Five tips to save money on your Italy multi-centre holidays

It’s a perennial problem – is it cheaper to travel independently, booking your own flights, accommodation and transfers, or pay for everything all together as part of a package deal?

If you are looking to stay in several different places during the same holiday, do you need to sacrifice any freedom of choice to enjoy the convenience of booking a complete package?

When you book Italy multi-centre holidays through us, you’ll find that you lose none of your independence, you continue to tailor your holiday to suit you and your family’s precise wishes, and save a pretty penny on costs into the bargain.

Here are five tips and suggestions, showing how you can make those savings:

1. Time is money

• your time is precious, yet it’s notoriously difficult to pin a definitive price on it;

• but consider the finding that the average independent traveller is likely to search 48 times on 8 different websites just to find the flights they want – according to Love Exploring;

• and that’s before you even start searching for your hotel or hotels;

• save yourself some of that valuable time and effort by drawing on our expertise and experience in putting together a bespoke, multi-destination in Italy on your behalf;

2. Enjoy the discounts

• the same source suggests that a package may be the more economical choice if you are holidaying for longer than a week or 10 days, and refers to the discounts typically available to travel companies when they purchase flights and hotel rooms in bulk, so that savings may be passed on to customers;

• it cites research conducted by Which? magazine to suggest that savings of as much as £500 may be made;

3. Exchange rates

• at a time when the value of the pound is in decline against other currencies, travel companies may also make better use of your money by securing more favourable exchange rates;

4. Security

• a correspondent at the Independent newspaper has also made the point that when you buy a package holiday through a UK tour operator, your money is protected through ATOL and ABTA, guaranteeing that, if something goes awry with your flights, accommodation or other travel plans, you don’t lose out;

5. One flight, two, three, four or more holidays

• on top of all these benefits, Italy multi-centre holidays arranged by us offer you the opportunity to enjoy two, three, four or more distinct destinations in one holiday for the price of just one set of return flights;

• pay for your flights to Italy and you have a choice of as many cities, regions or places, as the length of your holiday allows;

• you might include in your personal, customised itinerary all the hotel bookings you need, transfers, and any tours and excursions you might choose to immerse yourself in the rich heritage, culture and history of Italy.

Let us make your choice easier for you – choose the holiday you want, with as many cities, regions or places in Italy you wish, for as long as you like and at hotels that offer the standard of accommodation you’re after, and we’ll do the rest. We’re also fairly certain that you’ll end up paying less than the time, effort and money needed when you travel independently!
