What people love about South Italy Tours for Young Adults
- Amalfi Coast Experience - Small Group Tour
Guides were excellent and showed us amazing places to eat and drink throughout the tour. All locations visited were amazing, especially Capri Island. Accommodation was not the greatest, however this may be necessary to keep the price of the tour to a minimum. Overall, an excellent tour to see southern Italy with informative and fun guides, highly recommended.
- Rome to Amalfi Coast - 7 Days/6 Nights
Paula our guide was fantastic. She had a great attitude and was very informative, welcoming and generous. I enjoyed the tour very much, it was a group of 5 so I found the tour group to be very chill. I would most likely tour with this company again when I have the chance. Highly recommend.
- Rome City Break - 3 Days/2 Nights
((REVIEW IS FOR VENICE CITY BREAK, WHICH WAS NOT LISTED AS AN OPTION)) I (32 year old solo male traveler from NJ, USA, attorney by trade) had the distinct pleasure of dealing with Veronica from Italy on a Budget when I travelled to Italy this past July/August 2021. She was personable, knowledgeable, above-and-beyond helpful, responsive, and was absolutely instrumental in making my Italian vacation as great as it was. Before my trip, she helped as I had to reshuffle my plans due to my changing personal calendar as well as the effect of Covid on travel, and she patiently answered all of my questions over the phone and via chat in a straightforward manner. I also had various specific requests of how I wanted my trip to be personalized (adding certain activities to the itinerary, adding a day, upgrading my hostel stay), and she was able to complete every one. While in Italy, she kept in contact with me to ensure that I was happy with the trip, and she even provided helpful tips when I independently travelled to other parts of Italy outside of my Italy on a Budget itinerary. She deserves a 12/10. I cannot recommend her highly enough.
