    Virginia

    Asked on May 4th, 2026

    Do you go to Reggio Calabria on any of the tours?

    Tour Details
    • STM Tours LLCOperatorWritten May 2026

      Both the 12-Day South Italy by Bus Tour and the North Italy Tour are operated as fully guided packages and require a minimum of 15 participants in order to run as a fully escorted group tour. However, we are fully able to accommodate your request by offering the same program with very minor adjustments. The tour will be arranged as a partially guided experience, meaning that on each day you will be accompanied by a different local guide and may also join different groups of travelers. Based on your request, we will certainly be able to arrange a visit to Reggio Calabria, or alternatively coordinate directly with the local guide to ensure this stop is included as part of your experience.

      Virginia

      TravelerWritten May 2026

      I'm looking to travel on the recommended dates of 11th October to 22nd October. Also interested in doing the north of Italy too & what would be best to start from. Does Assisi included also?

    • STM Tours LLCOperatorWritten May 2026

      Reggio Calabria resides in Southern Italy. So it'll be more suitable package for you. If you would like to focus only on Southern Italy, we can proceed with a package that includes the Calabria region. If you would like both Northern and Southern Italy, we can arrange that as well. However, the Northern Italy itinerary will not include Calabria and will follow our standard itinerary, only with Partial guided type.
