Itinerary

Day 1  Rome    
Buongiorno! Rome kicks off your epic Italian trilogy. After checking in to your hotel, spend the rest of the day relaxing or pound the pavements to discover why Rome so deserves its title, the 'Eternal City'. Later, you’ll meet up with your Travel Director and fellow travellers for a glimpse into what lies ahead.    

Day 2  Rome          
Today you’ll explore Rome, why not join a tour to Michelangelo's famous Sistine Chapel and the Vatican Museums? Get to grips with the city's main attractions, joining a Local Specialist at Vatican City, the world's smallest country. Visit St. Peter's Basilica and view one of Michelangelo's greatest works, the sorrowful Pietà. Cross the Tiber next, to view the mighty Colosseum and the countless other ancient sites which featured prominently in the days of the powerful Roman Empire.  

Day 3  Rome to Florence  
Set your sights firmly on Florence, the birthplace of the Renaissance. But first, a mesmerising journey through the rolling vineyards and olive groves of Tuscany awaits. Visit Pisa and its Square of Miracles, one of the most beautiful architectural complexes in the world, the extraordinary Leaning Tower of Pisa. This evening, take the opportunity to head into the Tuscan Hills for an unforgettable dinner.

Day 4  Florence  
There are few cities in the world with an artistic legacy equal to that of Florence. Lace up your walking shoes and view the city’s most iconic sights on foot – from Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore to Giotto’s Bell Tower and Ponte Vecchio. You’ll visit Piazza della Signoria and witness a demonstration revealing the centuries-old Florentine trade of leatherwork, followed by some time to explore on your own. Enjoy dinner this evening at your hotel.

Day 5  Florence to Venice  
Journey across the dramatic Apennine Mountains to Verona, the home of Shakespeare's star-crossed lovers. View the vast Roman Arena and Juliet's Balcony which reveals the tragic story of the Montague and Capulet family feud. Your journey continues to Venice, where you’ll have the evening to start exploring this romantic city on your own.  

Day 7  Venice  
Cruise by private launch to St. Mark's Square, in the heart of Venice. All the main attractions are within walking distance of the Piazza so you'll have easy access to view the Byzantine Basilica of St. Mark, which you could visit if you wish. Spend your time wandering the calle of Venice then watch talented master craftsmen at work. Witness the beautiful glass creations, that are characteristic of Venice. Consider a cruise across the lagoon to the colourful island of Burano.  

Day 8  Venice  
This memorable encounter with Italy’s favourite cities has been brimming with culture, history and culinary delights. For now, it’s arrivederci, but not farewell forever as you say goodbye to your Travel Director and newfound friends. Transfer to the airport for your departing flight.
