Picture this: You step out of the Naples airport and breathe a sigh of relief because you’ve finally made it to Italy, and your dreams are coming true. You see me there waiting to pick you up and immediately know that you are taken care of. I load up your bags and you sit back, relax, and enjoy the coastline as we drive to our villa. You wake up the next morning in a stunning villa on the Amalfi Coast overlooking the ocean. You don’t have a care in the world because everything is taken care of for you. You are looking forward to your yacht excursion to see the coastline and the stunning island of Capri, and you feel totally relaxed.
That’s what this trip is for. Complete relaxation. Once you sign up for the trip, I take care of the rest. You don’t have to worry about logistics, which hotels to stay in, how to navigate the cities, what to do next. I’ve got it all taken care of for you in the best way possible. From stunning villas to private chefs, you’ll get to experience Italy in the most relaxed way possible.

If you have someone who is joining the trip with you/sharing a bed, just let me know! Just please make me aware as soon as you sign up so I can plan for it! Examples of room setups below for reference.

FAQ’s
Are Payment Plans Available?
Yes! I require a $1000 non-refundable deposit at the time of booking. After that, we can work out a payment plan that works for you. The entire balance needs to be paid off one month before the trip begins.
What is the Average Age Range?
Adventuring With Shannon’s Tours do not have an upper age limit because Shannon believes that adventure doesn’t have an age limit. These tours are created to cater to the needs and desires of women who are looking to experience a more upscale style trip instead of backpacking through hostels and more of a cultural experience than a partying one. These trips accept anyone over the age of 18 but our average age range is late 20s to retirees.
Will Shannon Send a Packing List?
Yes! Soon after booking, you will receive a packing list, a full itinerary, and other important information.
What Meals Are Included?
Most lunches and and a few dinners are on your own because I believe that so much joy in travel comes from food. The ability to stop at a cute restaurant that you found is an invaluable part of the travel experience. That being said, eating at those cute cafes as a group or with friends is also an option! “On your own” doesn’t have to mean alone if you don’t want it to. Shannon will provide dinner recommendations each night and you will have the option of joining the group or finding your own unique place.
Included in the price is daily breakfast because I believe that you should be able to ease into your day fully fed and ready to experience the wonders of Italy. I work with a private chef to provide breakfast so please let me know if you have any dietary restrictions (I have experience planning travel for Celiacs).
Why Aren’t Flights Included and How Can I Book Them?
Flights are not included in the price as women are coming from multiple different locations, and I don’t believe that it is fair to announce one price that may be overcharging one woman to subsidize the price of another woman whose flight might be more expensive. However, I am a Cheap Flights Expert and even run a Facebook Group and am happy to aid you in booking an affordable plane ticket to and from Italy. You will want to fly in and out of Marrakech.
What If I want to Arrive Earlier?
If you would like to arrive early in Naples for any reason, I can arrange an earlier airport pickup and another day of hotels at cost. Just let me know in advance so that I can work it out for you.
How Big Is The Tour?
In order for the trip to run, a minimum of 6 people need to sign up. The group maxes out at 12 people.
What If I Have Questions?
If you have any questions at all, you can email me at shannon@adventuringwithshannon.com. I will also be creating a group message for everyone to communicate prior to the trip. That way you can post any questions you may have as others may have the same question! This will also allow you to get to know some of your fellow travelers before the trip!
What Types Of Payment Do You Accept?
Payment can be done through Paypal or any major credit card through a secure portal on my website.
Trip Insurance
While I will have my own trip insurance for the group in case of emergencies and for general liability. I require you to get your own personal travel insurance for the trip. World Nomads and Safety Wing both offer great insurance programs that will cover you in the case of a medical incident. Once you have gotten your travel insurance, I will need you to send it to shannon@adventuringwithshannon.com so that I can add it to your documentation.
Passports
You will need a VALID passport to travel on this trip. It cannot expire within 6 months of the trip.
COVID-19
Your travel insurance should cover you in the case that you get or are exposed to COVID-19 and cannot make the trip. Be sure to read the travel insurance policy when purchasing it to be sure that it includes this option. You will need to follow all country guidelines when traveling as well.
