Here is a tentative plan and cost of the trip Richard and I will be taking to Rome in November. If you’re curious about what we will be spending or if you’ve ever thought about going yourself but was overwhelmed by the costs, my estimated costs are below so that you can begin to think about whether you could afford a similar trip.
All of the costs except the Plane ticket and airbnb are approximate and taken from different travel sights and the Eyewitness Travel: Rome book that I got for trip as a reference. ($10 at half price bookstore)
The total cost for both of us is estimated at about $2,382.50 or $1,191.25 individually.
