Just as is the case with accommodations, meals will in large part depend on your budget, as well as the daily schedule of the tour. Sometimes meals have to be fast as we go from sightseeing to a competition or from city to city; other times we can afford to sit down and take our time. But by and large, meals will be held in restaurants, most of which we have already used on previous tours. The food ranges from pasta and pizza to more traditional local foods. In some cases a pre-determined menu with, say, four possible choices will be given. In other cases the restaurant has pre-prepared meals (such as large pasta dinners). And, of course, there are times where you will be free to choose off the restaurant menu or given per diem for meals on your own. We can accommodate most dietary restrictions if you let us know in advance of your arrival. Keep in mind that in most places we travel, there are grocery stores, convenience stores, and American style fast food options throughout Europe.
