Italy Tour Packages 2025, 2026

You can book one of our Italy tours during any time of the year, but different seasons offer different benefits. Visiting during the summer means the weather will be sunny and warm, while winter visits can mean snow — especially in mountainous regions. Since the weather is great during the summer, it’s also the busiest season in terms of visitors. We offer Italy tour packages throughout the year, so you can find a tour that works for your schedule and includes all the destinations you want to see.

The length of our Italy trip packages varies quite a bit. Our shortest Italy tours are 8 days long, while our longest tour lasts 23 days and gives you a chance to visit several countries. Our shorter tours allow you to choose where you want to go and what you want to see, or you can choose our Best of Italy tour to see some of the most popular spots. Our longest tour packages combine our Greece tours, Italy tours and others to give you a more well-rounded experience.

Italy doesn’t have an especially strict dress code, so you don’t have to worry about wearing traditional garments when you visit. That being said, Italy is a fashion-conscious country where many people dress well, so you’ll feel right at home if you like to dress up a bit. Like our Greece and Turkey tours, our tours of Italy may include visits to religious sites that have their own dress code. These dress codes usually involve dressing modestly, so make sure you pack more than shorts and tank tops.

The amount of walking depends on which of our Sicily & Italy tours you choose. However, it’s always smart to pack a comfortable pair of shoes when you’re visiting another country. Walking shoes that provide support and cushioning are ideal because they help you avoid foot pain. If you’re concerned about how much you’ll need to walk during your tour, you can contact us before booking but we generally suggest that each day will involve several miles of walking on average.

If you’re a U.S. citizen, you can visit Italy for up to 90 days for tourism or business purposes without worrying about getting a visa. However, you will need to have a valid passport to visit Italy. Since obtaining a passport can take several weeks — even with an expedited application — you should make sure you have you have applied for your passport at least 4 months before your trip.

Italian is the most commonly spoken language in Italy, with about 93% of the population being native speakers. The good news is that English is the second most common language in the country, so it’s usually easy to find someone you can communicate with at a shop or restaurant. We also have English-speaking tour guides who will accompany you on any of our Italy tours.

The euro is the most commonly used currency in Italy, so you’ll need to exchange your money for euros before visiting. Whether you’re booking a trip to Sicily or Italy or one of our Britain and Scotland tours, we recommend visiting a currency exchange before your trip. If you have extra money left over, you can always exchange it for USD or keep it as a souvenir.

Italy uses three different types of plugs: Type C, F and L. If you want to make sure you can plug your devices in wherever you go, make sure you have these three adapters. You can also find all-in-one adapters that work in any country, so you can use them for our Turkey or Germany tours after you’re done visiting Italy.

The time zone used in Italy is called Central European Time (CET), which means Italy is 9 hours ahead of the western United States and 6 hours ahead of the eastern United States. You may experience jet lag when you visit Italy for the first time.

Unlike our Iceland tours which offer a more consistent climate year round, Sicily & Italy tours are great because you can experience vastly different types of weather during different seasons. The climate during the summer is warm and sunny without being overwhelming, while many parts of Italy get a significant amount of snow each winter.
