Passport & Visa
In order to enter Italy, U.S. and Canadian citizens need a valid passport. The expiration date must extend at least six months beyond the date of your return home. No visa is required for U.S. or Canadian citizens. If you are not a U.S. or Canadian citizen, you must contact the Italian consulate for your specific entry requirements.
Health
There are no major health risks associated with traveling to Italy. Travelers should take precautions for sun exposure during the summer months. It is always advisable to check with your doctor or health care provider for the latest updates and overseas travel requirements.
Cuisine
One of the most enjoyable aspects of traveling isthe delightful variety of local cuisine. Most of the staples of the Italian diet have already become favorites in America, but on your tour, be sure to try those less familiar pasta sauces and the vast range of cured hams, cheeses, rustic breads and desserts.
Transportation / Walking on tour
Round-trip flights arrive in Rome and depart from Catania. When you first arrive, a Go Ahead representative will meet you at the airport. Please remain in the arrival lounge, as the representative might be escorting one of your fellow travelers to the bus at the time of your arrival.Included transportation on “Rome, Sorrento & Sicily” is by private motor coach, and flight from Rome to Palermo. In your free time, you may wish to explore the main cities by public transportation. Rome has one of Europe’s best metro systems, serving all the major attractions from the Roman ruins to Vatican City. Tickets can be purchased separately or in bulk and also cover bus and train travel.
Baggage Allowance
Airlines have varying weight restrictions on luggage. Some airlines may impose additional charges if you choose to check any baggage. Please contact your airline or refer to its website for detailed information regarding your airline’s checked baggage policies. Bear in mind that your luggage will probably weigh more on your return trip due to souvenir shopping. We allow only one suitcase per person. One carry-on bag is also permitted, provided that it does not exceed 45 inches (length + width + height). There may be times when you will have to handle your own bags, and you’ll find that lightweight luggage provides a distinct advantage. Make sure you label your baggage and carry valuables, medication and documents in your carry-on luggage.
Clothing and Packing Tips
Light, loose-fitting clothing that provides comfort when exploring the sights is essential for your tour. A sun hat, sunglasses and a sturdy pair of walking shoes are recommended for sightseeing. It’s always a good idea to be prepared for any eventuality—a lightweight sports jacket and emergency rainwear are advised. If you plan to visit an especially elegant restaurant or attend the opera or theater, you will probably feel more comfortable in something more formal. Also, remember that bare legs and shoulders are officially not allowed in churches or other religious sites. Entrance may be denied on this basis.
Currency
The euro is the currency you will be using on your tour. Better rates of exchange are usually available in Italy, although it is worth ordering some currency from your local bank to use when you first arrive. We strongly advise that you take debit/bank cards and credit cards, which can be exchanged for cash at local banks, as needed. You can use most debit/credit cards at ATMs on the international networks Cirrus and Plus, but make sure to check with your home bank about withdrawal fees. We suggest informing your bank and credit card company of your travel plans, so that they don’t confuse your international purchases for fraudulent charges.
Tipping
At the conclusion of your tour, it is customary to offer your Tour Director and driver a gratuity. We recommend tipping in your tour country’s currency, the equivalency of $3USD/CAD per person per day for your driver and $6USD/CAD to $9USD/CAD per person per day for your Tour Director. If applicable, we also recommend the equivalency of $2USD/CAD per local guide. Tips can only be paid in cash. Please keep current local currency exchange rates in mind when tipping.

Tour to Italy and Sicily
The tour overall was great. The Hotel in Rome was very good and centrally located. The Tour guides were good except for the tour guide to St. Peters Basilica was not very good -- did not even join us inside St. Peters. The stay in Palermo was a disappointment. The Hotel left a lot to be desired. The only good part of Palermo was the excursion to the wine country and wine tasting in Cefalu which was excellent. Sorento, Capri, Mt. Etna, Taormina Region were all great. The Hilton in Taormina Region especially good. Maria our Tour Director was very good and our bus driver in Sicily was very good. Our flight arrangements for this trip left a lot to be desired.
beautiful and fascinating locations
The locations are such a nice mix and really "tell the story" of the south half of Italy. Pompeii and Mt. Etna were educational and interesting, the hotel location in Sorrento and Rome could not have been better. Capri, Taormina, and Cefalu were so enchanting. The optional extensions to Vatican City and Castelbuono (wine tasting in Sicily) were possibly the best parts. I also enjoyed tours within Rome but exploring Rome on our own was an experience unto itself. The tour guide went above and beyond to ensure we had all the culture and sights we were looking for.
russian tour guide for italy
Uninspiring, not knowledgeable. education first? Unreliable. Always late. Our tour of pompei was cut short by almost an hour, because she didn't get us there on time. On the bus, instead of informing us our destination, instead she speaks ad nauseum about the economic plight of Italy. (she has an economics degree, you see) who cares? not me or anyone around me. She is the reason i will never book another goahead tour and will discourage others from doing so. A good guide makes all the difference. I have already been to rome, sorrento, and sicily with an excellent guide. I feel sorry for all the people on this tour. They probably don't even realize how shortchanged they were. They don't know plato taught in sicily, archimedes was born there, caravaggio painted there, goethe travelled its roads and wrote a book about it, Wagner composed not far from our hotel.. However they do know the national unempoyment average. Lesson learned, never again.
ROME, SORRENTO & SICILY
Hotels were out of town were we were visiting. Made it difficult to tour area during free time and even to find dinner without having to take a cab. Provided tour food was not as good as I would have expect it to be. Scheduled tours were ok but sometimes a little long winded. And the optional tours were not worth the money. To sum it up, I've been on worse trips, I would rate this one just under fair.
Wonderful Trip
Your tour was a wonderful experience, from working with your sales staff to the tour itself, with just the right balance of planned activity and free time , and with with excellent excursions. Your tour guide, Gabriella, just can't be exceeded as she was knowledgeable, organized and helpful. She was this tours greatest asset. I will always recommend GoAhead Tours and look forwrd to my next tour.
Tour Director
Gabriella was the BEST tour director ever!!!!!! When I take another trip with Go Ahead Tour I will find out what tour she is doing and when and book that tour..
Rome,Sorrento & Sicily
The tour was well planned & the Director Stefania, was excellent. The other guides which we met at the indivdual sites were also knowledgeble and pleasant. The only disappointment was the Hotel Ipanema. Most of the group dinners were just ok and at times were rushed. The one exception was Dinner with the Tenors. This activity was well planned.
Rome, Sorrento & Sicily
This was an awesome trip, led by an equally awesome Tour Director (Stefania). All of the excursions were well worth the money and enhanced my travel experience. I was disappointed with the hotels in Rome and Taurmina, as they were not what was portrayed on the hotels' websites.
Wonderful regional tour of Le Bel Paese
Southern Italy is a great place to visit in the Autumn since the weather is still warm (warm enough for swimming outdoors) yet not too crowded. Our tour director gave us sufficient information to enjoy our tour without loading us down with trivia. He also made sure we were aware of pickpockets on our tour but fortunately no one on the tour was victimized by criminals.
Rome Sorrento Sicily
The tour was excellent. The Hotels were just fabulous. Enjoyed every moment. Met great people. We had family in Rome and Sicily and the free time gave us the opportunity to see them. Definetly would recommend.
