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."
