  • Rome, Florence, Cinque Terre & Venice in 8 Days - Small Group reviewer 1
    · May 9th, 2025
    Such an amazing tour! I had a great time exploring Rome, Florence and Venice. A special shout-out to our brilliant tour guides Anna and Elisa. Their local knowledge really enhanced the tour and I was always given great recommendations for things to do and food to try whether it was pasta, pizza, Italian bread or gelato (I ate a lot of gelato!) They were also so friendly and supportive and it was great to get to know them. Highlights of the tour included trying Carbonara in a Trattoria as part of our welcome dinner in Rome, exploring great architecture like the Colesseum and the Vatican and the day trip to Tuscany where we tried various different wines which felt like a proper Italian experience. But the best part was meeting so many great people throughout the tour from all around the world! Thank you Italy on a Budget tours! If you're exploring Italy, this group trip is definitely a great way to go and excellent value too!

    · July 30th, 2024
    I did the 7 day tour of Rome, Florence, Cinque Terre and Venice. The original tour date I selected I was unable to participate in as there was no one else that had signed up for the date so I changed my tour to a week earlier. The communication from the staff was great before the trip, I just wished there was a more detailed itinerary given to us (ex. time or a tour or sights we would see). Since I had switched my dates I was hoping to meet lots of amazing people on the trip. It ended up being only myself and one other person (other than for the Cinque terre day trip) who was not interested in meeting anyone or going anything outside of the tour itself. When it came to meeting people it was way easier to meet people in the hostels you stay in. If you are hoping to meet people and make friends I would suggest just booking the hostels yourself and skipping the tour. The hostels that were booked for us were amazing! Nicest hostels I have stayed in my far! And it was nice that you did not have to worry about anything for the week as it was all organized for you. The tour guides were amazing! For the first half of the trip (Rome and Florence tours) I had Ned. He was so knowledgeable and genuinely wanted us to have the best time on the tours. I had such a fun few days with him and he even helped negotiate the price of a purse for me at the leather market in Florence! For the next half of the tour we had Marie. Marie was with us for the Cinque Terre day trip and for Venice. She was very kind and made sure to keep us safe as we were in many train stations (where pickpockets like to be). Both guides made sure to take lots of pictures!! Overall the tour was a good experience as you do not have to worry about planning anything out. If you have a few people you would like to spend time with it is a good option but if you are looking to meet other travellers I would recommend just booking the train tickets and hostels on your own.

    Giovanni made everyone feel at ease and was very welcoming, which helped create a great atmosphere amongst the group and friends were quickly made. He was very helpful in terms of suggestions and information during free time and also had many interesting stories and information on the areas we visited during the tour. Everything was very clear from the beginning. I feel I really got the full “amalfi coast experience” thanks to all of this!

    We had so much fun on this tour. It's amazing how much we saw in just a week! We learned a lot about the cultures and different types of food and paintings/architecture which was really cool. Emma/Jean/Francesca were amazing guides :) Pros: - most of the time we were by ourselves to do whatever we want - the 2 of us were the only ones on the tour lol - really affordable - hostels were all good, people were all friendly - the tour guides were locals and really passionate about their city Cons: - the optional activities are expensive and they were booked early in the morning :/ - there is only 2 dinners included - our Rome guide didn't put in time for lunch, so we were very hungry and walking for 4 hours in the heat. We also didn't have time to go to St. Peter's Basilica :/ - we only had an afternoon in Venice Overall, it was really memorable and I would recommend it :)

    Tour Details
    • Italy on a Budget ToursOperatorWritten April 2025

      The tour you mentioned is primarily designed for travelers aged 18 to 39, as the accommodation is mostly in shared hostel rooms. That said, we are not very strict with the age limit — travelers over 39 are always welcome as long as they are young at heart and comfortable with walking. However, please note that this specific tour runs only from April to October. We do offer another wonderful tour with a very similar itinerary, called 'My First Italian Adventure', which is available year-round, including the winter months. This tour is open to travelers of all ages, includes accommodation in centrally located hotels, and features a few additional inclusions for an even richer experience.

    • Italy on a Budget ToursOperatorWritten April 2025

      Our package includes accommodation unless you choose the "tour only" option. As for meals, we include a welcome dinner in Rome and a welcome aperitivo in Florence. Other meals are not included unless otherwise specified, but not to worry, our guides are always happy to recommend local and affordable spots for delicious food throughout your trip. Accommodation is arranged in a mix of hostels and B&Bs, and we offer both shared and private options, depending on your preference. We work with top-rated, centrally located partners such as Yellow, Meininger, Plus, Anda, and others.

    How strict are you with the ages? I will be 50 in May and am wondering if I can go on this tour?

    Age Range
    Tour Details
    • Italy on a Budget ToursOperatorWritten February 2025

      The group age for this tour is 18-39 as it's designed for students and backpackers mostly, offering a fast-paced itinerary and budget accommodation in shared or twin shared rooms at hostels. While we're happy to welcome guests of all ages who are young at heart, we'd like to highlight that the itinerary involves a lot of walking and has a more adventurous spirit, which some older travelers may find challenging. For a more relaxed alternative, I'd love to recommend another tour of ours, Your First Italian Adventure. This tour is open to adults of all age groups and visits the same beautiful destinations as the original tour you were considering. However, it offers additional inclusions, such as a Welcome Dinner, for example, and centrally located accommodations in hotels and B&Bs.

    Asked on February 4th, 2025

    was looking at spending 3 days each in Rome, Florence and Venice, are there any tour extensions for lack of a better phrase?

    Tour Details
    • Italy on a Budget ToursOperatorWritten February 2025

      This tour includes: 2 nights in Rome, 4 nights in Florence, 1 night in Venice. If you'd like to extend your stay, we can arrange extra nights in Rome and Venice before and after the tour to give you more time to explore. You can choose to explore independently, or we'd be happy to help organize activities and experiences to make the most of your time in each destination.
