Italian culture, art, architecture, music, and food has made Italy so enticing in the eyes of travellers. Boasting rich culture heritage picturesque landscapes Italy is easily a favourite among solo travellers couples and groups of friends. So, what is the best way to see as much as possible of this beautiful country? Well, I would recommend hands down a tour. I'm an independent or solo traveller I hear you say, but have you ever really looked at what a group tour can offer and the benefits. One of the most wonderful companies I recommend is Travelsphere, they have a superb itinerary which encompasses the very best of Italy on the ‘Grand Tour of Italy’ this will take you to

So, when is the best time to visit Italy, I hear you ask. Well Italy is an all-year-round destination, but if I were to choose the best month to travel, I would choose September the crowds have subsided, but you will still have beautiful weather.

So, what are the advantages of travelling as part of a group with Travelsphere and Just You Holidays, I recently went on a touring holiday as a solo traveller, and I must admit I did have reservations as to travelling with other people that I didnt know, I also like to think of myself as an independent traveller, doing what I want, when I want, but I can honestly say hand on heart it was one of the best experiences I have had in my 43 years of being a Personal Travel Advisor. The friendships I made, not having to find my way around, and worrying about missing the best bits, being able to access the sites without queueing for hours, the immersive experience the tour had planned that I would never been able to arrange myself, the value for money it saved me a fortune compared to what I would have spent traveling independently, It was the most wonderful experience and I can't wait to do it all over again !!

1. You get to see so much more than you ever would travelling independently.

2. You get to travel with like-minded people, it's safe, comfortable and stress free and whether you are travelling as a solo traveller or a couple or as a group of friends it's the perfect way to travel.

6. The Travelsphere Holiday director is a font of knowledge on Italy, you will learn so much more than if you must keep stopping to read snippets from your Travel Guidebook.

7. You won't have to worry about getting from city to city it's all taken care of you just sit back relax, take in the view chat to new friends you've made along the way or even take a nap while someone else does all the driving.
