What people love about Budget Tours in Italy
- AMALFI & TUSCANY - 7DAYS/6NIGHTS
My wife and I did the Amalfi Coast and Tuscany 7 days/6 nights tour and had a magnificent time. This included Pompeii archeological visit, 3 nights in Sorrento where we toured the island of Capri, the towns on the Amalfi coast and spent our evenings in downtown Sorrento, After that we had great walking tours of Napoli, Our tour leader for the first half, Carlo, was fantastic (and was always willing to answer my questions about how to say certain things in Italian as I had been studying for months). We then picked up our next tour leader Ned in Florence. Ned provided a great walking tour in Florence, then led us to the second part of the vacation in Tuscany. The second half of the trip was more self-guided and just knowing when to hit the next shuttle. Altogether, this was a nice blend of crazy/gogogo and relaxation. Our accommodations in Florence and Tuscany were top notch (both with good, free breakfast). If there was a drawback, it was probably the campground in Sorrento. it wasn't bad (The AC and shower in the tiny cabins were both excellent), but was a little more rustic than we had in mind. we were lucky that as a couple we got to stay together while other singles were paired together without really getting to know one another quite yet. If you're ok for that type of adventure, then it's great, but could be awkward. Full disclosure, we were a bit older than most of the group too. Also, we heard so much about the "private beach" at the campground, but it closed early and we never really got to enjoy it after long days of walking in the sun). Also, there seemed to be a little miscommunication early on about what was included and what was "extra" during the tour as different groups did different things. But this was all worked out quickly and did not create any undue stress. I think it would also be nice if the tour pick up and drop offs in Florence were at the train station when everyone can more easily arrange their travel. In general, this tour had amazing scenery, wine and food and we have memories for a lifetime. I would recommend this company for sure and will check them out again if we get to go back someday.
- Rome, Florence & Venice
Giuseppe our tour guide was Excellent! He was very organized, his communication of English is outstanding. I was most impressed with his seamles improvisational skills in those days the weather did not cooperate he made the day effortlessly fun! He certainly made my vacation very memorable.

What our customers ask about Budget Tours to Italy
What is the average daily budget I can expect for budget tours in Italy?
Budget tours in Italy cost between $140-400 USD per day with most options falling around $230-270 USD daily. This covers your accommodation daily transportation between cities guided activities and some meals. The Mamma Mia tour serves as a good example at $269 USD per day with stays at properties like Hotel Villa Diodoro in Taormina and centrally located hostels in Rome. As one TourRadar traveler noted: "Italy on a Budget did a great job planning... we saw landmarks cities & enjoyed experiencing every part of their culture while keeping costs reasonable."
What are the most budget-friendly regions to visit in Italy?
The south of Italy offers better value than its northern counterparts. Places like Puglia Sicily and Campania provide more affordable options for food lodging and daily activities compared to destinations like Venice or Milan. Lesser-known Tuscan towns such as San Gimignano and Siena present good alternatives to pricier tourist spots. As one TourRadar traveler shared: "The South was amazing value - the food was cheaper and more authentic the people were friendly and there were fewer tourists."
When is the most affordable time to visit Italy while still enjoying good weather?
Moving away from major tourist hubs can lead to significant savings. Regions like Puglia Calabria and Sicily deliver authentic experiences at lower prices. Cities such as Bologna and Naples offer similar cultural richness as Rome or Florence but at reduced rates. A TourRadar traveler confirms: "Bologna was a highlight - amazing food beautiful architecture and much more affordable than the bigger tourist cities." These destinations also tend to be less crowded allowing for more genuine local interactions.
What meals are typically included in budget Italy tours?
Budget tours generally cover daily breakfast and select group meals. The Mamma Mia tour for instance provides welcome dinners in Rome buffet aperitivo in Florence and wine tastings in Tuscany. You'll need to budget around $30-50 USD daily for non-included meals which gives you freedom to explore local dining spots. As one TourRadar traveler noted: "The included welcome dinners were great for meeting the group while having free meals let us explore local spots recommended by our guide."
Are entrance fees to major attractions included in budget tour prices?
While some entrance fees come with the tour package many major sites require extra payment. The Colosseum costs about $20 USD Vatican Museums $25 USD and Uffizi Gallery $30 USD as additional expenses. Some packages like the Ultimate Italian Adventure do include entry to places like St. Mark's Basilica in Venice. A TourRadar traveler suggests: "The basic entrance fees were covered but popular museums and special exhibits were extra - budget about $100-150 USD for additional attractions you want to visit."
