Good to Know Before You Book.

​

We believe in full transparency, so here's everything you need to know:

​

About the itinerary Built by our specialists for maximum value and enjoyment — but minor adjustments may occasionally be needed to keep the tour running smoothly and safely. If an attraction is closed, we'll swap in an equally great alternative, and your Tour Manager will keep you posted every step of the way. On rare occasions the route may run in reverse, or you may join another group if numbers require it — but no planned sightseeing is ever dropped (except for holiday closures).

​

Packing tip: stick to one checked bag + one handbag per person — coach storage is limited.

​

Your accommodation Stay centrally in a 4-star hotel (or equivalent/better, if changes are needed). Twin or double bedding is requested on your behalf but can't be guaranteed — we do our best to accommodate you.

Kids under 12 are considered children for the full tour, and a third guest in a triple room typically gets a rollaway bed in a double-sized room.

Rates reflect local taxes and fees as of October 1, 2025.

​

Nothing here limits your rights under the Australian Consumer Law.

​

Travelling solo? A single supplement applies for sole occupancy, subject to availability at booking.

​

Getting around comfortably This tour moves at a moderate pace — expect ~2km of walking a day, some stairs and uneven heritage terrain, and boarding coaches/boats along the way. Have a medical condition or mobility need? Just tell us at booking so we can look after you properly — this helps us confirm the trip is the right fit and set you up for success.

​

Flights & transfers

• Amsterdam (AMS) arrival transfer: complimentary for flights landing 8 AM–2 PM (transfer departs 4 PM)

• Rome (FCO) departure: coach drops off by 11 AM — book your flight accordingly.

• ​

Passports & visas

• Valid for 6+ months beyond your return date, with 2 blank pages minimum

• Australian passport holders: e-Visa required, valid for 150+ days from entry

• Requirements can change — always confirm with the relevant embassy/consulate before departing.

• ​

Travelling with young children? Let us know if you're bringing kids under 7 so we can plan ahead for them.

​

Peace of mind Travel insurance isn't mandatory but is strongly recommended — and some suppliers or local authorities may ask to see proof of coverage. It's there for you if plans change unexpectedly.

​

The fine print, simplified:

• Sightseeing and transfers run in air-conditioned coaches

• Major delays may mean a packed dinner instead of a sit-down meal — your Sales Rep will confirm details

• If European taxes rise, pricing may adjust accordingly (with a clear explanation)

• Tours run in line with all government regulations

• Some trips need a minimum number of travellers — if that's not met, we'll notify you 30+ days out with your options.
