First Time to Italy : Escorted Tours to Italy : QueensLanderTours.com

We've all had a first-time trip to somewhere! We'd like to make your first visit to Italy as smooth, entertaining and wonderful as possible.The most important factor in your trip to Italy may not be group size. But we think it's right up there near the top. We've identified these four primary components which dramatically affect your vacation in Italy.
Size of Group	Itinerary	Hotel Location	Dinner Location
Our Italy tour group will never be more than 16 guests. Compare that with the mainstream tour operators of 24 or more. 16 Guests. That's it. Ever!	We recommend Italy's Great Cities Tour as your first-time experience in Italy. It truly is the perfect combination of introduction and immersion experience for Italy: You'll visit the canals of Venice, the cobble-stoned streets of the city of the Renaissance, Florence, the rolling hills and exquisite villas of Tuscany and Umbria and experience the majesty of Rome.	Folks can say, “Centrally Located.” But we mean it. All of our tour itineraries feature 4+ and 5 Star hotels truly located in the city and town centers ~ Near where you want to be ~ our biggest pet peeve is when mainstream operators charge high prices on their tours and then place guests in hotels, for example in Venice, on Lido (far away from San Marco!). Our philosophy is simple: you’ve paid good money for the experience — so why house you on the outskirts of town?	QueensLander guests do not dine at the hotels. Instead we choose to take you to off-the-beaten-path dining venues - authentic regionally-influenced restaurants that do not see the large tour groups.

Things to Keep in Mind Do you know if you're looking for an Escorted tour versus independent travel? Our tours are low-stress, well-thought-through experiences for about the same price you'd pay to travel independently. Rick Steves’ points out about the well-organized tour that it is, “important to keep in mind that much of the money an independent traveler might appear to save can be quickly lost to time-consuming hotel and transportation hassles, and inevitable mistakes.” What if I am traveling Solo? Our Great Cities Tour as well as all of our tours feature solo occupancy rooms. And our Tour Captains are trained to ensure you have the time of your life just like any other of our guests! What if I am traveling with my family of 3, 4 or more? Which tour should I consider? If you are planning to travel with your teenage son or daughter (or grandson or granddaughter), the Italy's Great Cities Tour is the perfect pitch! A variety of activities with outstanding local guides keep even the youngest of minds engaged. Our tour Captains are trained to ensure everyone is enjoying themselves and challenged with discovery. Why should I go with QueensLander Tours over other leading brand names? Other than the size of our group, the variety in our itineraries, the location and quality of our hotels, the type of dinners we include and the service-driven nature of our tour staff...hmm, what else is there? Oh yeah! You'll never be on a large bus, you'll never scamper after your tour director who is 40 plus people ahead of you, and you'll always be treated as our guest!
