If anyone between 18 to 35 years old is looking to travel all over Italy, Contiki has an awesome tour that goes to Lake Como, Venice, Assisi, Florence, Rome, and Sorrento for only $1500. I went on a Contiki last summer and it was the best experience of my life. The trip includes almost all meals, lodging, transportation, and some activities. It's a great way to travel, because the trips are not like normal tours where you are forced to follow an umbrella the whole time. You have lots of freedom to choose where you want to go at each stop and what you want to do. The tour guide is there the whole time, but they are only there to help you if you have any questions as to how to plan your day or things of that sort. The night life is also great. We went out partying every night, but if you don't like to party as much you can always stay in or hang out at the bars they have at the Contiki owned stays. When I went to Venice, I went on a gondola ride and it was so surreal. It honestly felt like you were in a movie set. We also went to a really nice dinner in Florence where we had a seven course meal. The place was filled with Contiki travelers and they had an Opera singer, and other musical performers. People were dancing the whole time and drinking wine...it was a blast. I think everyone needs to travel to Italy at least once in their lives, and there is no better way to do it than with Contiki.
