FAQ'S

How much time do you need to explore Italy
It depends on your budget and tastes. But realistically, you will need 2-3 days per city during your Italy tour package.
 
It is easy to get around Italy?

Italy is well-connected by planes, buses, and trains. Trains are popular, especially when travelling between cities and along the coasts. But if you are exploring the hilly regions, buses are your best bet. In popular cities like Rome and Florence, walking is a great option to cover different tourist centres.

Is it true about not ordering a cappuccino after 11 am?
While it is believed that you’ll not be served cappuccino after 11, this is generally for the locals. At most tourist places, restaurants will serve you cappuccinos after noon. Even in the non-touristy areas, you will be served, but be ready for strange stares by people.
Is Italy a cash-rich country?
While shop owners are obliged to accept digital payment, paying by cash is a good way to bargain, especially at local markets.
What’s the best way to avoid crowds at popular tourist spots?
You can book an early sunrise or after-hours trip. They’re a little expensive compared to regular-hour tours, but worth the money. And remember to pre-book attractions whenever you can.
 
How can you find less touristy places in Italy?
The best way to discover less-touristy places is to buy city passes that cover all major attractions and some of the lesser-known places not likely to be known to tourists. But GT Holidays has you covered! We curate personalised Italy tour packages that are less touristy but nevertheless interesting.
 
What are the rules to be followed by tourists in Italy?
Read the signs carefully in tourist attractions. You may be fined for sitting on steps or courtyards, taking selfies at crowded places, littering, or bathing in public fountains.
 
Is Italy safe to visit?
Italy is a safe place to visit, with almost no violent or hate crimes. But it would be best to take precautions against petty thieves and scammers.
 
 
Is Italy suitable for elderly tourists?
Most tourist attractions in cities like Rome and Florence are within walking distance. But most attractions are wheelchair friendly. You’ll need help to navigate cobblestoned streets and cross bridges or canals. Ensure you inform us well in advance if you have a senior member of a person with limited mobility travelling with you. We’ll need to customise your Italy tour package accordingly.
