I T A L I A - THE COUNTRY OF LOVE

TOURING - This Beautiful Country is todays Blog..

Italy is a must-see Country and is one of the most travelled destinations in Europe!

There are so many reasons why! There are so many highlights of this beautiful Country which I wanted to share here to inspire you to visit Italy at some point whether this year or next, whether you want to get on a Gondola down the canal in Venice to the Tuscan wine land and sample some fine wine! The cobblestone streets of Rome to the Arno River that runs through Florence or the picture postcard view of the stunning town of Positano which is Instagram worthy! Sorrento and Capri there is so much to Italy I would recommend a short tour or even a self-drive, if not a multi city holiday.

Italy not only has good food, culture, and fantastic ice-cream the Men were very easy on the eye too! The Italians are so friendly so what’s not to love about the Country of love… But don’t take my word for it …Go to Italy and find out!

I have visited the cities of Rome and Venice and loved them both. To do Italy properly it is worth travelling around and, in this Blog, I wanted to share a couple of great options of a couple of tours which have been rated highly by our customers so wanted to share them with you.

Florence Is always a favourite city because of the architecture and of course natural beauty! The sun setting over the Arno River is one setting you won’t forget! Rome for me was one of the iconic and is still one of the most travelled cities in the Europe, you can spend days getting lost in this fab city! The most picturesque spot in Italy for me has got to be Positano and I often share this photo on my social media! This is a real Gem and very Instagram worthy! This is the most picturesque and most romantic town in all of Italy, but this is just my opinion!

WHY A TOUR…?

Why a tour I hear you ask...? well unless you want to drive around Italy which again is another great option and one, I can also arrange. But with a tour this is great for couples, or singles or retired couples as you will have a local guide who have hands on experience of the destination and will include some amazing experiences for the group to enjoy which could be making your own pasta in Italy. I find with a tour you cover so much more of a country in a shorter time but for me it is much more educational and interesting with a knowledgeable guide sharing off the beaten track knowledge!

My memories as a child was touring as a family self-driving and my uncle making me read the travel guide on the way to where we are visiting and my uncle would then ask me a question about the site we were visiting to test my knowledge so I really enjoyed this and this is the beauty of touring with a guide you learn things you necessarily wouldn’t of known!

With Travelsphere one of our close partners they offer small groups, 4-5 * Hotels which are hand picked by them, Guaranteed departure meaning your tour will go ahead! With an organised tour you can sit back on the coach and take in this breath taking country while someone else does all the driving leaving you to take in the landscape. If you want to add on to your tour that is possible too with my help, as well as staying on longer, I can arrange that for you. You can also upgrade your flights and can also add on extra tours!! This is also a very family friendly way of travelling too...

WHAT ABOUT SOLO'S..?

Yes, we have “just you” tours especially for solos in mind where you can meet like minded people and meet some new friends, also they are now offering new selected tours for Women Only for those women who would like to experience the world in the company of other like-minded women… If you want to experience all of Italy and the different cultural experiences then the best tour, I recommend is this Grand Tour of Italy this will cover the best of Italy and is an amazing trip, from customers who have done this trip have raved about this trip so I will put this as a number one tour to do if you can! This is a 15-day tour starting in the beautiful city of Venice and then you will end your tour on Sicily nicely with the epic view of Mount Etna! Here you can choose to stay on longer or head home.

WHAT IS INCLUDED IN YOUR TOUR..?
