Italy Tour for a Lesson in Italy Culture
Italy is a beautiful country to visit as well as being historical. You’ll see sites and buildings that go back for many centuries. It’s a picture of heritage and culture like no other country. Located in Southern Europe, it includes both Sardinia and Sicily. Some of the interesting neighboring countries are Switzerland, Austria, Slovenia and France. If you are interested in chartering a tour to Italy, many travel agencies can help you. Most of these Italy tours will include many cities and regions of the country where you can learn a lot about the culture and history of Italy.
Travel Arrangements
Finding an airline to get you to Italy shouldn’t be a problem since most of the major airlines will fly you from the United State to Italy. Alitalia is the official Italian airline and they will fly you to Italy from other countries besides the United States. If a tour is what you’re planning, it will be your choice what airlines you use. The airline you choose will depend on the cost, quality and flight connections offered by each. Most of the airlines will be competitive with each other so you should be able to get a good price. Although you’ll need a passport to get into Italy from America or Canada, you won’t need a visa unless you are planning to stay longer than 90 days.
Things to Consider Before Booking Your Tour
Weather will probably play a factor in when you take your tour to Italy. If you enjoy the very hot days of summer, you’ll want to tour Italy in the summer months. However, if the extreme heat bothers you, the April through May and September and October are ideal months for touring Italy. Many activities you may wish to do will be inconvenient in the hot months. One example is bicycle touring. Italy is a country that you will love seeing while on a bicycle and many bicycle-touring companies will set you up on one of their group tours.
Lodging and Transportation In Italy
Another consideration for your Italy tour is where you’ll stay and how you’ll get around the city. You will not find a shortage of places to stay as there are many. They offer many establishments from bed and breakfasts and inns to five star hotels. You’ll find cheaper prices with lower rated hostels and pensions than in exclusive hotels. A lot has to do with what you are looking for and how far your budget will stretch. You’ll have no problem getting around in Italy, as there are many modes of transportation available. You have trains, boats, subways, rental cars and bicycles.

Good Article. Travellers might like to know it is possible to stay in a unique form of Italian accommodation – a monastery or covent guest house. A friend recommended I try them on my trip to Sicily in October. I found a great website http://www.monasterystays.com. It is an on-line booking service and it was easy to make a series of bookings all over Sicily in one go. I’d recommend checking the website out.
Great post! I lived in Italy on and off for about 4 years, and spent a lot of my free time touring different Italian cities and towns. I agree that one of the best ways to see Italy is by touring Italy by bicycle. I still try to do a bike tour through southern Italy every year, but don’t discourage people from touring in the summer. It’s hot, but if you tour in the Dolomites or the Apennines it will be much cooler. Another option is to tour along the coast and make a lot of stops to swim in the sea. Another big advantage of touring the Italian coast on a bike is that you’ll find more campgrounds this way. If you want to tour the warmer areas in the summer, I suggest planning your bike rides for the early morning hours before it heats up. Get to the place where you’ll spend the night, and use the warm afternoons for siteseeing. Touring Club Italia makes great maps for bike touring. Just get the map of the area you want to tour, and look for the secondary roads for the best scenery and the least traffic.
good touring bicycle post, however, i should learn more about it…
