I have been on this tour last year and it's not a very expensive holiday as Ben has said breakfast and evening meal are catered for. When you are eating out on the tour day's you will be in the tourist places so meals won't be as cheap as outside the area. I had a good beakfast and evening meal and did not feel the need to eat to much in the day. You must try the italian ice creams they are to die for.. really very scrummy and very nice flavours so enjoy one of them wherever you can!!.
There is a little town not far from the hotel which is handy to wander to and stock up on bottles of drink or nibbles much cheaper than the tourist parts also nice to sit and have a coffee and watch the world go by, I love to people watch.
The hotel has a small bar and there is an outside veranda which is very nice, the hotel like you to run up a bar bill and settle at the end, you DO NOT have to do this but it worked very well for me.
You will have a great time on this tour not to hectic but with plenty to see.
