We all know money is a delicate subject. The best way to use your money during your upcoming 2014 Italy Performance Tour with Incantato Concert Tours is to have a debit or credit card.
Paying with these cards allows you to minimize cash needs and also allows you to withdraw money from any ATM machine with only being charged a small withdrawal fee. The fee differs between banks. Be sure to call your bank before your departure to tell them where you are going and for how long so they won't freeze your account. The debit cards given by the bank has the compatibility of Visa, MasterCard, however, Visa is the most widely accepted worldwide.
If you bring cash, you can exchange it but you will lose more money as they charge for their services.
Please keep in mind that most places in Europe won't accept traveler's checks anymore. Also, be prepared to pay for water in restaurants/ bars and a little fee for restroom use (usually 0,50 EUR).
We suggest you have some spending money available and our recommendation is around 20 US-Dollar per day for the meals not included, snacks, drinks, postcards, some souvenirs. It is not imperative that you have this amount of money. There are many ways to lower your expenses such as:
- Most restaurants abroad have menus outside, so you can check their price range before you enter it.
- Venture off the main roads to find a restaurant. These usually have more character, better food, and also better prices.
- Bring your own water bottle. Most places have safe tap water to fill up with.
- Buy food from the "convenient" stores. You don't have to sit down in the restaurant for every meal.
- Hop around for souvenirs. Many stores have the same things on sale for very different prices.
Last but not least, remember that your Incantato Tour Manager is with you pretty much 24/7. The guide is there to help you make the right choices abroad and answer all the questions you may have.
