ITINERARY:
I would highly recommend that our group do the extension to Capri and Pompeii. If travelers feel like it is just too expensive, then we don't have to; but, since we're all the way over there, I think we should do it. I've been a few times and it is absolutely spectacular! For a more detailed view of the itinerary, go to the link below. www.eftours.com/eliterature/dbd/n/bit.pdf On the 3rd page, you'll see a detailed itinerary of the Bell'Italia trip. CHECK OUT THE VIDEO SHOWING WHAT THE TOUR IS LIKE! TIPPING GUIDE & DRIVER
EF Guidelines for tipping our driver and tour guide -- both of whom will be with us during our entire stay -- is as follows: DRIVER $2.50 - $3.00 per day TOUR GUIDE $6.50 - $7.00 per day I collect the tips ahead of time to dole out at the end. I will talk specifics with you later on. Sounds like math. I'll get my calculator and get back to you later. TIPPING LOCAL TOUR GUIDES
Our tour guide is banned from giving tours in certain areas, because country's ban those who are not highly qualified and licensed in specific areas. For these local tours, tipping is usually $1 for 1/2 day tour and $2 for a full day tour. |
Cost of the 2016 Trip:
Please be aware that the price will often rise as time presses on due to airfare increases. The best advice would be to sign up ASAP and lock in your price. As we move closer to departure, the price will increase in increments of $25-$100 per month. ACT NOW! The prices below may not be 100% accurate since EF bumps up the price as we near departure. Check at the EF website for up-to-the-minute increases using our trip code 1921892YK: Total price $4125. for Students (under 20) $238 per month $4520. for Adults $261 per month (Each month you don't lock into to these dates after 12/5/16, the monthly payment will increase) Price details All-Inclusive Coverage Plan $155 EF's Peace of Mind Program Free Monthly payment plan is available and suggested. See payment options below. (IF ANY ADULT WANTS TO ADD THE 2-DAY Pompeii and Capri EXTENSION, CHECK WITH ME, AND I'LL GIVE YOU THE PRICE. If the group decides to add the extension, then we can all do it!) What IS included in the Pricing:
What is NOT included in the Pricing: Passport (see passport information below) Lunches, snacks, and beverages Gratuities: Tour director and bus driver tips (see bottom of 1st column on this page) Optional Excursions IF YOU'RE THINKING THAT THE TRIP IS EXPENSIVE, CONSIDER THIS...... Flying to Europe during the summer often costs about $2500 round trip. Then add food and hotels and tours and admission fees. EF Tours are well worth the cost. It's truly an educational experience you'll remember for the rest of your life! No price tag you can put on that. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Two Payment Plans: 1st Option: Monthly Payment Plan (No Charge for this Option -- Highly Recommended) By far, the monthly payment plan is the better of the two options. It's automatically deducted at a low monthly rate without you having to meet deadlines. It also allows you more time to pay before departure. Also the sooner you start making the monthly payments, the lower the amount will be per month. Going with this plan gives you assurance that you won't miss any deadlines and have to pay late fees. 2nd Option: Manual Payment Plan ($50 charge for this option) If you decide to go with the manual payment plan, pay attention to the due dates: A.) $95 upon enrollment B.) $250 within 30 days of enrollment (late fee $75) C.) $200 by (late fee $75) D.) Balance (excluding departure fees) due 110 days prior to departure (late fee $125) E.) Remaining balance (including departure fees) due 30 days prior to departure.
