Discuss exceptional

The hotel and room shown belong to that proposed style; further changes beyond it are quoted separately. A private guide does not mean private access to a venue.

These are indicative budgets, not confirmed offers or guaranteed availability. The stays, visits and transport above describe the proposed scope of each style. Dates, season, room choice and experiences affect the final total. International flights and meals are excluded unless specified. Your written proposal confirms the exact hotel, room, admissions, inclusions, total and booking conditions before you commit.

What we confirm before you book

These are proposed configurations, not confirmed bookings. Your written proposal names the hotels, room categories, guides, admissions and transport, with the complete price and cancellation conditions for your dates. A private guide does not mean private access to a venue. Requests depend on availability; no special entrance, room feature or restaurant table is guaranteed.

Hotel categories describe the selection we would propose, not a confirmed property. Room size, bed setup, views, air conditioning, lifts, step-free access, breakfast, taxes and facilities are checked for the actual hotel and room.

Optional enhancements are outside the configuration shown until selected and priced in your proposal. International flights, ordinary restaurant meals, drinks and table deposits are separate unless expressly itemized. A tasting or class includes only the food and drinks listed in the proposal.

Something particular in mind?

A different hotel, a special celebration, a slower pace, or something already booked? Mix these ideas or start from scratch. Tell us what matters to you and we’ll prepare a personal quote.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I really need to book the Colosseum & Vatican in advance?

Plan these visits in advance: timed entries depend on the date and availability. We discuss the ticket or guided visit that fits your day, then arrange the approved booking for you. Your itinerary in the app brings the confirmed admission details together; no slot is promised before confirmation.

What exactly do I get?

A hotel search matched to your budget, a day-by-day itinerary, three restaurant suggestions for each lunch and dinner, and the bookings you approve. Your local welcome, maps and reservation details are connected in the Chic Trip app, with personal support throughout the stay. The written proposal sets out the selected arrangements, inclusions and prices.

Will someone welcome us in Rome, and can we contact you during the trip?

Yes. A local greeter welcomes you during the first days, shares a coffee and introduces your neighborhood. This welcome is included in our tailored stays in Rome and across France and Italy. You can message Chic Trip 24/7 during your trip with questions or requests, and we coordinate with your guides, hotel and drivers when needed. Your proposal also sets out any airport or port transfer arrangements.

How do I pay for hotels and restaurants?

Your written proposal explains the price of the selected hotels, visits and transfers, what is included, and how and when each payment is made. We confirm the applicable cancellation conditions before you approve a booking. Restaurant meals are separate unless expressly included.

Can you plan Rome before or after our cruise?

Yes. Tell us your ship, Civitavecchia arrival or departure date, flight details and the number of nights you want in Rome. We coordinate the hotel, suitable transfers and visits around those fixed points. The three-night example is a separate starting point, not the six-day journey at a reduced or prorated price; we quote your actual arrangements.

Is this itinerary suitable for families?

Yes. We adapt the pace, restaurant choices and guided options to the children’s ages, and plan official timed entries around current availability.
