- If you need some local cash, it is best to use an ATM. This is true for all European countries, except for Hungary. When you withdraw cash from an ATM, the currency conversion will be done automatically by your bank, and the exchange rate will usually be much better than if you exchange currency at a local bank.
- The tour program includes some walking tours, we recommend you to pack comfortable shoes.

Traveled to ItalyI know I will never be able to express how thankful we are for Tours to Europe and its team! You helped my mom, my sister, and I plan a trip to Italy for my mom’s 75 birthday. (Venice, Assisi, Rome, Pompeii, Herculaneum, and Capri) From the minute we landed in Venice until we were home it was an astonishing vacation! Everything was amazing and I mean everything! Every guide and every driver were so nice! They were all so compassionate about their jobs, very considerate of any questions we had, and so thoughtful!

Traveled to ItalyAn absolutely perfect trip. We are so grateful to Firebird and I cannot fault the entire process from start to finish. From the first phone call to discuss what we wanted to the perfect itinerary, the always punctual drivers and the friendly and knowledgeable tour guides, we had the best stress-free week in Italy. I was especially happy with the impressive hotels we stayed in (all in extremely central locations!) and that we were also given plenty of free time.
