frequently asked questions.
Still have a question? Our team can talk through your trip and your circumstances.
Speak to an expertQuite a lot — Rome, Florence and Venice are best seen on foot, and most days include a few hours of walking on cobbled streets. Comfortable shoes matter more than anything else you pack.
Yes. Each city has at least one free afternoon or evening, and your tour manager is happy to suggest restaurants, galleries and quieter corners.
Yes — many of our group travellers book on their own. You can share a twin room with another solo traveller of the same gender, or pay a single supplement for a room to yourself.
Message our team with your preferred date. A deposit secures your place, and the balance is typically due eight weeks before departure. We’ll confirm everything in writing before you pay.
Departures run with a minimum of 10 travellers. If a date hasn’t reached that, we’ll let you know well in advance and offer another date, a different trip or a full refund.
Yes. We can add nights at the start or end of the trip and adjust your flights to match — just ask when you book.
