    Angela

    Asked on February 14th, 2026

    Will you have any travel dates after 12 Sept? We are interested in dates one week later due to college graduation on the 18th. also, do you offer an additional day in Rome to see Pompeii?

    Price / Availability
    Tour Details
    • TrafalgarOperator•Written February 2026

      We completely understand the timing around a graduation is important unfortunately, there is no departures after 12 September at this time, and this itinerary doesn't offer an additional day in Rome to visit Pompeii. If you have alternative trip, we will be happy to assist you.

      Angela

      Traveler•Written February 2026

      Any tours that would include Venice, Florence, Rome, Pompeii, Athens, meteora/kalambaka, olympus, delphi?

    • TrafalgarOperator•Written February 2026

      It's wonderful to hear about your preferred destinations. We do have several trips that include many of the places you're interested in, though not every location is covered in a single itinerary. We'd be happy to help you find the best options.

      Angela

      Traveler•Written February 2026

      I dont see that any of these tours include italy and greece

    • TrafalgarOperator•Written February 2026

      Regrettably, there aren't other standard itineraries that combine all of the destinations you listed (Venice, Florence, Rome, Pompeii, Athens, Meteora/Kalambaka, Olympus, Delphi) into a single package. If your plans are flexible, alternatively, you could combine two tours, one focused in Italy (like Italian holiday) and another focused in Greece (like Secrets of Greece including Corfu). Together, these would cover almost all your desired stops.

      Angela
