the style of the tour and the region being visited. In the case of tours in the Puglia region, many of these itineraries are designed to offer more free time and flexibility, allowing travelers to explore the local cuisine at their own pace. Puglia is known for its diverse and regional food culture, and part of the experience is discovering family-run trattorias, local markets, and hidden culinary gems in each town. On the other hand, some of our more structured or remote-region tours may include more meals, especially when dining options are limited or when group activities are scheduled throughout the day.

Do you know when the dates for the tour will be released for our travel time?

We expect the 2026 rates and dates to be released in July or August. We will be happy to welcome you on this tour.

The tour guide AnDre was excellent. He spoke both English and Italian and was always looking out for his group. He had knowledge of the places we visited. The resort style place for 3 nights had a lot of mosquitos due to all the vegetation surrounding the rooms. The food was somewhat mediocre to bad. Wines also not good. The food out on our day trip stops was about the same. I usually don't have 3 meals a day on my tours but based on where we were staying on this tour, there really was no other option to go out to eat on my own. The people on the tour were pleasant. The pace each day was perfect to see each town. I arrived in Bari the day ahead and I greatly enjoyed exploring the city on my own.Show more

This tour company is more of a travel agent than an actual tour operator. There was a completely different tour operator than Omega, and it was clear everyone had booked the tour through different means. The tour was operated in 3 languages, and I was the only native English speaker on a tour with 40 people. That meant that all meals (because they were all group meals) were awkward with no one to talk to, and that announcements of information was difficult to get in English. I will say the food on the tour was quite good. The hotel we stayed at for 3 of the 4 nights was in the middle of nowhere, so there was no exploration there. The tour had almost no free time during the day, with leaving hotels at 8:30am and dinner ending at almost 10pm every night.Show more
