  Yay! It’s nice to know that there are already a few people from these forums going there! :) I’m slightly nervous that I won’t know what to do in the meantime while some may go partying. xD I guess I’ve just read one too many not-so-good reviews about some tours… ^^; I’m keeping an open mind! xD

  Hehe, thanks for telling me that! :) It does reassure me a bit more about the trip.

  I’m just wondering why you’ve written the date of starting 24th of June? Isn’t it 25th?

  Well, it’s 24th on the north american site, where it’s just the day when we leave on the plane. xD I didn’t know this until after posting… ^_;

  I wanted to, but I wasn’t too sure at first. xD So I booked the trip and plane tickets through a student travel agency that was right there in my university’s campus. I feel slightly more secure when I’m dealing with a physical agency that’s nearby. xD That, and expedia.ca’s prices differed only by a few cents and I got more relevant advice. xDD How about you?

  My plane should arrive there 12:10pm on that day. xD I was hoping to find an earlier flight to see Rome a little before the whole group meeting, but it was the only time. That and 3 hours of lines in the airport and traffic should leave some time though, right?

  Well, I didn’t get the chance to pay for the optionals when I was booking it through an agency, because she said that I would just pay them there. I’m not 100% interested in the statue of David and am thinking about going to another museum or church that day. xD But, if you do want to go to it, I guess you could order a ticket in advance so that you don’t have to wait in line for it when you’ll get there? :)

  Hi! i couldn’t tell from this board, but who is going on the tour beginning May 20? My roommate and I are in our mid twenties and can’t wait to experience the people, food, and amazing sites. I studied renaissance art and definitely want to go to uffizi— I don’t know if it is a part of the tour or if i need to do that separately. same with the statue of David.
  Is anyone arriving in Italy a day early and/or leaving later? I am in the process of figuring out where to go after the tour is over (most likely spending an extra day in Venice then going cross country to Cinque Terra). Anyone else in a similar situation?

  @ RCG: Nah, I think most here are going here on the 25th of June trip. I’m trying to organize what to do before too. xD Could you post a small review and tips here later so that we can be more prepared? :)

  Also, I’ve made a new facebook group for the people going on the trip if you would all like to chat together! http://www.facebook.com/home.php?sk=group_223814734299424
