/ Discover Italy with R/I/T /
|
|
|
|
A view at night, a view at day. It's spectacular anyway. From the
|
|
Grand Canal in Venice, to the Fabulous stores in downtown Milan, Res-
|
|
Nick International Tours will take you there, with 110% of our effort.
|
|
We have established a goal to fully appreciate the artistic richness
|
|
and natural beauty of different country, and then put it in the eye of
|
|
the beholder; you.
|
|
For over 60 years R/I/T has been creating exotic and exciting tours
|
|
to Italy and thus have acquired the experience and professionalism
|
|
placing us top of the list of specialists to Italy. With our latest 21
|
|
day trip, we have organized a top notch itinerary from our past
|
|
remarks of elite attractions, and zipped it up into a magnificent 3
|
|
week tour of Italy's best sites. This semi-escorted trip takes you
|
|
through Turin, Milan, Venice, Florence, Sorrento, Capri, Pompei, and
|
|
'Romeantic' Rome. You'll see such sites like the Cathedral in Milan,
|
|
the Leaning Tower of Pisa, or even our exclusive tour of the Secret
|
|
Vatican Gardens. Or maybe you like a more
|
|
historical adventure. Don't worry. R/I/T also takes
|
|
you to the Historical Colosseum, the old-fashioned streets of Rome, or
|
|
even Renaissance Florence. But whatever your needs, R/I/T keeps
|
|
everything very flexible for you, the customer. We have chosen a
|
|
tailor made formula allowing you to plan your trip according to your
|
|
rhythm and style. This is why we do not fully guide your vacation. It
|
|
makes it cheaper on your half, and also gives you time to recheck
|
|
areas or sites that you like yourself. We leave time for you. So come
|
|
on in to one of our authorized travel agencies, and we'll give you all
|
|
the time you need to decide about your vacation. It's because
|
|
we're there for your benefit, not ours.

/ Climagraphs of Italy /
|
|
|
|
The climate of Italy is much like the one of Toronto. They receive
|
|
around the same temperatures as Toronto, and the precipitation is also
|
|
close. It would be wise to avoid the months of June, October,
|
|
November, and December for there are high amounts of precipitation.
|
|
The optimum time to travel to most places in Italy would be in July,
|
|
where the Precipitation is minimal, and the Temperature is perfect for
|
|
swimming, and other recreational activities. (Around 67/F to 87/F).
|
|
Beside there are two climagraphs of Italy. One for Milan, and one for
|
|
Rome. The two are much alike.
|
|
|
|
/ Tourist Information /
|
|
To get the most out of one's vacation to Italy. There are many things
|
|
the ave rage tourist must know, in order to optimize the trip to its
|
|
full value. People have learnt a few inside tips after travelling to
|
|
Italy as a noticed tourist. The first thing is, if one does not have
|
|
millions of dollars, it is wise to avoid the city of Milan. Every
|
|
thing t here is extremely expensive, and the price is doubled
|
|
discreetly for tourists. For instance (actually anywhere in Italy for
|
|
tourists), a local may walk in an ask the clerk how much a pair of
|
|
shoes is. Stores never put price tags on most of their merchandise,
|
|
so the clerk my say 90,000 Lira. But, when a tourist walks in, the
|
|
clerk will probably say 200,000 lira. This happens from boat rides to
|
|
a cup of coffee.
|
|
Another thing to remember is to never sit down in Milan. What is
|
|
meant by thi s is that there is a standing area, and a sitting area in
|
|
cafes. If one chooses to sit down, the store will surely add on a 30%
|
|
gratuity charge for the seat. Yes, it is a major scam, but it is
|
|
perfectly legal.
|
|
A few things one should know are a few statistics about Italy. The
|
|
base curre ncy is the Lira. The conversion is about 1,046.95 lira to
|
|
one Canadian dollar. The time zone there is GMT+1, which is 6 hours ah
|
|
ead of Eastern Standard Time (Toronto). The total cost for that 21 day
|
|
trip would be around $7000 in the high season, and $5500 in th e low
|
|
season. (Courtesy C.I.T tours)
|
|
The country's main language is Italian (94%). 98% of the ethnic
|
|
groups are It alian. The other 2% are different groups. 83% of the
|
|
religions are Italian. 14% are non-religious. The other 3% are
|
|
Atheist.
|
|
Talking about imports and exports, clothing and textiles are the most
|
|
common. Shoes are also very popular. This is why most people bring
|
|
home souvenirs of only new blouses, designer suits and shoes. The
|
|
balance of trade is -$2,167,000,000 for more importing than export.
|
|
This is bad for investors of the country, for it's economy is dec
|
|
lining in the trade areas.
|
|
There are also many transit systems in Italy. Most of them consist of
|
|
high sp eed trains, which connects almost every major city. There are
|
|
about 4 different train companies, such as ATAF, and AS.
|
|
A visa is not required for most travelers with valid passports
|
|
entering as to
|
|
urists for less than three months. It is required though
|
|
for longer periods, and purposes other than tourism. Health-wise,
|
|
there is dri nkable tap-water. The facilities are also very clean.
|
|
Around 25,935,000,000 tourists travel there each year. Tourist
|
|
receipts are around $1 1,984,000 per year. The telex access code is
|
|
843, and the ham radio prefix is 'I'. Overall, it is very much like
|
|
Canada, and Toronto, bu t the sights are much more extraordinary. It
|
|
is truly a place to observe for yourself...
