Italy Tour Reviews

Honest insights from past guests on our Italy tours

Tomaso F. | Traveled in October

be prepared for a very busy schedule. this is not a trip to sit back and relax. it is a trip to see a vast majority of Italy. There are a couple of days to slow down a bit but that is not the norm. I enjoyed every single day. Don’t forget to bring at least 2 pairs of comfortable shoes. Trust me. You will need them.

We saw SO MUCH, and learned so much from our exceptional guides. Especially our private tour guide, Cristo Colopi. An effortless trip-Cristo and Insight took care of everything and we just enjoyed!

This is a great way to see most highlights of Italy! However it is very fast paced and little down time. I wish Hotels had been more central city so could walk to near by restaurants and shops on some free time it was either a taxi ride back to town or a very long walk.

Victoria T. | Traveled in October

It included the most representative locations to get a feel of Italian culture and history during an 11 day tour. Loved the additional excursions which added a local perspective from very knowledgeable guides. Our travel director Cristiano, was excellent, knowledgeable and personable and ensured our wellbeing for all aspects of the trip. It was our first trip to Italy and we believe we selected the best tour to explore It and all of its wonders. We will return in the future.

This is one of my favourite tours so far. Sicily is an island full of adventure and the tour allows you to dip in. The pace is great, not too fast but we covered lots of ground. Everything was made easy thanks to our fabulous guide Antongullio who looked after us all. Nothing was too much trouble. We started in Palermo which is the most incredible city; full of historic palaces with breathtaking mosaics, chaotic streets, markets bursting with colour and local produce, food of such variety and fabulous ice cream! On to the middle of the island and the anti-mafia museum which was so humbling and brought the challenge to life. Wine makers, tomato growers, farm houses, food and greetings everywhere ending up in Ortiga with more beauty and history. This is my first trip to Sicily but it certainly will not be my last. Ive read Giorgio Locatelli's Made in Sicily book with a greater understanding since Ive been home and cant wait to return.

James | Traveled in October

Our tour leader was amazing. Sanse (probably incorrect spelling) was very knowledgeable and did a great job organizing the daily activities. She made sure our group was well informed and knew what to expect before each activity. The dinners were excellent and accommodation very comfortable. Would highly recommend this tour.

Top tour activities in Italy

Italy offers an incredible variety of activities for every traveler.

Outdoor adventurers can hike the Dolomites, follow the historic Appian Way, or cycle scenic trails from mountain paths to Roman roads.

Food lovers can indulge in authentic Neapolitan pizza, sip limoncello on the Amalfi Coast, or savor balsamic vinegar in Modena on food tours.

Best time to travel to Italy

The best time to visit Italy is between the months of April and June as well as from September to October. The weather on the Italian Peninsula during these months is ideal for sightseeing tours, hiking, and exploring treasures stretching from Palermo to the lagoons of Venice. Traveling to Italy during July and August is avoided by many because of the summer heat and crowds, while the period between November to March sees the fewest visitors in big cities. However, these months coincide with the prime skiing season in the Alps, while southern parts of Italy, such as Sicily, remain relatively warm during this time of year.

Optimal duration to explore Italy

The duration of your vacation in Italy depends on the ground you want to cover. It is possible to enjoy a city break in Rome that lasts just three days, while one week in Italy will give you the chance to tick the country’s top sights off your bucket list, be it the countryside around Tuscany or the highlights of Florence. However, we recommend Italy trips of no less than ten days. This will allow you to take in the country’s iconic landmarks as well as explore off-the-beaten-track destinations, such as the medieval hamlet of Barbarano Romano, the Dolomites, and Mantua in the Lombardy region. In two weeks, you can add Sicily to your itinerary.

Best beaches in Italy

Italy's extensive coastline offers a plethora of stunning beaches. On the eastern coast, Marina di Vasto in Abruzzo boasts broad sandy shores lined with palm trees, ideal for family outings. Along the Amalfi Coast, Spiaggia del Fornillo in Positano provides a quieter alternative to busier spots, nestled amidst dramatic scenery. Near Rome, Anzio offers golden sands and historical significance, being a notable World War II site.

Packing essentials for a trip to Italy

When packing for Italy, prioritize comfort and practicality. Opt for comfortable walking shoes to navigate cobblestone streets. Dress in smart casual attire to blend with locals and ensure access to religious sites, where modest clothing is required. A versatile scarf can be useful for covering shoulders when needed. Pack weather-appropriate layers: lightweight fabrics for summer, and warmer clothing for cooler months. Don't forget essentials like a hat, sunglasses, sunscreen, and insect repellent. An umbrella and a waterproof jacket are advisable for unexpected rain. Remember to bring a Type C plug adapter for your electronics.

Sustainable travel practices when visiting Italy

Traveling sustainably in Italy is easy and rewarding. The country’s efficient and fast trains make it easy to opt out of flights or car rentals to reduce your carbon footprint. Support environmental initiatives like Legambiente, which promotes green policies across Italy.
