We are going on the Bellissima Northern Italy leaving July 5, 2014. Any fellow travelers? Also, anyone know what type of weather to expect and what type of clothes to bring?

If you go to the web page for your tour, there is a tab, Before you Go, there is a link to average temps for all the cities you will be traveling to, plus rainfall averages. There is another section of advice for clothing which is repeated in 'Packing Tips' The main thing that everyone seems to be in disagreement on all locations is the need for men to wear a jacket, jacket and tie, or neither. We are always loath to take the jacket because of the room it takes up in a suitcase. What generally happens is that some men wear jackets to the Welcome dinner, then you never see the jacket again. At the Farewell dinner, there may be just a couple of men in jackets. 'Evening wear' as described by Tauck in General appears to mean nice pants and tops for women, and then for men, shirt and chinos with or without that disputed jacket/tie. Have a great time
