8-Nights Italy's Icons: Venice, Florence & Rome - Custom Groups of 10+

Experience the romance, history, and flavours of Italy on this unforgettable nine-day journey through its most celebrated cities and countryside. Begin in Venice, a city woven from water and stone. Glide along serene canals by gondola, explore St. Mark’s Basilica, and create your own Venetian mask, connecting with centuries of tradition.

Travel through Tuscany’s rolling hills to Pisa to admire its famous Leaning Tower, then settle into Florence, the heart of the Renaissance. Marvel at Michelangelo’s David, stroll through medieval streets, and gaze over the city from Piazzale Michelangelo. Venture into Chianti to sample fine wines in ancient castles, savour local delicacies, and wander charming hill towns where time seems to stand still. In Lari, step behind the scenes at a tiny family-run pasta factory, learning secrets passed down for generations.

Journey onward to Assisi, the tranquil birthplace of St. Francis, before arriving in Rome. Here, the grandeur of ancient civilisation unfolds at the Colosseum, Palatine Hill, and the Roman Forum. Discover masterpieces within the Vatican Museums, the Sistine Chapel, and St. Peter’s Basilica.

Conclude with a day in the Alban Hills, where volcanic soils nurture exceptional wines. Explore Castel Gandolfo’s lakeside beauty, once a papal retreat, and savour a final tasting in the countryside.
