Ah Italy…known as the epitome of la dolce vita (the good life)! From the modern hustle and ancient ruins of Rome to the entrepreneurial spirit of Milan. . . from the culinary flavors of Northern Italy to the southern splendors along the romantic Mediterranean coast . . . Italy is a living, breathing art class, history lesson and cookbook all rolled into one.
So how can you enjoy all that Italy has to offer without breaking the bank?
Deals, Deals, Deals abound…
Lucky for most of us non-trust fund babies or celebrities…deals, deals, deals abound in today’s travel market – the question is: How do you know you’re getting the best value? The simple answer…packaging via a tour operator that specializes in travel to Italy. These travel pros offer real life experience and personal insight into in each city, town, and seaside village in Italy for the most alluring and in-depth vacation experiences. They can save you lots of time and headaches, plus they know what is a good value and what is not…because as we all know, the cheapest price is NOT always the best value.
Savings of 20-50%…
A vacation package to Italy is by far the best money-saving option that basically “packages” the various elements of your trip….air, lodging, transfers, meals, excursions, transportation, etc…for a budget friendly total that can save you anywhere from 20-50 percent on your Italy vacation package.
Plus, these programs offer lots of choices too. Don’t be surprised to find an escorted motorcoach tour to Italy that already includes everything you are longing to experience. These types of Italy vacation packages are chock-full of inclusions and bonus sightseeing that can effectively stretch your travel dollars even further.
Hundreds of Dollars in Bonus Inclusions…
For example, Italy specialty tour operator Central Holidays offers Premier Motorcoach Escorted Tours in Italy that include international air, centrally located Italy hotels, transfers, transportation via deluxe air-conditioned motorcoach as well as: most meals (breakfast daily – plus many lunches and dinners) served in hotels and local restaurants; wine, coffee or cappuccino and mineral water at lunch and dinner are included in the tour price; sightseeing (as detailed in each itinerary) is included in the tour package price as well as bonus touring. These inclusions booked as part of your Italy vacation package save you hundreds of dollars per person right off the bat!
If you prefer to travel more independently, you can ask for a “hosted” Italy travel package. With a hosted program your tour operator books all the essentials of your trip based on your personal vacation itinerary and you set the pace (no pre-arranged schedule…you travel on your won but with the main components such as lodging, air, and car packaged for you). They offer significantly reduced pre-negotiated rates on accommodations, air, transfers, car rentals, rail tickets, attractions, etc. You book the elements you desire as part of your Italy vacation package and pay for them prior to your departure in US dollars so that there are no surprises! All you have to do is relax and enjoy yourself. If you have any questions about sightseeing, shopping, dining, excursions, or any particular personal interests, Local Hosts in Italy are there to help you along your travels.
For Italy Hotels Think Location, Location, Location…
Pre-booking these key elements with your Italy specialist is also a great way of ensuring that you are getting a value for your dollar. For example location can be a wallet buster if you are unsure of where you are booking. If you’re saving $50 a night on a hotel but it is not centrally located and need to spend $60 in taxis, plus a few hours in “transit,” that hotel is not a bargain. Your Italy vacation package provider books your Italy hotels and lodging options with your feedback and budget in mind. They know where the hotels are located and probably even know the best rooms as well as other money saving info such as: do they include a breakfast, etc.
Maximize Your Budget by Extending your Stay…
Another excellent way of maximizing your travel budget is actually by extending your stay. Since you are already paying for the international air, consider coming in a few days earlier to enjoy the area before your itinerary commences or stay longer after your tour. You might also opt for a rental car (book this from home because it’s cheaper to do in advance) or take a train to another city (Rome, Florence, etc.) or region where you can spend a couple of days. The trains in Italy are modern, fast, easy to utilize, and quite economical.
Cooking Classes…Villas and Castles…Endless Options…
Beyond the Italy vacation packages mentioned above, there are also lots of great special interest programs that you can consider that will have you living it up like a diva without shelling out mega cash…like a hands-on cooking course in Italy; featuring delectable meals and succulent wine tastings in captivating surroundings; or you can live like a local with a stay in a villa or castle of your own. Opting for an Italy vacation package gives you a virtually endless range of options that can make your ultimate trip dream come true…even on a budget.
