What our customers ask about Budget Tours & Trips to Greece and Italy
What are the best budget-friendly areas to visit in Greece and Italy?
For travelers looking to stretch their euros mainland Greek destinations such as Meteora Delphi and Kalambaka provide better value than the islands. In Italy the southern regions including Puglia and the Naples area cost less than tourist hotspots like Venice or Florence. Recent TourRadar travelers note: "The mainland Greece portions of our tour were not only less expensive but offered incredible experiences like the monasteries of Meteora. Puglia in Italy was a hidden gem with amazing food at half the price of Rome."
When is the most affordable time to visit Greece and Italy on a budget tour?
Plan your trip during shoulder season (March-May or September-October) to find prices 20-30% lower than summer peak rates. This applies to everything from tours to accommodation in popular spots like Santorini and Rome. A TourRadar traveler shares: "We traveled in early October and got great weather plus better deals on everything from tours to restaurants with far fewer crowds at major attractions."
Are entrance fees to major attractions included in budget tours to Greece and Italy?
Most budget tours cover entry to key sites such as the Meteora Monasteries Delphi Archaeological site and Pompeii ruins. Europamundo tours for example include admission fees worth over 100 USD in their packages. Some optional sites like the Acropolis in Athens (about 20 USD) may need separate tickets. From a TourRadar traveler: "Having most entrance fees included was great for budgeting we only needed extra money for a few optional sites."
What type of accommodation can I expect on budget tours through Greece and Italy?
Budget tours typically place guests in 3-4 star hotels near public transport routes. Some examples include the Novotel Athenes in Athens or the IH Roma Z3 in Rome. A TourRadar traveler reports: "Overall we were extremely happy with the accommodations they were clean and comfortable with good transport links to city centers." Rooms come with private bathrooms and basic amenities though air conditioning availability varies by season.
What's the average daily budget I should plan for meals not included in Greece and Italy tours?
Set aside 30-45 USD daily for meals outside the tour package. Greek taverna meals typically cost 15-20 USD while Italian pizza and pasta dishes run 10-15 USD. According to a TourRadar traveler: "Local restaurants in both countries offer good value especially if you venture slightly away from tourist hotspots. We found plenty of authentic places serving large portions at reasonable prices."
