What people love about South Italy Tours for Young Adults
- Amalfi Coast Experience
My cousin and I had the most amazing time traveling around Rome and the Amalfi Coast. We had an amazing guide and tour group. Jess was so informative, knowledgable, and hilarious. We have all stayed in contact and have become great friends. It was beautiful and I would definitely recommend Italy on a Budget to anyone traveling around Italy!! That's the dream!! :)
- Rome to Amalfi Coast - 7 Days/6 Nights
My guides: Antonio, Emma. My travel experience with them was the best I’ve ever had- extremely helpful and knowledgeable of Italian history, culture, and store/restaurant recommendations. Great communication from them in terms of logistics as well. Hit a solid balance between group time and time for individual roaming in the many areas I toured. I traveled by myself on this tour and immediately felt welcomed and comfortable. Great value for the money; I can’t recommend this tour and these guides enough.
The tour was good. We were fortunate to have been allocated with knowledgable tour guides. Response time could be improve. Overall, it was really good and highly recommended.
The Best of Rome
