ITALY Readers's Tips - When you get to Italy, go to a tabacchi shop and buy a calling card they are incredibly cheap and handy.ou can make many calls on a fiveEuro card, you will be amazed. Telephone in Europe is much easier and smarter than in the US everybody has a cell, it costs nothing to receive calls, and as a rule telephone manners are better observed, less hollering and inappropriate behavior in crowded places (although there is always the exception to be found. Wait til you get there.

I totally agree with Michael, those phone cards are the best thing available.e called almost everyone we know, and some were so surprised we would call them from Italy.t's so inexpensive and easy to use, I wouldn't bother bringing a cell phone. I used the Europa card last month all through Italy.Only five euros for 200 minutes to US, Canada..ven used it in phone booths without having to put in coins first.

Would appreciate any feedback on Colette Tours to Italy, including rating of hotels, proximity to center of cities, site satisfaction, etc.Thanks in advance.
