- Dominique· August 25th, 2025A really amazing tour with a great balance of planned events and free-time. I truly felt like I saw everything I wanted and experienced Italy the way I was hoping without rushing around. Our Tour Leader Grazia was super friendly, flexible, helpful, knowledgeable and made the experience so stress-free and fun, would definitely recommend!Show more
- Laura· August 25th, 2025I really enjoyed my time on this tour. Having Giovanni as our guide really added to the experience. His knowledge and insight allowed me to experience the south of italy in a way I would have never been able to ok my own. The wonderful recommendations that he made and special spots allowed me to enjoy italy on a different level. I would definitely recommend this tour.Show more

Abigail
Asked on August 14th, 2025Is that correct of most of your tours. I am looking for a mid to late October tour.
Italy on a Budget ToursOperator•Written August 2025For our Puglia & Matera tour, we offer both private twin and shared twin accommodation options, and it's possible for two solo travellers to choose the Twin Shared option and be paired together in the same room.

Steve
Asked on July 29th, 2025I am 60 years young. Is it possible to get this flight on the morning of the 21st September
- Italy on a Budget ToursOperator•Written August 2025
We can organize a customized, partially guided itinerary just for you. This means your accommodations, tours, transfers, and key activities would all be pre-booked, while still allowing you free time to explore at your own pace. You'd have the flexibility of a private trip, with the peace of mind of everything arranged in advance. Alternatively, we can check availability with our trusted local partners to see if they have a similar small-group tour confirmed for those dates.

Diane
Asked on September 19th, 2024Could you please inform me as to what hotels we will be staying at during the length of the tour. Are there any other dinners included besides the welcome dinner? What type of vehicle is used for transportation? When in Alberobello will we be visiting the Castellana caves and Grotto Bianca? Would we be able to do dinner at Grotto Palazzese?
- Italy on a Budget ToursOperator•Written September 2024
We collaborate with several top-rated hotels and B&Bs. Two weeks before your tour departure, you will receive all relevant travel information, including hotel names. During this tour, the Welcome Dinner and daily breakfasts at the hotel are included. Other meals are not part of the package. We use a private minivan for larger groups and a car for smaller groups. The driving times vary depending on the locations. Unfortunately, the Castellana Caves are not included in the itinerary. Dinner at Grotto Palazzese is not possible during the tour, but you can make separate arrangements. Reservations for Grotto Palazzese should be made well in advance, and the tasting menu starts at around €200 per person.

Diane
Traveler•Written September 2024It seems that we are having trouble finding a flight from Athens to Bari for May 11. The flights seem to arrive too late for us to participate in the orientation and welcome dinner. Could it be possible to start the tour on May 12 for our group of 4 people?
- Italy on a Budget ToursOperator•Written October 2024
We could arrange a private tour of Puglia and Matera specifically for your group of four. This would allow us to make some customizations to your itinerary. It would be possible for your group to join one day later if you like, though this would mean missing out on the first day of the tour.

Asked on August 14th, 2024Are we eligible for the tour to Puglia/Matera? My spouse is 72 and I am 70. Both in very good health and lead active lives but looks like you have a maximum age of 55
- Italy on a Budget ToursOperator•Written August 2024
The tour to Puglia and Matera is designed for students and backpackers looking at sharing the same experience with other like minded travellers. I am afraid you won't fit in this tour package. Feel free at looking at other suitable products which reflect more your tour style.

Paula
Asked on July 22nd, 2024What is the average age of the group and how many are typically in the group? What type of accommodation is included?
- Italy on a Budget ToursOperator•Written July 2024
Our Puglia & Matera tour is a semi-private tour for 8 people maximum. The average age of the participants is usually between 20 and 40 years old, as our tours are fast-paced, budget-minded, and include activities for travellers to meet and have fun with other like-minded young passengers from all parts of the world! As for the accommodation, we offer the following accommodation options to our guests: Twin Share accommodation - the travellers who choose this option will be allocated a room with someone of the same tour. Private Double accommodation - a private room for 2 people. Non-available for solo travellers.
