Travel tips for Southern Italy and Sicily...Possibly getting married there also? My boyfriend and I are planning a trip to Southern Italy (Rome, Naples, Capri, Palermo etc) including Sicily in March or April of 2008. We have never been to Italy and we plan to go for 10 day (not including the travel days to and from). We know that we need to do a tour or we would never see the things we want to see but we don't want to be restricted to eating with the people on the tour and staying in the hotels they stay in. Basically, I would like to know if anyone has taken a trip to Italy where you basically set up the sightseeing tours only, you can eat where you want and stay where you want but they set up transportation to and tours of sight of interest. We want to stay at the nicest places and have freedom to eat where you want, are there any companies that allow you to do this. We are also thinking of getting married in Sicily, he has some family there (whom he has never met, but are very receptive to our coming). We would basically be eloping(just the 2 of us, no one knows) we want a Catholic ceremony then when we come home we would have a nice Civil Ceremony for just close family and friends (he works for a judge so he would perform the wedding). Is this possible and if anyone has done this please let me know. We would also like to start off in Sicily b/c that is where my bf wants to get married and then the rest of the trip will be our honeymoon, is this possible. Any info will be appreciated, especially from those who have traveled southern Italy and/or American citizens who have had a Catholic wedding there. Thanks for the advice Pearl, but I am Catholic hence, the reason I wanted a catholic ceremony, and have made my sacriments (baptism and confirmation)

Travel tips for Italy? I have 16 days to travel around Italy with a husband and three kids ages 17, 15 & 10. I would like to travel from Rome to Florence(or vice versa) and would like to know how long we should stay in each(major) city to see all the major sites w/o wasting time. Should we drive ourselves around to save money? Should we find one central location to sleep, cook, shower, etc. and venture out from there daily? Cost isn't a HUGE issue but we will be on a budget(don't know how much yet). Hostels are not an option having the kids with us. I am not that concerned w/luxury, pampering, etc. only comfort, convenience, privacy,etc. We certainly don't mind cooking most meals at 'home'. We are not mainstream tourist types and like freedom to do as we like; ie schedules, tours, etc. Any suggestions on where to stay, car rental, good sites to see,best time to travel, do's and don'ts, kid friendly,precautions and the like. Thanks a lot for any ideas you have!
do you know any travel agency who offers tour packages for italy and paris? its for our honeymoon...tnx

We don't want to completely slum it, but can't stay at five star resorts--budget wise. Thanks for opinions!
We want to do a bicycle tour in Italy but they all seem to be to long and too expensive. Any suggestions? We are planning a trip to Europe for next summer and we really want to do a bicycle tour. We are planning on traveling for two weeks and spending most, if not all, of our time in Italy. I've found plenty of bike tour sites but they all have tours that are either 1 day or 7+ days (too long since we want to do Rome and Florence too) and most of them are like $2000+ because they put you up in a 4 or 5 star hotel!! We're not that pretencious. We really would like to find something for 3-4 days that is cheaper a few hundred per person and we'd prefer camping. Any suggestions of where to look?

Suggestion for a guided tour trip to Italy Summer 2008? Help!? My mom and I are looking to travel to Italy this summer.

Anyone have any suggestions of good tours groups that will work with our budget?
I am looking for a family friendly trip to Italy? I have 4 children, ages 17, 14, 13, and 10. We will be traveling spring, '08. Is this a good time to go to Italy? Should we book a trip with a travel agency, like a guided tour, or is there a better way to book things separately, like a "do it at your own pace?" I do not want to be overbooked like the guided tours tend to be, with having so many kids, but I do want to see at least Rome, Florence, Venice, and Capri, or some ocean. I am worried that we could not do it on our own, without the help of a guided tour. But the tours tend to be so fast paced, and boring. I want this to be an amazing trip, that we will never forget. And fun yet educational for the kids. Thank you for your answers to anyone who has done a trip like this!
How can I avoid looking like an obvious tourist in Italy? About 11 people from my Italian club (at school) are going to Italy with a tour group called CHA. My Italian teacher, who has organized two trips prior to this one, wants us to wear CHA's backpack when we're over there, in order for her to see us easily. I personally think that it's just going to be an even more obvious indicator that we're tourists, aside from the fact that we'll be traveling in a group... As far as I know, no one else has had to label themselves a tourist in such a way on her two previous trips. Any suggestions on how I can *try* to convince her to drop the whole "wear the backpack with the obvious CHA label" idea? Also, for those of you who live, have lived, or have been to Italy in the past, what do they usually wear? I was considering bringing several of my Hollister shirts, plus a few plain (non-labeled) shirts, and jeans. Will this just scream "TOURIST!," or do they have/wear Hollister over there? Thank you!
I am Traveling to Italy in March 08, for 3 weeks, and I will be free to travel just about anywhere.? Can anyone suggest the "Must See" cities for me to tour.
What is the best way to get around in Spain and Italy? We have 10 days in Italy and a few days in Spain. Want to s ee more of Italy this time. Can we manage without a tour guide? We have travelled a lot (but not in Europe) and is a family of 6, ages 22-61. Any suggestions on where to fly in from USA to keep the airfare low? We will be flying from ATL and Boston and meeting up in Italy.
When my husband and I go to Europe, will it be better to join a tour group or to travel on our own? I believe that there are pros and cons to both. If we join a tour group, then we don't need to worry about our itenerary, about us getting lost, no more stress in planning the whole trip. If we travel on our own, we will save (since it will be cheaper if we research well) and we can have more time in the places that we like. So that's our dilemma. I really want to go to Europe within the year. Must-visits are the ff: France, Spain, Italy. Thanks in advance!
how do i find a travel agent that uses "aquadulci hotel" in italy or any other "specific" hotel? I can reveiw guests ratings of certain hotels, and decide which hotel would be good to stay at.

EF Educational Tours trip to Italy and Spain? I'm going to Italy and Spain for 11 days this upcoming summer with EF Educational Tours. I've heard different things about the tour company, so I just want to make sure it's an okay tour company. I've heard from some people that you don't get your own beds, and that you have to share a bed with someone else. My cousin, however, went on a tour to Spain with the same company in 2005 and said that she had her own bed. Anyways, I'd also like to know what types of things to pack. I'll be going June 20-30, 2008. It'll be my first time traveling to Europe, but not my first time traveling abroad. In 2005 I traveled with the People to People Student Ambassador Program. What are some major differences between P2P and EF? How much money would you recommend me taking? Any other information you may have about the program or the two destinations would be greatly appreciated. Thanks ahead of time for the help.

Please recommend a great Italy tour guide for us? We are a group of 6 in our early 30s, most married, and business working professionals who need a nice vacation before some of start thinking about starting a family. We want to visit Rome, Milan, Florence in about 12 days. Since it's our first time, we want to visit the major sites, do some serious outlet shopping, and enjoy some fine dining, and maybe visit some special experiences like visiting a winery or taking an italian cooking class, etc. We would sincerely appreciate a referral to someone who can plan all of this out for us and guide us all over Italy. We are definitely willing to pay for a great experience since we don't get to travel as much as we'd like to. We would like to stay at nicer hotels, ideally some with elevators. Thanks in advance!!
Ten Day Tour of Italy in April - Advice? I'm spending ten days in Rome & southern Italy (Naples, Sorrento, Taormina, etc.) with a student tour group in mid-April. What should I make sure to bring with me, especially for the weather during that time of year? Are there any items that would be useful that you wouldn't normally think of bringing with you?

Exploring Italy...? I want to travel to Italy. What are some of the best spots? How can I save money? What are the best places to stay and tour?
Going to Cannes in March...should I also go to Italy (Venice, Florence, Rome) or France and London? My sister and I have a 4 night stay pre-booked for Cannes from March 20-24 (she's 30, I'm 25). We have til March 31 to explore another place in Europe (about 7 add'l days). We were planning to take the train and do a country-wide tour of Italy, hitting Venice, Florence, and Rome (each for about 2 nights, on our own- no tour groups). Now, we're wondering if it would be better to do a trip through France instead, with a stop in London. Is there anything of interest in cities outside of Paris? My thinking is we may not go to that area of Europe for a while, so it'd be good to take this chance to visit Italy. It's more likely we'll get to London/Paris before we can go to Italy (I've been to London before, sis hasn't). What's a better itinerary, taking in traveling time/mode/costs? Is anything going on in Italy or France in the end of March that will make it worth a visit? We can also arrive in one airport and depart from another. Any insight would be greatly appreciated!
