Guides
FAQ: Why should I choose to have a Tour Leader on board? The Tour Leader is going to be the person fully in charge with your Tour, acting also as tourist guide and driver. He is knowledgeable about history, art, and generally about the Country, more a travelling companion and a coordinator than a guide, for a much more rewarding experience. He will take care of all your needs and lead you throughout the itinerary, with secret insights on locations, food, habits and people.
Cancellation policy

Please, see our cancellation policy at www.vitor.it/termsandconditions. We rarely have cancellations but if you do, through illness or any other reason, there would be a charge. We strongly recommend taking out travel insurance to cover any cancellation charges.

Travel Insurance
We strongly recommend purchasing travel insurance alongside your travel package to safeguard against unforeseen circumstances such as medical expenses, trip cancellations, and other contingencies. It offers you peace of mind and ensures you are prepared for unexpected events that may occur before or during your journey
Visa requirements
Visa requirements vary depending on your country of origin and your country of destination. It is your responsibility to familiarize yourself with the relevant requirements. For a handy tool that can help you quickly find the requirements, please visit this link .
Meals Included

with Continental Breakfast

FAQ: 

What meals are included? When accommodations are provided by us, delicious breakfasts are always included. We may also include some dinners, either at the hotel or in a local home-style restaurant, including beverages but not wine or spirits. The other meal, usually lunch, is taken in local pubs and restaurants. This meal is not included in the price of the tour and is to be paid each time by the traveller.

Can special dietary needs be accommodated? In Italy properties are perhaps less inclined to make special efforts in this area, so please be understanding if hotels, restaurants and bars are not as familiar with your particular dietary needs as at home. We will do our best to satisfy your dietary needs or at least provide options for you, but you should make any restrictions clear to us at the time of booking so we can pass the information on to hotels. Common dietary requests like ‘low sodium’ or ‘vegetarian’ are likely to be accommodated much easier than very special or unique dietary needs. Meals that are full a la carte offer more flexibility for special dietary requests.

Age Requirements
No age restrictions
What documents should I have for travelling with my children? All children under 18 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. Pls see comprehensive information at www.vitor.it/identification We will not be responsible for the disruption of travel caused by improper documentation for children travelling abroad without both parents. Can my child stay alone in his/her room? In compliance with our partner hotels and for the safety and security of our guests, minors must be booked into the same room as an accompanying adult. Are there children's meals in your tours? In some cases there could be menus available for children, but please note that in Italy these options may not be typical "kids' meals."

Additional Information
FAQ: Can you describe a typical day out on tour? You might typically leave at 8.30 am and arrive at your hotel at 6.30 pm, however, some days may be longer and others shorter depending on what needs to be covered that day. You will never leave before 8.00 am unless when absolutely necessary and we will always build in time for rest and relaxation. Dinner times in Italy are likely to be later than you might be used to, 8.00 pm at the earliest and often later. How flexible are VITOR itineraries? Visits included in our itineraries are fixed and included in the price. However, outside these there is some flexibility to adapt the itinerary according to such things as weather and special events. Are the attractions always open? Italy‘s monuments and attractions are used on some occasion, as religious holidays and national celebrations, while in others may be closed or obscured for renovations. On these occasions, touring itineraries may be amended to reflect these closures. Also, due to unforeseen circumstances (including weather conditions) there may be last-minute changes. In these particular cases, we reserve the right to adjust the schedule of the tour. How much walking do we do on a tour? In cities there could be considerable walking as many historic cities prohibit motorised transport and we should park some distance out of the centre. How much driving do we do? A typical day's driving range between 100 and 150 Km. and does not exceed 200 Km, with some major attraction, 'comfort' and meal stops. On some days the driving is limited to a few tens of kilometres. Please consider that we travel also along scenic routes wherever possible, so driving could be longer than on motorways. Do you include entrance fees to attractions? Every tour includes a selection of entrances, as clearly shown on our offers. Sometimes, when travelling with a Tour Leader, he may suggest other attractions not included in the program, in such case entrance fees will be at your own expense. Is there any time for shopping? You can shop during city visits, or in villages along the way. Our relaxed pace will allow you to have plenty of time for stopping by and shop. Also, some tours may include a stop at a fashion outlet, when it is on the way to the next location. What about extra expenses? Pls note that any expenses not mentioned in the contract will be paid by individuals according to their own choice. What is the typical dress while on your journeys? Typical dress for any VITOR tour is casual attire. I have some health problems, is this a problem? We want everyone to be able to see Italy with us, and we encourage the participation of physically challenged travellers. If you require dedicated assistance, we kindly ask that you plan to travel with a companion who can help out, as Tour Leaders, guides or other personnel are not able to provide such assistance. Please let us know about any physical disabilities or limitations and we will adjust the tour according to your needs and wishes. Due to physical constraints and space limitations, wheelchairs and walkers can be taken aboard vans, whereas motorized scooters are not allowed.
