Independent Rome, Florence & Venice City Stay

The price covers eight nights of accommodation in centrally located hotels, an English‑speaking guide for all walking tours, daily breakfast, and all intercity transport between Rome, Florence and Venice. It also includes the guided visits to the listed attractions. International flights, lunches, dinners, personal expenses, and optional activities are not part of the package.

No. The tour price does not include any international or domestic flights. Travelers must arrange their own flights to Rome at the start of the tour and from Venice at the end. The itinerary does provide airport transfers to connect those flights with the first and last hotels.

The quoted price excludes local city taxes (typically €3‑5 per night), entrance fees for attractions not explicitly listed, and any optional excursions or meals beyond breakfast. Personal purchases, tips, and travel insurance are also extra. All mandatory costs are disclosed before booking.

Most operators accept credit cards and bank transfers. A common arrangement is a 30 % deposit at booking with the remaining balance due 30 days before departure. Installment plans can be discussed with the provider, and a small processing fee may apply.

Cancellations made more than 30 days before departure receive a full refund minus a processing fee. Cancellations between 29 and 15 days prior are refunded at 50 %. Cancellations less than 15 days before the start date are non‑refundable. Changes are subject to availability and may incur a handling charge.

Travel insurance is not mandatory for the Independent Rome, Florence & Venice City Stay, but it is strongly recommended. The policy should cover medical emergencies, trip interruption, and personal belongings, meeting the Schengen minimum of €30,000 medical coverage. Some operators may request proof of insurance for visa‑free travelers.

The tour begins at 9:00 am on the first day in Rome. Participants meet in the lobby of the first hotel (address provided after booking). After a brief orientation, the guide leads the group on the scheduled walking tour of the city’s historic centre.

Your luggage stays in the hotel rooms each night. During coach or train transfers between cities, a dedicated luggage compartment is available for larger bags, while you keep personal items such as a daypack with you. The guide assists with loading and unloading as needed.

Yes. A private shuttle transfers you from Rome’s Fiumicino Airport to the first hotel on arrival, and from the final hotel in Venice to Marco Polo Airport on departure. Transfer times are coordinated with your flight schedule, and the driver meets you at the arrivals hall.

You may arrive earlier in Rome or stay later in Venice at your own expense. The tour operator can help you book additional nights at the same or comparable hotels, but those extra nights are not covered by the tour price and must be paid separately.

Citizens of many countries can travel visa‑free in the Schengen Area for up to 90 days, which includes Italy. Check the current Schengen visa list for your nationality. If your country requires a visa, you must obtain it before departure; the tour itself does not provide visa assistance.

Passports must be valid for at least three months beyond your planned exit date from the Schengen Area and must have been issued within the last ten years. Some nationalities may have additional entry requirements, so verify with your local consulate before traveling.

Travel insurance is not compulsory for this tour, but it is advisable. Recommended coverage includes medical expenses of at least €30,000, emergency evacuation, trip cancellation, and loss of personal belongings. Some visa‑free travelers are asked to present proof of such insurance at border control.

The itinerary is family‑friendly. Walking distances are moderate, attractions are open and accessible, and there are several open squares where children can move freely. While the program does not list specific child‑only activities, the guide can suggest nearby parks or museums that cater to younger travelers.

Each day involves 3‑5 km of walking on mostly paved streets, with occasional stairs and short inclines. A moderate fitness level is sufficient; participants should be comfortable walking for 4‑5 hours per day and be able to manage brief uphill sections.

Solo travelers are welcome. The tour is organized as a private group, typically limited to a small number of participants, and can accommodate single occupancy. A single‑occupancy supplement may apply, but the guide provides the same level of personalized attention to all guests.

In Rome you will see the Trevi Fountain, Pantheon and Piazza Navona. In Florence the guide leads you through the Duomo, Piazza della Signoria, Santa Croce Square and across the Ponte Vecchio. In Venice the tour includes St. Mark’s Square, Doge’s Palace and the Bridge of Sighs.

Yes. Each city includes a few hours of free time—typically after lunch in Rome, late afternoon in Florence, and before dinner in Venice—allowing you to explore museums, shop, or simply relax at your own pace.

For first‑time visitors, the tour offers a structured yet flexible itinerary that covers the three most iconic Italian cities, includes an English‑speaking guide, and removes the need to arrange transport between them. It is a solid option if you prefer a guided framework while still having some free time.

Travelers who want a cultural immersion in Italy’s historic centres without handling logistics themselves benefit most. Families, couples, and small groups who appreciate daily guided walks, pre‑booked accommodation and coordinated transport find the most value.

Booking the tour secures professional local guides, coordinated high‑speed transfers, and centrally located hotels at a fixed price. Planning the same itinerary on your own requires separate bookings for hotels, tickets and transport, which can be time‑consuming and often more expensive once taxes and service fees are added.

Check that your passport meets Schengen validity rules, arrange travel insurance, confirm flight times for the included airport transfers, and pack comfortable walking shoes. Review the itinerary for optional meals or activities you may want to add, and inform the operator of any dietary restrictions or special needs.

The €1,662.36 price includes eight nights of mid‑range hotels, an English guide, breakfast and all intercity transport. When you add the average cost of three nights in each city, high‑speed train tickets and a private guide, the total can exceed €2,500 if booked separately, making the tour price competitive.
