Italy Tours, Holiday Packages and Travel Deals 2025 & 2026

Great selection of cities and activities. Great tour guide (Giorgos Pirros), passionate, incredibly knowledgeable, very good sense of humor. Looking always after his clients, offering the best options.

EVERYTHING WAS GREAT EXCEPT THE MSC EXCURSIONS

Thank you so much for a wonderful holiday experience. As we had not travelled overseas for over twenty years, we were not feeling confident to take on organising the trip ourselves. The 2 for 1 deal was extremely good value for money. All the hotels, excursions and transfers were very satisfactory and the whole trip was worry free. Can't wait for our next overseas holiday and we will be looking at Trip a deal to organise another fantastic trip. We also would not hesitate to recommend Trip a deal to our friends and family.

Flights with Emirates were fantastic, great airline. Catarina, our Guide was absolutely fantastic, warm and friendly, remembered all our names so quickly (34 on tour) and so organised and helpful. Made us feel like a big happy family. Credit to the Company. Bus driver was a very skilled driver, very impressed with the way he navigated small spaces and roads. Cruise was good, probably would have preferred another port rather than the first sea day, but we enjoyed it. Great staff who looked after us well, food was great and enjoyed the excursions. Great that gratuities were included in the price so we just tipped staff who were looking after us. Marguerite from Trip a Deal has fantastic customer service skills and should be congratulated, made booking so easy, she went above and beyond to ensure an easy booking process. 👏 Overall a fantastic trip that we enjoyed very much and would highly recommend. Trip Number 3 with Trip a Deal and hopefully many more to come.

We loved the organised trains and excellent hotels. Paul our tour manager who worked for Swiss Travel Centre gave us half price Qr Codes which we showed on the trains and we could use them to the Zurich airport train. Cases were transported from hotel to hotel . All hotels apart from Interlaken ( 10 minute quick walk no cases) were minutes to the train station and sights and restaurants. Trains were perfect , on time, comfortable and scenery amazing with snow in the mountains. Best day Zermatt Matterhorn perfect blue sky. Lucerne favourite city so much history . Our group so friendly and similar age recently retired with a few older . We had the best time and loved Switzerland. Next Trip a Deal already booked 2 for 1 Balkabs in October 2025. Flights with Qatar also great. Anne Holland

We thought our tour guide Claudia and bus driver Roberto were fantastic. Claudia was very passionate about her country, her knowledge and facts were interesting and nothing was too difficult for Claudia. She was approachable and answered all questions with confidence and if she didn't know something she would source the answer and return. Roberto's driving was capable and cautious and we felt safe at all times. He navigated his way through narrow bridges, busy streets and the open highway with such patience.

It was very organised. Had a wonderful time, the only thing that needs to change is letting msc that tripsadeal need to disembark at the same time to travel to Rome. Great holiday, all the attractions were wonderful. Went like clockwork. Tour guide fantastic. Thanks

Tour was fantastic All the guides were knowledgeable and helpful I loved Rome WOW what a place Maybe could have had another day there and more free time in Pisa but overall, a great trip. Service on MSC cruises was a bit poor

We loved all the cities that we visited. We think Lake Bled should become a part of the tour rather than an optional activity. We found MSC cruises very disappointing. The food was average, the service was mostly below par and requests were often not met. Another cruise line to similar Mediterranean destinations would have been better even if it cost a little more. Our guide was good but information and history could have been better. She was very friendly and helpful. Instructions around tariffs and taxes was confusing and each bus received slightly different information. Guide could have been a bit clearer with departure instructions. I think hand sanitizer and masks should be compulsory on all buses as many people got sick but did not go out and buy masks and then infected others on the bus.

Everything about this trip was wonderful. Not having to worry about transport of luggage was fantastic and made the daily experience so easy. Accommodation was always clean and well appointed. Highlights of the accommodation stays were Zermatt and Lugano. Hotels were always in close proximity to train stations. Breakfasts were always excellent. All train rides were fantastic and one highlight would be the Bernina Express. The 8 hour train journey from Zermatt to St Moritz was spectacular, however might be better if broken into 2 stages, however this would make the itinerary a day longer. St Moritz we felt was a bit underwhelming. We enjoyed free afternoons and not having to have group dinners - as this allowed us to explore and try different restaurants. Not that anything was wrong with our group - we had 18 plus our Tour manager and that was a perfect size for the group. We met some great people. The side trips (we did all 3) were excellent and well organised. Our Tour Manager Graham Croucher was excellent!!! Graham was friendly, affable, well organised and had a phenomenal knowledge of Swiss trains. He made us all feel welcome and supported, always offering to assist if we needed information or support in each local area. He entertained us with amusing anecdotes of his extensive rail travels and his knowledge of birds. We would highly recommend him as a Tour Manager for this trip and any further Trip A Deal train journeys. This was our first Trip A Deal trip or indeed organised tour and we loved it and will recommend to others. Additionally, we also loved the scope to extend our holiday by up to 60 days and are now visiting the UK. Thank you

We enjoyed it, however here are a few suggestions: didn't enjoy staying in Lomazzo with the only option to eat at the hotel for 4 nights. No immersion into the local community. We didn't enjoy the last 3 day stops in the Dolomites, as we arrived at lunchtime and shops were closed until 2.30pm. It would have been enjoyable to have had a cheese or wine/beer tasting organised with a local place, something different to do. Another suggestion would be a local hike instead of just walking around old towns. Our guide Alessio was good and very organised.

Mainly the scenery in the dolomite's and a lot of the historical sites. I think the first night should be in Milan to save back tracking a bit. The location of the first accommodation wasn't the best l think it would be better if you could explore Como in your free time or just to walk around and find a restaurant. The other main problem I thought was the free time in the towns in the dolomite's was wasted a little because of the time of year most shops etc were closed. Ps one other thing is some of the people were always complaining that they hadn't been to the bathroom and couldn't understand that you need to buy something like a coffee and use their toilets. Maybe that could be explained in the itinerary somewhere. This was our fourth TripADeal trip and just a couple of people made it less enjoyable. But still enjoyed Italy. Alessio our guide and Roberto the driver were excellent and tried hard to please everyone. Regards Tim

This is the first time I have done a tour with Trip a Deal. This particular tour was excelllent. I got to visit parts of Italy that I hadn’t seen before. Such a picturesque place and full of history. I would highly recommend this tour to others. The only change would be to have extra time in Alberobello to tour this absolutely beautiful town. Simona was a fantastic tour guide and was so helpful when we needed help.

Great guides

The places visited in Italy were great. Pompeii never fails to impress and continues to grow. Ortranto and Monopoli were marvellous, particularly as we had free time. The cruise was fabulous and Greece was spectacular. Corfu was our pick of all the places visited.
