Autumn in Italy: Small Crowds, Big Savings

It’s always a good time to indulge in luscious wines, taste scrumptious foods and explore the rich history of Italy. However, fall is an ideal time to visit because of mild weather and fewer crowds. This time of year savings of more than $1000 per person are offered on vacation packages, hotels and airfare.

Get a taste of Italy’s most well-known and beautiful cities with a trip to Venice, Rome and Florence from $999 per person for nine-nights, including air. Explore the canals of Venice, throw coins into the Trevi Fountain for good luck in Rome and enjoy a Tuscan dinner or a night out in Florence.

Looking for a more rustic and relaxing vacation? Why not stay in a castle! This six-night Tuscany package from Sceptre Tours with air and rental car saves as much as $1000 per person. Some dates in November are available.
