We like our beauty sleep, but we also like making the most of our time abroad and avoiding crowds. On the average day, we begin our touring following breakfast at 9:00 am. This changes a little day to day when it makes sense. For example we get started a little early the day we visit the Vatican on our Signature Italy Tour, because even during the slow season the crowds can get pretty big in the Holy See. On the flip side, we start later on our first full day of each tour, giving you time to catch up on sleep and fight off the jet lag.Â
