Frequently Asked Questions

You offer well priced vacations. Why should I spend more money and hire a guide?

There are many reasons why I suggest touring with guides:

•   You get the experience of a lifetime because your tour is personalized.
•  You have the opportunity to become a guest rather than a tourist. Your guides share their love of their cities and cultures with you in English. 
•   You get to choose the time and places you want to see. 
• You are in control of your itinerary, whether to rest, shop, eat or explore.  

Why should I deal with a small travel company like yours?

I realize this is a difficult decision for you to make: there is no question Travel – World Discovery is unknown to many – so far. I hope this will help:

Pros:

• Prices are unbeatable.
• Service is exceptional. 
•  Member of the Better Business Bureau
• You can easily reach a live person response.
• Your vacation is personalized to match your needs. 
•  You decide who you want to travel with.
•  You decide how much you want to spend on what. 

Cons:

• Travel  - World Discovery is a small operation and does not have a "track record" - yet!

I hope I can convince you with this issue by:

• Suggesting you to contact Better Business Bureau to verify our good standing. Why not click on the seal now.
• Changing the method of "conventional" vacation payment. The payments made to Travel - World Discovery are minimal.  You pay the majority of the cost directly to the suppliers when the service is provided.  Your deposit, which is remitted to Travel - World Discovery, will pay for the deposits needed to confirm the reservations with the suppliers as well as our consultation fee.
• Providing you with copies of the reservation made in your name.

How can you provide vacations for such low prices?

We have been traveling in Italy for a number of years and have built strong relationships with a number of owners and operators.  Most of our recommendations have already been "tried and tested" by ourselves.  The owners and operators soon become our friends and  we share the discounted rates with our clients. It is our intention to make travel more affordable and to share different cultures.

You show examples of vacations and prices for groups of 6 or 8 people.  Do you organize these groups?

Every vacation is “made to measure”. I can provide a vacation for as little as one person. However, it may be financially beneficial to find others of like mind to travel with you.  This can be done through travel forums such as Trip Advisor.

Should I get travel insurance?

Yes, we recommend travel insurance.

What do the vacations include?

Each vacation  is custom designed. They include as much or as little as you want. However, they never include airfare.

Can you include meals with the vacations?

While it is possible, we rarely recommend the inclusion of meals.  It is in our best interest to ensure as much as possible the satisfaction of each client.  Everyone’s palate is different but sometimes, we are confident enough to include meals as well.
