High level like: 1. Itinerary by day 2. Places you stayed (hotel) 3. Local transport 4. Any other tips, dos/dont's 5. Any online links which can help in planning the trip I know it's 10 years old but still be very helpful. I learned long ago, never to wrestle with a pig.

Anand_n:Vatican by self versus guided tour - which is better
history interest ante guided tour...else freega meere atu itu thiragandi...don't miss to go on top of vatican...super view...I think you need to buy a 5 EUR ticket standing in a queue...but worth...oka 1000 steps andvery exciting view
Anand_n:Also same questions for Pisa from Florence - not planning to rent a car unless there is a benefit
worst part of my Italy trip...Pisa...paisal dhandaga place...tigada huva khamba...nothing else...better you plan for Venice....most memorable place.. In general Rome by walk, super untaadhi....

We went by train. And bus/cab locally. It was a good experience. But the tower itself wasn't all that impressive.

Anand_n:Vatican by self versus guided tour - which is better Same question for other sites in Rome
Guided tours lo disadvantages: Limited time at each site. If you want perfect shots/pictures, it will not work. Guide language with accent ardam avutundo ledo cheppalem. But audio guides untayi for renting. That should be plenty. Advantages: Guides Full details istaru. History buffs baga enjoy chestaru. Rome is not too big to walk around and find places. Just download offline maps on your phone before heading there. |

Anand_n:2 days Venice, 2 in Florence, 2 Rome , 3 Sorrento to relax on Amalfi coast , quick hop in santorini and couple days in Athens
Amalfi is beautiful. Rome - 2 days is woefully short but whatever you can see will all be worth it. dont miss the drinking water from the street faucets. built in the BC era and still functioning. also saves money. florence to pisa is a drive worth doing. We drove and got a chance to see some midieval GOT type castles enroute. also the Italian country side is nice. venice is hyped. dont get duped by the glass sellers there. otherwise ok place. I would rather spend an extra day in Rome. |

2 days not enough for rome. especially if you are an art lover. Vatican self is alright. don't need guides per se. depending on your timing, lines can get quite long. how many days in total for the trip? can suggest an itinerary .. |
