Classic Italy Highlights (4 Star) - Private - 10 Days

Welcome to Italy! Upon arrival at Rome’s airport, meet your private driver for a comfortable transfer to your hotel in the heart of the city. After check-in, take the remainder of the day to relax or begin soaking in the Roman atmosphere—perhaps with a stroll to a nearby piazza or a leisurely dinner at a traditional trattoria. Overnight in Rome.

Fuel up with breakfast each morning before diving into the rich history and vibrant culture of the Eternal City. Your 48-hour hop-on hop-off bus pass gives you the flexibility to explore iconic landmarks such as the Colosseum, Roman Forum, Trevi Fountain, and Vatican City at your own pace. Listen to the onboard audio commentary for fascinating insights into each site. Spend your evenings at leisure, perhaps sampling Roman cuisine or enjoying a sunset over the Spanish Steps.

An MP3 audio guide will accompany the journey, offering enriching commentary.

These two days are yours to enjoy Florence at your own pace.

Enjoy the city’s slower rhythm, and perhaps end your evenings with local wine and Florentine steak.

Florence - Venice. After breakfast, check out and travel independently to the train station for your onward journey to Venice. Once you arrive, make your own way to the hotel and settle in.
