Day Tour to Pompeii from Rome? -...
Published (2009-11-26 18:10:00)
My opinion theres absolutly no need for any paid tour, especially from Rome . The trains worked great and a combo of Intercity & Circumvesuviana is 44 euro r/t while a tour from Rome would spend alot less time at the Ruins and be well over 100 euro per person Its 11 euro admission no CCs! theres an info office on the Left side simply ask for a booklet and map in English and it was far better then the couple of guides I sneaked along...

Snow Northern Italy February
Published (2009-11-25 10:26:00)
I have been in the Aosta region before. Is the Dolomite area in the east of N. Italy better/nicer than the Aosta area in the west? On another note, is the tunnel between Italy and France open during the winter? I know it has been closed on several occasions.

Some advice reflected your experience with the lines. As for the phone reservation - I expect that they would certainly charge your credit card to validate the thing...

First time in Milan (and Venice)
Published (2009-11-23 07:14:00)
Thanks all. One final question if I may before we leave. We'll get the train from Milan to Venice, I see that at the time we want to go trains are every 30 minutes so we will just hop on when we are ready. But the whole service is advertised as all-reservations trains. So how straightforward is it to just buy and reserve on the next departure when we get to the station. And can we get return tickets without giving a firm resevation time...

The night vaporetti down the Grand Canal run every 20 minutes (at least during the summer -- I don't have a winter timetable in front of me). From the S. Elena area, you can take a night vaporetto at 3:34am from Giardini (the night vaporetti don't stop at S. Elena) to have a comfortable connection at Piazzale Roma with the first #5 city...

I don't know what others will say about those museums, but I am going in early November and I asked the B&B in Florence where I will be staying about getting reservations ahead of time for the Accademia (to see David) and they said not to bother as there would be no lines.
I think the same may be the case for Vatican & Uffizi as ...

If you're okay with camping, I stayed at Camping Tiber this October for 5 days, as part of a 31-night 1000-mile long self supported cycling trip across the country. It's located at Prima Porta, a ten-minute commuter train ride from the Flamino metro station, at Piazza Populo, a very convenient place to start your explorations of Rome...

Ciao - we've flown Blue-Express a few times, most recently roundtrip from FCO to Nice. The planes were newer, service polite, and we were ON TIME. So, yes, given the opportunity, we would fly them again. Like any budget flyer in Europe, you will pay extra for EVERYTHING, so we avoided tons of luggage, the "insurance" kicker, etc. This ...

I don't know of an organized tour, which is what you are looking for I believe. But to get to Pompeii from Rome it would be train from Rome to Naples (EuroStar service available, down to inter-city and lower speed trains as well), and then the Circumvesuviana (if I spelled that right I'll be amazed) from Naples to Pompeii. It's a ...

well, the best place is for sure in Dolomites!
99% sure you will get snow! Beautiful Spa hotel right on the slopes, nice villages, cosy atmosphere, hundreds of kilometers of downhill skiing, helicopters tours, fantastic granite mountains!!!!
Be sure to rent a car with snow tyres and chains!

Always make reservations in Rome--it can be busy anytime . If only 3 days I suggest you do a half day guided tour--with a personal guide. Your hotel can suggest one. You can do a walking tour with bus rides if need be and get a really good idea of where you want to go further and what you can see. Something that you may want to ...
