What travelers are saying

""I do not recommend Windstar Cruises, at least not onboard 'Windstar'. The only reason I could see to sail with them is for the evening event in Ephesus, which was unforgettable. Reaching them via telephone, pre-cruise took 45mins+. Questions regarding one of Windstar's Private Driver & Guide tours I inquired about were not responded to, nor was a phone call made to me to report back. Instead, after 11pm, on the 3rd night onboard, I received an unacceptable, vague reply. Fortunately, in the week prior to cruise, my travel agent did a wonderful job of contacting a local tour/guide operator, and I had a wonderful experience. I sailed on The Windstar in August 2022 for a Greek Isles cruise. Unfortunately, I was underwhelmed in most aspects, except for the spa staff, who were wonderful, and cabin stewards, dining staff, and pool area bartenders/staff, who were excellent. While realizing it is a smaller 'sailing' ship, it needs a major upgrade/overhaul, or perhaps replacement with a new ship. Public areas, were substandard, pool had unsightly rusty colored sediment around the base of the waterline, whirlpool was neither heated, nor cooled, bed was uncomfortable, many times announcements by Captain could not be heard in cabin, nor were they repeated, in full, and slowly, a second time. Announcements meant for hallways or public areas only also were stated very quickly, and not repeated, slowly and with enunciation. I felt the destination briefings could have been interactive, with repeated times, and a fun, learning experience, with some ideas of what, and how, to experience the islands, other than the Windstar, or alternate booked excursions. Such as having information on car rentals, motorbike rentals, and perhaps a packet with information on all port calls, with maps, in the cabins, upon check-in, or a designated, sit-down office, wherein one could obtain information, comfortably, without interruptions. While I realize all lines are short-staffed the past couple of years, I felt it was grossly understaffed in the dissemination of information, reception, and destination briefing department, and that staff could have been available for a longer period of time for public Q & A's. I was actually distracted with number of times I heard 'Ladies & Gentlemen', during destination briefings, after almost every single sentence, that it interfered with information being given. While an understanding was reached after a couple days, and Reception improved, I was, one time, given an 'attitude' by reception staff, which won't easily be forgotten. My cabins portholes had exterior rust sediment build up which interfered with a nice view outside the portholes, and the smaller drain in the bathroom/head, outside the shower stall, had water coming up into/onto the toilet area and left the floorboards with that awful squeaky sound and also disallowed the use of fluffy area rug, instead needing 3 large towels to dry area after a shower. After this was reported to Manager, it was fixed, but by the night prior to end of cruise, it started happening again. I also feel the cruise rates, as compared to other lines, are overpriced. Perhaps Windstar's other, newer ships are different. One can only hope.""

What travelers are saying

"I recently took the Best of Australia and New Zealand tour...added on Fiji and a day in Auckland...with Discovery Nomads. During the booking process they were attentive and helpful. However, the nightmare began after paying for the tour! They told us we would receive our itinerary 10 to 20 days before our trip. It was sent 4 days before departure. We booked a tour for the trans alpine train from Christchurch to Queensland which we were told after the fact, that it did not exist. Furthermore, they failed to make a transfer reservation from the airport to our hotel in Christchurch. It took a week of constant sending of emails to get credit. They never answered them! Credit was finally issued almost 25 days later. The nightmare continues...we had to call each shuttle ride to confirm as their confirmation numbers were wrong and the local company could never find our reservations. So now add the cost of all the phone calls! Furthermore, when we reached out to Discover Nomads to help us while traveling, they NEVER answered their phone or a request for refund by email. We were completely ignored and left on our own. The only saving grace was we were traveling in English speaking countries. Can you imagine this happening to you in a country that doesn't speak English? Nightmare!!!!! And no assist from this horrible company. The only communication from them was for flight delays which we found out first by checking into the airport and one response asking for how much I paid for my transfer and proof of payment. I explained that it was all electronic and requested a refund of my original payment...heard nothing again from them until seven days later they sent an email stating that a meeting point had changed. So they had my email, just refused to deal with refunds or help. In addition, they had us waiting 15 hours for a hotel room in two flights. We were not allowed to stay in hotel lobby for so long and we arrived at 1:00am. We ended up paying for an early check in. Also, all internal flights were booked with 7.5 kg cabin luggage only. We had to pay baggage fees of $45 per bag. The costs of this trip were way higher then we anticipated. We had quotes for private tours just $2,000 higher...we should have booked that as we probably spent close to that amount in other fees!! TAKE MY WARNING...DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY!!!!!"

"This was an awesome sailing ship that held 170 people from all over the world. Loved the fact that it never used the motor but it was there in case of emergency. And it didn't overwhelm you with climbing walls, spas, 30 restaurants, gambling, etc. etc that the huge moving hotel ships provide. A truly unique experience !"

Senior Tours in Italy Tour Selection Trips

  • What is the Best Time To Travel to Italy?
    The best time for seniors to travel to Italy is during the spring (April-May) and fall (September-October) when the weather is mild and crowds are fewer. Alternatively, consider visiting in the winter for a quieter experience with fewer tourists.
    What is the Weather Like in Italy?
    Generally, Italy experiences a Mediterranean climate — sunny and dry with mild temperatures year-round, especially in coastal areas and southern Italy, cities like Sicily and Naples. In northern Italy, cities like Milan and Venice have cold winters and hot summers. Italy offers a diverse climate, making it an ideal destination for travelers throughout the year.
    What To Pack for a Trip To Italy? 
    Pack lightweight and breathable clothing and bring layers if you visit Italy in cooler months. Comfortable walking shoes are a must for strolling through cobblestone lanes. And don't forget mosquito protection, especially during the warmer months. 

    Remember to carry euros and coins for convenience, as many places prefer cash payments over cards.

Additional details

Italy is by far the most popular destinations for a guided tours for seniors. It’s popularity stems not just from a perfect combination beautiful weather, a gorgeous countryside and coastline, world renowned food, art, and culture -- Italian life moves at a slower, more indulgent pace. It’s this climate and way of life -- “La Dolce Vita” -- that makes for a flawless vacation.

Types of Italy Guided Tours for Seniors 

There is more than one way to explore Italy, especially if you’re not up for a high intensity cycling or hiking adventure. Many seniors choose to get to know the country by coach tour, cruise, or a guided educational tour.

Coach Tours in Italy
Coach tours are a great way to get to know Italy’s countryside. They make hard to reach places accessible, and provide great views along the way. In a guided coach tour of Italy, the traveler doesn’t have to stress about the best route and what stops to take, or struggle with transporting and watching their luggage. If this sounds appealing to you, but you are worried that you may be sacrificing luxury or comfort, consider a high-end coach tour.

Cruise
What could be better than an idyllic cruise through the gorgeous, crystal-blue waters of the Mediterranean? Spend the beginning and end of every day this way by touring Italy by cruise.

With so many iconic, culturally rich cities along the coast of Italy and its islands, there are dozens of routes to take. Would you rather focus only on Northern Italy? Or is visiting other countries too hard to resist, and Italy only a pitstop on your cruise also stopping in Croatia and Montenegro? Whatever your preference you can find the perfect trip on Stride.

Educational / Learning
Italy is inextricable from its rich culture, history, and artistic scene. If you are passionate about these topics, and interested in learning more, consider bolstering your knowledge on an educational guided tour. Going on an educational group tour will add depth and meaning to any tour, and you will gain appreciation for the country’s renowned landmarks, and why they are this way.

Senior Tours in Italy

A guided tour meant specifically for seniors means things will move at a more relaxed pace. The tour guide will likely allow extra time for certain things. Instead of rushing seniors from destination to destination, seniors might be allowed to enjoy an extended reprieve at a café, and sit with a petite cappuccino while people watching. Extra attention will also be paid to the finer aspects of the traveling, such as guaranteeing comfortable lodging, and good, hearty meals.
