LUGGAGE
What to Pack and Wear:
We would recommend comfortable clothes and shoes for this tour. Feel free to include a smart-casual outfit for dinner if you wish, however there is no pressure to follow a dress code.

The weather should largely be warm and sunny throughout the journey, however it is always good to be prepared for every eventuality, so make sure you pack a light jacket in case of rain and the fact that it may be cooler in the evening.

Insect repellent and sun cream are also essential items. Don't forget your camera, with charger/spare batteries and memory cards.

Luggage Allowances:
International airlines are often strict about the size and weight of checked in baggage and carry-on luggage. Prior to your departure, please contact your airline or visit their website for specific luggage requirements, as size and weight limitations may vary according to the airline and destination.

LANGUAGE

The main language of Italy is Italian, though German is spoken in some areas in the northern Dolomites. English is often spoken in tourist destinations but less so than in other European countries.

WEATHER
Italy is a great destination to visit all year round. Weather forecasts for spring/autumn are usually very mild with warm and sunny days. In summer, temperatures can rise quite high with most days sunny and temperatures dropping only slightly in the evenings. Please make sure to check the weather forecast for Italy before you depart as this will give you a better idea of what clothing to pack and what weather to expect whilst on tour.

ELECTRICITY
In Italy, the standard voltage is 230V and the frequency is 50Hz. You will need a European plug adapter, and/or converter depending on which electrical appliances you bring with you.

MOBILES & INTERNET COMMUNICATION
Moblie coverage is widely avaliable across Europe, be sure to check with your mobile provider for coverage and rates, as data roaming can be extremely expensive.

MONEY
Currency:
The currency of Italy is the Euro (€). Credit cards are widely accepted in city centers, but it's advisable to carry cash for smaller transactions and quicker payments, as some restaurants may take time to bring the bill. Many cafes and restaurants, especially in smaller areas, do not accept cards, especially foreign ones. ATMs are common in cities but rare in villages. Avoid carrying large sums of cash.

Visa and Mastercard are the most accepted credit cards, while Diners Club and American Express may not be accepted everywhere. Contact your bank before traveling to avoid card issues.

Important: Italy uses chip-and-pin cards, so cards with magnetic strips may not work at automated machines. Carry extra cash in case and be prepared to show ID if you can’t use chip-and-pin.

Gratuities:
After feedback from previous guests, we offer a group tipping package for this tour, more information on this will be shared in the 'Pre-Tour Emails'.

WATER
The tap water in most Italian cities is generally of good quality and safe to drink. Unless otherwise advised, sometime in more rural communities, you can drink the local tap water. However, most Italians have a preference for bottled water and such that bottled water be readily purchased at supermarkets, kiosks and many shops.

SAFETY & SECURITY
As visitors, tourists may be more vulnerable to petty crimes like pickpocketing and scams, so we recommend staying aware and taking simple precautions.

RELIGION
Italy is a predominantly Catholic country, with the seat of the religion at the Vatican City in Rome.

PHOTOGRAPHY
Italy offers photo opportunities one after another. You will return with many photos that can never be repeated. Remember to pack your camera, along with the charger, spare batteries and a spare memory card!
