When is the best weather to travel Italy on a tour?

The high season for Italy is June to September. From personal experience, July and August tend to be very hot (81°F to 88°F). If you are flexible with your travel dates May, June, September, and October might be your best bet. Crowds aside, these months combine the convenience of peak season with pleasant weather.

Do you book air for your tours? There are 2 couples. We would fly in/out of Boston, MA.

Tour Radar has an air tool you can use to shop and book flights.

What is the age range of this tour?

The tour was excellent. The itinerary was very well organized and efficient. We loved every place we went and all of the local guides. The bus was spacious and clean (however, the Wi-Fi was not working well most of the time). The hotels were all very nice. Donna Laura was the only one that didn't seem very centrally located, but it was nice. Our driver, Alessandro, was a great driver and very pleasant. Saving the best for last, our tour director, Giacomo, was beyond fantastic. Great demeanor and very friendlyÃ¢â‚¬Â¦ extremely knowledgeableÃ¢â‚¬Â¦ went out of his way on countless occasions to help the people in our group. Overall, we loved this trip - it was like a dream come true!Show more
