Italy on Your Own

For independent travel, groups and family travel, accommodating special needs, the savvy traveler that knows what they need but requires assistance in planning, reservations and coordination.

We will be glad to help you plan your dream vacation to Italy.

You have many choices of how to put your dream vacation together, such as:

• A planned escorted tour by train or bus with a group of your peers.
• Visit the library or a bookstore and research your destination of choice. By the way did you ever see so many experts and authors of different books on the same subject? Will one author recommend the same as the next? Who do you believe?
• Talk to your friends, relatives or neighbors who have been "there" and can tell you all about the local restaurants, where to get shopping bargains and so on.
• Surf the Web! With the marvels of electronic research available at your fingertips it is possible to explore the world of travel to strange and distant lands. What could be more fun than doing it all yourself?

Or you could work with a travel professional with representatives in the country you're going to.

Will you pay more for this professional service than if you did it yourself? You might, but on the other hand you probably won't. You could end up saving money on your flights, hotels, touring, car rentals, etc. and have someone that will represent you at home and abroad.

What you want to do is to make sure you get what you thought you were getting. You've spent hundreds, perhaps thousands of dollars on your dream vacation and some of the pitfalls you can encounter are:
• Who are you going to call when the car rental company is located 10 miles from the airport and you have to take a taxi to get there?
• What happens if you don't speak the language at your hotel and no one there speaks yours?
• The hotel looked five stars great in the photos and it was, twenty years ago.
• You go on an overnight tour to visit Pompeii and you're the only one on the bus that speaks English, but it was a bargain, half the price of what your travel professional recommended.

Let us know your needs and we'll reply to you in most cases within 48 hours with an estimated cost.
