About 3-4 weeks ago we looked at “The Best if Italy 17 Days” tour. Unfortunately, I didn’t save the pricing info. My husband looked at the tour today and says the price increased $2000-$3000. I find this hard to believe, but wanted to check with those who may know. Thanks!

Certain dates may have been on sale if they were not selling well. Once those tours/dates get booked up, the sale ends. That is the only explanation I can think of. However, usually the sales offer a small discount of a few hundred dollars, not thousands of dollars.
Here are tours that are currently discounted:

He had to be looking at the wrong tour because those are the same 2025 prices for the 17 day Best of Italy since the day they published them. We've been looking at the Italy tours since they came out. There's no way they even increased that much from 2024 to 2025.
Maybe he was looking at Best of Tuscany 11 day but thought he was looking at Best of Italy 17 day?

Thank you both. I’ll bet he was not comparing the identical yours. Both of your responses match my suspicions! I’ll also look st the list of currently discounted tours for more options.
