      This tour is based on Twin Share. Since you have an odd number of travellers in your party, you can share with another solo traveller of the same gender on the tour free of charge or If you would prefer to add a single supplement, we can do so for an additional cost, which depends on the tour date. The distance is around 288.5 km - (3.5 to 4hrs).

    Clare

    Asked on April 21st, 2022

    Need clarification, please. We start this trip in Rome, correct? Does the tour package INCLUDE THE COST FOR TRAVELLERS TO RETURN TO ROME? Could you please advise how the return trip to Rome would work.

    Tour Details
    Transport
    • G AdventuresOperatorWritten April 2022

      Clare

      TravelerWritten April 2022

      Great! Thank you for your prompt reply. Is the Tour guide with us on the way back to Rome? Where is the location we would be returning to in Rome? Where do we get let off?

    • G AdventuresOperatorWritten April 2022

      Yes the tour leader will be with you all the way back to Rome and you will be finishing the tour in the main Rome train station - if you are planning to leave that same day then it's important not to book flights earlier than 6pm.
