My wife and I recently returned from spending 2 weeks in Italy. Not being seasoned travellers we wrestled with whether to go on an organized tour, ask an agent to book flights, hotels, trains etc. or to just wing it on our own. After some research and chats with travellers we decided to opt for the latter choice.
We started off our journey in Rome where we spent 3 nights. We then hopped on a high speed train and arrived in Venice where we stayed for three nights. Our next train ride took us to Florence where we lodged for another 3 and then it was off to Sorrento for you guessed it, 3 nights. While in Sorrento we did day trips to Capri and Positano. Back to Rome for our final night before heading home.
Along the way we booked a few organized tours with companies like Get Your Guide and Walks of Italy which filled our needs when we needed some structure. I must say that CHAT GPT and Gemini definitely helped us out both in trip preparation and while travelling.
My point in writing this article is that you shouldn’t be afraid to custom plan and design your own trip. All the resources you need are at your fingertips on forums such as this one and many more. Any questions? Just let me know. Good luck!!
