Quality
This indicates the overall quality of the tour operator's products. A low rating does not mean it is not good - it just means that it does not include as much, or perhaps is of a more standard quality than the higher quality tours. For example, a 3 star quality rating means that it is a more standard/economical tour, while 5 stars is a very luxurious tour that often includes a lot of amenities.

More Details
Trafalgar is informing us of the following additional details regarding their Best of Italy and Sicily (2025) tour:
Travelers Notes
* UNITED KINGDOM: Traveling or transiting through the UK & Northern Ireland after January 8, 2025? A new Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA) is required for entry and transit. Applications open November 27, 2024. For more details and to apply for the ETA, visit https://www.gov.uk/guidance/apply-for-an-electronic-travel-authorisation-eta.* NOTE: This Trip falls under LEVEL 1. Please refer to the Deposit, Payment and Cancellations policies on our website. * DAY 1: Complimentary arrival transfers from Falcone-Borsellino Airport (PMO) depart at 12:00 and 15:00 on the first day of the tour. Guest meet their Travel Director at approximately 17:30 for a Welcome Reception and a short introduction on the first day of the tour, please be aware when booking your flights. * DAY 15: Complimentary transfers arrive at Venice Marco Polo Airport (VCE) on the last day of the tour at 08:00 and 09:30. Departure Venice transfers operate by water taxis. The water taxis pull into the airport pier, from here guests need to walk approximately 10 minutes into the airport terminal building using a moving walkway which is very clearly indicated from pier and on-route into Terminal building. There are also trolleys available at pier. Travel Directors will always advise guests in advance of pier and walk. As you can imagine with Venice being built on water the only way guests can arrive in front of Terminal building would be if they had stayed on mainland instead of on Venice island. Anyone staying on Venice island is transferred to airport by water taxi and left at pier. * TRANSFERS: Chargeable transfers available in Palermo and Venice. Guests who have booked their extra hotel nights with Trafalgar, or whose flight times do not coincide with the shuttle coach timings may purchase a chargeable transfer. However, guests booking independent hotel nights will make their own transfer arrangements.* POMPEII: Please note that Pompeii features uneven stone surfaces and is only accessible on foot. It has no wheelchairs or wheelchair access. * ERICE: In Erice, the town drop-off point is at the bottom of a hill and is only accessible by foot to reach the city centre.
Meals Included
Pricing listed above for tours is per person, in US Dollars, and is based on double occupancy. Pricing may change for other occupancy types. Pricing is based on the last time the vendor electronically sent us pricing data, which varies by vendor (usually occurs overnight or multiple times throughout each day).
Pricing and availability are subject to change and must be confirmed by one of our travel advisors, who can contact the vendor to do so. Intra-vacation air (also referred to as internal air) is usually based on economy class seating (do not assume otherwise, unless explicity noted otherwise) and may be 100% non-refundable at time of final payment. Air quotes (including intra-vacation airfare) may be subject to change until final payment has been received by the vendor. Flight confirmation may be based on availability. Air reservations may not be able to be confirmed until a passport copy is received by the vendor. The following charges are not included in the vacation price unless otherwise noted: airfare to and from the start of your vacation; airline baggage fees including checked and/or excess baggage fees; Federal inspection fees for the Federal U.S. Customs and Immigrations; International Air Transportation tax; agricultural tax; other per person taxes imposed by government entities; airport taxes and fees, including the September 11th Security fee, passenger facility charges, Federal domestic flight segment fees, and U.S. and international arrival and departure and other government-imposed fees added by the airline and applicable at time of booking; port taxes; passports; visas and vaccinations; tips to your Cruise Director, Local Host, driver, Local Guides, and/or ship's crew; gratuities on ferries, trains, and cruise ships; laundry; telephone; minibar; alcohol, beverages, and food outside of the contracted menu as presented at a hotel or restaurant or onboard your vessel (these extra items will be billed to you before leaving the hotel, ship, or restaurant); airport transfers on non-qualifying flights; optional excursions; additional activities and excursions purchased online; porterage at airports and train stations; Travel Protection; and all other items of a personal nature. Itinerary details are provided by the vendor. Vendors may reserve the right to change itineraries, even on existing reservations. There may be instances where the name of a tour contains a tour length in it, but where there is a version of the tour that is a different number of days in length. You can check the true length of a tour by referring to the length value listed in association with that tour. Destination images displayed on this web page, some which are supplied by the related vendor and some which are not, are intended to simply give a general representation of the region of the world being visited during the tour. Such images are not necessarily of the exact areas being visited during the tour. Hotel details (including, but not limited to: rating/class, descriptions, images, amenities and addresses) are provided by Trafalgar. Hotel amenities may be communicated in shorthand by Trafalgar (for example, if "Laundry" is listed that may only mean that the hotel has an optional fee-based service that would allow for your laundry to be done by their staff). We reserve the right to correct errors.
