- AAnnPowers· July 9th, 2018It was a wonderful trip! Our very knowledgeable guide, Patricia O’Brien, went above and beyond with her attentiveness to each and every tour guest. Her organizational skills and attention to detail made the trip relaxing, enjoyable, educational, and unforgettable! Fabio, our skilled coach driver, put all at ease with his high regard for safety, and making sure that the coach was always clean. Kudos to Patricia and Fabio. They make a great team! Trafalgar is fortunate to have them represent their company.Show moreTrip date: May 2018

Leanne
Asked on November 19th, 2023I am looking to travel to Italy in June 2024 with my girlfriend. I have a few questions about personalizing this tour. 1. What is the price of this tour if it's private for 2 adults? 2. I'm not sure how to organize flying from the US to Palermo, it seems many US airlines do not offer flights straight to Palermo. I'm wondering if there's any way to organize this tour so it starts and ends in Rome.
TrafalgarOperator•Written November 2023We only offer a group and do not offer a private for two passengers, and the cost is $5,050.00 per person in a twin room. Group size: average 40 to 45 guests, maximum of 48 guests.

Asked on June 23rd, 2023My husband has bad knees and can not walk long distance. Any opportunity to have a wheel chair available for his bad days. How much walking in any given day?
- TrafalgarOperator•Written June 2023
We cannot provide your husband with a wheelchair. Hence, he can always bring his own; there is only one wheelchair per trip or tour. He needs to have a companion who will assist him with pushing the wheelchair and ascending or descending the coach steps. Wheelchairs and walkers both need to be fully collapsible and non-motorized.

Traveler•Written June 2023Wow, that all sounds pretty strenous. If someone isnt feeling up to all the walking. Is there a meeting point, where they could sit and wait until we return to the coach?
- TrafalgarOperator•Written June 2023
The Travel Director is the only one who will be able to provide you with information on the tour itinerary, including designated meeting points and potential resting areas where you can sit and wait until the group returns to the coach.

Asked on May 7th, 2023how many hotel changes? how many nights on each hotel?
- TrafalgarOperator•Written May 2023
As your preferred departure date is not until 19th September 2024, the hotel list is not yet finalised and we are therefore unable to provide you yet the final list of hotels and the number of nights you'll be staying on each hotel.

Traveler•Written October 2022Okay thank you, and how much time will I have free in Florence? I really want to go inside the uffizi gallery
- TrafalgarOperator•Written October 2022
In Florence you will arrive to the hotel around 6/6303pm. After getting settled into the hotel you have the rest of the night as free time. There is an optional excursion offered that night or you can choose to do anything on your own, you will just need to advise the Travel Director what you are going to do instead.
