  • H

    Holly

    Asked on September 17th, 2025

    Can I ask what's the difference with the 5 day city brake? Is there an option to see Pisa?

    Tour Details
    • Carrani ToursOperatorWritten September 2025

      The 5-day tour is an escorted tour, which means you will have a tour leader with you at all times. As for Pisa, the tour is sold separately by the tour leader while you're on the tour. The Pisa excursion is available at an additional cost of €60 per person.

    • H

      Holly

      TravelerWritten September 2025

      Is the Pisa tour additional part of the tour, i.e.can I stop a short while during the tour somewhere near Florence for Pisa and rejoin the group after? Or is it a separate tour from the 5 day city break tour?

    • Carrani ToursOperatorWritten September 2025

      The Pisa tour is booked directly through the tour leader when you have free time in Florence. You can either take a tour in Florence, or your tour leader will book the Pisa excursion for you and provide all the necessary information.

  • L

    Lori

    Asked on August 22nd, 2025

    Can you provide more details as to the specific Rome departure and arrival locations/hotels and times? This can aid us in determining a suitable hotel for our pre and post tour stays, hopefully close to the central Rome train station. Also, we have some among us who have dietary restrictions/allergies. How do you handle this for provided meals? Can you also provide us with the planned hotels in Florence and Venice that we would stay?

    Accommodation
    Meals
    Tour Details
    • Carrani ToursOperatorWritten August 2025

      As a reference, you would likely stay in Hotel Raffaello in Florence (or similar) and BB Laguna in Venice (or similar). In Rome, the tour starts on March 16, 2026, from Hotel St. Martin, and if you wish, you can book the night before directly with us at this hotel. It is conveniently located near the central train station, making it easy for your pre-tour stay. Regarding dietary restrictions or allergies, there is no problem. Please let us know in advance, and we will inform the hotels so they can accommodate your needs.

      William

      TravelerWritten July 2025

      Can I fly in on the morning of the 21st, or do I need to arrive the night before? Also, can I leave on the 25th itself, or should I plan to leave on the 26th?

    • Carrani ToursOperatorWritten July 2025

      You'll need to be ready by 7:00 AM on the morning of the 21st, so we recommend arriving the day before (on the 20th). The tour ends around 6:00 PM on the 25th, so you can plan to leave that evening, or more comfortably on the 26th.

    • W

      William

      TravelerWritten July 2025

      If I come in earlier like the 20th and stay a day later like till the 26th will I need to book my own accommodation?

    • Carrani ToursOperatorWritten July 2025

      We can book the hotel for you for both nights, the price per night would be 295 euro (double room for use single). The hotel is hotel St Martin or similar.
