Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is the best time of year to visit Italy?
Italy offers something unique every season, but the best times to visit are typically spring (April to June) and fall (September to October). These months bring comfortable weather, fewer crowds, and excellent conditions for exploring cities, countryside, and coastlines.
2. How many days should I spend in Italy?
It depends on what you’d like to experience. A well-paced itinerary typically lasts 10 to 14 days, allowing time to explore major cities like Rome, Florence, and Venice, while also venturing into the countryside or coast.
3. Do you charge a fee for creating a custom trip to Italy?
Yes. We charge a planning fee for custom Italy trips, which is fully deductible from your final booking. A percentage-based service fee applies once you confirm.
