Planning the perfect vacation with your significant other can be a daunting task. By the time you've retired or begun thinking about retiring, it can be even harder. Chances are you've seen and been through a lot of things together, which can make surprises difficult. If you're looking for the perfect way to say, "I love you," you may want to consider booking one of the Italy small group tours that are available. Whether you think you'd be happiest in Rome or in more undiscovered regions like Puglia, you'll be able to find the perfect tour for your needs and tastes! Time for Each Other The first element of creating the perfect vacation is making sure you have some time as a couple. All too often, people book tours of Italy only to find they never have a private minute or any time to explore. Large tours keep a tight schedule and are very inflexible when it comes to meeting individual needs or exploring off the beaten path. When you travel to Italy with a smaller group, you'll find that you're given free time to explore and that you can choose whether you would like to do that with new friends or use that time to enjoy your significant other. Rushed or Relaxed? Another thing to consider is what kind of experience you want to have. Do you enjoy the hustle and bustle of large cities like Rome or do you prefer the quiet cadence of life in the Italian country side? If you want to see all the sites and revel in a party-like atmosphere, be sure you book a tour that will meet those needs. If, however, you prefer your vacations to be relaxing and rejuvenating, look for tours that focus on small towns, trips to vineyards, and "undiscovered" regions and places. No matter what your taste, you'll find the romance you're looking for. Fit for You One of the most important things you can do when planning a vacation with your significant other is accept and plan for any limitations you may have. While most tour groups allow you to opt out of excursions, it doesn't make sense to book a trip you can't really go on. Missing two or more excursions is really pushing the envelope when it comes to getting your money’s worth, and the last thing you want is to consider your vacation a waste. Be sure to look carefully at the itinerary and, if you're still unsure about whether you can meet the physical demands of the trip, be sure to call the tour company for more information. Point A to B Transportation is another really big issue when it comes to traveling in a foreign country. Will the tour company be providing its own vehicles or will you be left to communicate with taxi drivers who don't speak your language? In most cases, the tour company will provide its own vehicles or transportation, but you should always ask. Also, be sure that the vehicles have air conditioning and/or heat, depending on the time of year you go. Touring around the Mediterranean without air conditioning can be unbearable! Who wants to spend their time in Italy wishing they were back at the hotel? Comforts of Home Finally, be sure to ask about accommodations. Will you be staying in hotels? Bed and breakfasts? Hostels? Local homes? This information should play a big part in your decision to book one of the Italy small group tours. Nothing will ruin a vacation faster than not being comfortable with where you're staying. You should have clean, modern lodgings that offer most of, if not all, the amenities of home; a cold shower is no way to end an amazing day!
