Escorted Tours Italy: Campania in 4 Days or Italy and the Alps in 12

Escorted Tours Italy: A Quick Break or the Bigger Trip?

Italy is one of those places where everybody already has a plan in their head. Pizza in Naples, a view of the sea, a long lunch somewhere with lemon trees. The trouble starts when you try to book it: trains, transfers, hotels up steep hills and, if you want Indian food, not much of it in the places you’re staying.

Escorted tours of Italy take that off your hands. This guide shows the two ways we offer Italy on our site right now, what each costs, how they compare, and which one fits the trip you have in mind.

A quick word on who’s behind this page. Red Tours runs escorted and guided tours across Europe and worldwide, from 3-day short breaks to multi-week grand tours. We handpick our hotels, our tours are led by highly trained, experienced Tour Managers, and we list starting prices openly on redtours.co.uk, so what you read here matches what you’ll see when you book.

Two ways to see Italy with Red Tours

Prices are listed in euros on redtours.co.uk, were checked on [date] and can change. “About per day” is our own arithmetic from the listed price and length.

Beautiful Campania: Italy in four days

Campania is the region of southern Italy around Naples. It’s home to Pompeii, Mount Vesuvius and the Amalfi Coast, though a four-day tour can’t cover everything, so check the tour page for which places your departure visits. From €461, it’s our shortest and lowest-cost way into Italy.

It suits a long weekend, a first escorted tour, or a gift trip for parents who want Italy without the planning.

A European Odyssey: Italy plus the Alps

If you want Italy alongside mountain scenery, A European Odyssey combines Italy with Austria and Switzerland over 12 days from €1,852. You see more variety, at about €154 a day. Our European multi country tours guide explains how to judge the pace of a route like this.

What’s included on our Italy tours

• A Tour Manager who is highly trained and experienced, for the whole tour.
• Handpicked hotels with a minimum of 3 to 4 star ratings.

Check the tour page for flights, entrance fees and which meals are included.

Tips before you book Italy

1. Think about the heat. Southern Italy gets very hot in high summer. If you don’t do well in heat, ask about spring or autumn departures.
2. Ask about walking. Historic towns and archaeological sites often mean cobbles and slopes. Mention any mobility needs when you enquire.
3. Check the hotel list. Ask where you’ll stay each night so you know how much packing is involved.
4. Read the inclusions. Entrance fees at major sites add up if they’re not included.
