A great trip, well worth doing. The first day is relatively hard but after that most days were very manageable of around 4 to 5 hours. In the most part the hotels were very conveniently located. The bag pick up and drop off worked perfectly and were waiting at each of our daily destinations without fail. The scenery was magnificent. Tuscany was great and the small villages that you passed through were picture postcard. Loved it.

We loved our walk through the Tuscan hills and gorgeous old towns. It was great to have our bags ready at each hotel and to not have to worry about where we were going to stay.

An unforgettable winter adventure

The Dolomites are a beautiful region and this trip is a fun way to explore it by skii. The itinerary struck a perfect balance between physical activity and relaxation. Each day offered scenic ski routes through pristine, snow-covered landscapes—peaceful forests, frozen lakes, and charming alpine villages. Our guide Michele was not only highly skilled and knowledgeable about the terrain but also enthusiastic and encouraging, making the experience enjoyable for skiers of all levels. Whether you were a first-timer or an experienced skier, you felt supported and challenged in all the right ways. The hotel was cozy and we ate delicious meals—exactly what you want after a day on the trails.

About 1/2 of the walking legs were too far. I think 6 to 8 miles per day is optimum. Two of the stays were not hotels but rather rooms with no reception. I prefer a small hotel with a receptionist.

A Magical Two Weeks

A well planned itinerary circumnavigating the island to visit the major sites with the odd dart inland for even more. The minibus was comfortable, as were the hotels, which came in a variety of sizes and styles that added to the experience. Most were right in the heart of their communities, so there was never far to walk for sightseeing or amenities, such as restaurants. Apart from a brief period of Saharan wind and sand, we had perfect weather for sightseeing, sunny but not too hot. We enjoyed everywhere we went.

A fabulous trip made better by an outstanding leader!

I joined this itinerary in April 2025 and was utterly blown away by the locations visited. Matera was stunning, Lecce's winding streets were beautiful with gems hidden round every corner, We stayed in a traditional Trulli house which was a personal highlight for me!

Top tour activities in Italy

Italy offers an incredible variety of activities for every traveler. History enthusiasts can dive into cultural tours, exploring landmarks like Venice’s Doge’s Palace, Rome’s ancient Forum, and the preserved ruins of Pompeii. Outdoor adventurers can hike the Dolomites, follow the historic Appian Way, or cycle scenic trails from mountain paths to Roman roads. Those seeking a leisurely holiday experience can embark on cruise tours, effortlessly traveling between Venice, Rome, and Naples. Food lovers can indulge in authentic Neapolitan pizza, sip limoncello on the Amalfi Coast, or savor balsamic vinegar in Modena on food tours. Whatever your passion, Italy offers an unforgettable experience.

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. If booking through Bookmundi, your tour is already carbon-offset, and you can further offset your flights with airlines like Emirates.
