Can I book a tour from here?

Pronunciation

pre-no-TA-re — four syllables, stress on the third.

When to use it

Ask at the hostel reception desk where tours to nearby sites and attractions can often be booked at a discount.

What it means

'Posso prenotare' = can I book. 'Da qui' = from here. Hostel receptions in Italian cities often act as booking points for local tours, providing discounts compared to booking independently. Day trips to Pompeii from Naples, Cinque Terre from Florence, etc. are commonly available.

Variations

Hostels often get better rates for their guests through agency agreements
