    · June 13th, 2025
    The second part of the tour to the Aoelian Islands was outstanding - great excursions and accommodation and meals. The first part of the tour around Palermo and Catania was informative. The accommodation was excellent in these locations but some lunch meals were sub-standard.

    Vincent

    Asked on June 7th, 2023

    We're looking into the Best of Italy tour and I'm wondering what accommodations can be made for disabilities. My mom is oxygen dependent and can't do vigorous walking without taking lots of breaks. Looking for a tour and company that can help us navigate that added difficulty.

    Accommodation

      Rooms in Europe are not very large like North American standards, however, you will have a decent size room for Triple. The bedding arrangements vary by hotel. Some hotels will have 2 beds, some will have 3 single beds and some can have 1 bed with a sofa bed. Milan is not offered on this tour, due to the distance from the city. This tour ends in Sicily. I would recommend booking a flight from Catania back to Rome for the last day if you want to depart from Rome. Daily breakfast is included with a mix of buffet and continental depending on the hotel.
