What people love about South Italy Tours for Young Adults
- Amalfi Coast Experience - Small Group Tour
It was a short but sweet tour. Since it was a budget tour the food options seemed a bit compromised but on request we were able to upgrade. The stops in some of the places seemed to be short on time but that's the best possible in the available time A recommended tour for a sampling of this wonderful region of Italy. Will make you want to come back for more!
- Rome to Amalfi Coast - 7 Days/6 Nights
Definitely recommend this tour if you want to see all of southern Italy and fit in so many places and sight seeing!
- European Adventurer (Plus, Start London)
I knew Contiki would be great, but I didn't realise how much our tour guide would contribute to the experience. Chris was amazing; so knowledgable and so entertaining. It wouldn't have been the same without him.
