Kultured Travels is taking the culinary experience to another level with our Tour of Italy stopping in Rome and Florence. Through this week-long trip, you will experience highlights from both cities and immerse yourself in gastronomical heaven. From learning how to make pasta from scratch to wine tasting in Tuscany or losing yourself in a gelato shop or buying real leather from an Italian boutique. On this trip, we will be doing it all. Now this is an experience you will not want to miss. 

FLIGHT

There are two airports in Rome (Fiumicino and Ciampino) Please book your flight to Rome (Fiumicino) airport, if you book Campino, you will be responsible for your transportation to the hotel/airport.

The tour is during the summer so the flight to Italy is likely to get expensive, book as early as you can to save money. If you do not have a US passport and need an Italian or Schengen visa, please handle it as soon as you can to avoid visa rejections and wasted funds because we do not provide refunds. Plan to arrive between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. local time.

FOOD/DRINKS

We will consume a variety of Italian cuisine dishes. Meals are not provided every day, so you are free to eat other dishes in non-group meal activities. The Italian cuisine consists of many carbohydrates and meat products; however, they have great vegetarian options as well. We will also consume a lot of wine.

*When ordering at a restaurant know that water is not free (tap or bottle). Also, sparkling water is very common, if you do not want it, be sure to ask for “still water” instead.

PHYSICAL ACTIVITIES

This tour involves a lot of walking and sometimes hiking, please ensure that you are physically able to participate in those activities without complaint, if not then this may not be the best trip for you.

MONEY/CURRENCY

Italy utilizes the Euro as its currency, most places do take cards, however, to use your card you will need to set travel notices with your bank account and also know that you may be charged an international transaction fee for every card purchase (depending on the card). The best recommendation would be to exchange your USD cash to the amount of Euros that you feel you will need.
