Can anyone recommend a reputable tour company in Italy for my upcoming vacation in Rome, Venice, and Florence?

Question

Traveling to Italy mid-March 2007 - 3 days in Rome, 2 days in Venice, 2 days in Florence and would like to start booking tours but am having a difficult time deciding on which tour "company" to book with. I'd like to stick with the same company for booking tours in all 3 locations in Italy if possible.

Answer 1

This tour company is great and ideal for those travelling between the ages of 18 and 35.  They're high energy, exciting and don't miss a thing.  You'll learn so much and enjoy yourself in the process.  They're called Contiki Tours.  Check out the link I provided.  I had the opportunity to play a soccer game against their Italian tour crew in Florence a year and a half back when I studied in Italy.  Fun group of people.  They even have a specific tour generated for Rome, Venice & Florence so look for that.  Enjoy!!

Answer 2

If you want to have s*x with a different person every night and spend half your trip hanging over a toilet, go with the suggestion above me.  Have you considered booking a Rick Steve's tour?  His guidebooks are great (especially for first-time visitors) and you never have to worry about getting good value for your money- he really knows how to stretch your travel dollar.  However, he only does full-package tours that include everything and are on set schedules.  If you're planning to book your own domestic travel and accommodation, you'd be better off investing in a few good guidebooks and just showing yourself around the cities you want to visit.  Trust me, I MOVED to Italy with five days notice and no knowledge of Italian... you can definitely plan your own city sightseeing tours!
