ITALY Readers's Tips - Hi JustMeToo, Can you provide us with more details Number many people Ages of children Number of days All flying from the same place What is your per person budget Thanks. Zoe

Zoe, thank you for your kind offer of help. posted my question on another message board and the response was overwhelming on the side of "you've got to be crazy".ust kidding. they explained that it was a big undertaking for someone who isn't experienced with planning international travel.o I've decided to go with a budget tour company. just need to figure out which one Thanks again for your reply. It depends what your aim is as well.f it's a whistlestop tour of all the "highlights" of the country, checking into a new city every night or two, then don't even think about organising it.his is what the tour groups do best. However if you just want a couple of weeks in two separate locations, with people taking daytrips out as andamp; when they want, then this really isn't too difficult to organise.here are plenty of apartments andamp; villas available for renting for up to 12 people each (which brings the per person cost right down.t can be feasible to get more than 1 villa in the same locality. I think it's important to ask the families what their aims are.here is no way you could organise a grand tour, but with their sympathetic support (i. clear ideas of what they're looking for in locations/cost/duration and with a positive outlook on their part it is feasible to organise a couple of bases. The key tasks will be to book flights and accomodation (work on both at the same time, so that you avoid the risk of having flight and no accomodation or viceversa.nce these are done, you could ask others to sort out details such as: transport to your local airport (and back at the end of the holiday Transfers from Italian airport to the villa Transport between the two locations (via local Italian bus company the same way you'd do it in your home town Transfer from 2nd location to departure airport. Purchasing of a selection of guide books to share amongst the group. Day trips can be easily organised locally, by train bus or boat, as could car hire if required (say if in Tuscany.he key to this is letting each family be as busy or relaxed as they choose. It's not much more effort than organising an independant holiday for two however a key factor is you'll need the unconditional support of everyone else.et this commitment first or risk aggravation later on. Best of luck whatever you choose. regards Ian
