Euros!

How many will I need?
The least = 30 euros a day
This will get you a cheaper lunch (Pizza slice/ sandwich), 3-4 drinks and a snack or two.
Anything additional will cover your souvenirs, extra food, etc. This all depends on you! Remember you wont need Euros on our departure day or on our return trip. (We get fed on the plane.)

How many should I bring in cash?
Due to the large group size you should bring enough Euros IN CASH to hold you until day 5 (4th day in Italy). We cannot foresee IF or WHEN we can stop at an ATM until then.

What about VISA cards or Debit?
During our last tour, we had nothing but trouble with front loaded Visa cards. But if you are wary of sending your teen with a lot of Euros a debit card issued by a bank and connected to an actual bank account is the way to go. You MUST call the bank and let them know you will be in Italy - also note that there is usually a fee each time you withdraw abroad and also a per day withdrawal limit. This is also true for any credit card. Check with your company for the rules.
