Deposits / Financial details / Cancellation policy
COST: Base price for the tour is $3,195. *Note: possible bus fuel surcharge. Although unlikely, due to the volatility of the current fuel costs, there could be a possibility in future of a surcharge from the bus companies if things do not stabilize. We do not think this likely and have never implemented this on any tour, but it is a possibility at time of final payment.
Single occupancy upgrade from $838 There are some upgrade choices for our Umbria hotel, including single occupancy options listed in above table.
First deposit: $700 due upon sign-up, plus an extra $50 per person per night for any extra Rome nights pre- or post-trip. First deposit is non-refundable. Don’t get trip insurance until the trip hits the minimum ‘it’s a go’ level. If it does not reach this minimum (which rarely happens), your deposit is, of course, refunded. But once it is a go, then the deposit should be protected by a policy. The initial deposit form must be filled out and emailed to us with the first deposit. Link to this form below.
Second deposit: $700 due December 15, 2026.
Final payment: January 31, 2027

How to get on board this tour
A $700 deposit is due upon sign-up.
Fill out the Initial Deposit Form linked below.
We highly recommend you protect your trip with a Trip Insurance policy. It protects your trip in case of an accident or illness that prevents you from going, as well as on-trip incidents such as lost luggage, trip delays, and, most importantly, medical coverage and evacuation. It is truly requisite for overseas travel. If you are under 70, look at World Nomads. If 70 or over, and for comparative policies and prices for any age, www.aardy.com.
Currency adjustment possibility: The Euro could strengthen between the deposit and the final payment in January. This is a risk with foreign travel. This could increase the final payment amount due.
Small local room taxes: There may be a small local room tax of a euro or two a night per room. It depends on the locale. These are not included and, if applicable, will be added to each room’s final bill, payable individually at checkout.
Minimum trip size: The trip price is based on 25 paying participants. There will be an adjustment to the base price as follows:
24 paying participants: +$45
23 paying participants: +$55
22 paying participants:+$65
21 paying participants: +$75
CRITICAL PASSPORT NOTE: Your passport cannot expire within 6 months of the trip dates. If it is even close, get a new one. Further, if your passport has a damaged cover or pages or if it does not have empty pages for stamps, get a new one.
GRATUITY POLICY At the end of each stay, guests are invited to contribute to a collective “thank you” for staff. Contributions are voluntary, with a suggested guide of approximately €200 per person for a 12-day tour. This amount is shared among servers, housekeeping, and drivers.
