Italy’s classic sights trip

Arrive in Rome and enjoy a private transfer to your hotel. The rest of the day is yours to relax, stroll cobblestone streets, or ask your local host to tailor a gentle introduction to the city.

Skip the lines to explore the Colosseum and Forum Romanum in a small group with an English-speaking guide who brings the ruins to life.

Stroll the cobblestones of the Via Sacra from the Colosseum to the Roman Forum, passing the House of the Vestal Virgins, Trajan's Column, and other ancient highlights.

Explore a lively Roman market in a small group, sampling seasonal fruits, vegetables, cheeses, and cured meats while learning what sets Italian ingredients apart.

Then head to a hands-on cooking class, where you'll prepare and enjoy a five-course Roman meal, starting with an appetizer, followed by three types of pasta, a main dish with a side, and dessert.

Travel by high-speed train from Rome to Florence, with private transfers to and from the stations for a seamless, stress-free journey.

Explore Florence at your own pace with personalized tips from local experts: priority entry to the Uffizi or Accademia, a private tasting at a traditional trattoria, or visiting artisan workshops in the Oltrarno.

Discover Florence at a relaxed pace on a small-group e-bike tour. With an English-speaking guide, ride through the historic center and up to Piazzale Michelangelo on a pedal-assist or fat-tire e-bike.

Later, join a three-hour hands-on class in central Florence to learn the secrets of traditional pizza and gelato. Get expert tips from a local chef, then enjoy the meal you’ve created.

Explore the rolling hills of Chianti, just outside Florence. Visit family-run farms to taste estate wines and extra virgin olive oil, learn traditional methods from local producers, and take in panoramic countryside views.

This half-day experience includes guided tastings, meetings with passionate artisans, and a deeper look into Chianti’s unique terroir: curated moments that feel both personal and unforgettable.

Take a regional train from Florence to La Spezia and Lerici, a journey of about two hours. Private transfers to and from the stations are included for a smooth connection.

Spend the afternoon strolling Lerici’s waterfront, sampling fresh Ligurian seafood, or exploring the museums of La Spezia. Use La Spezia as your base for discovering the Cinque Terre, with optional boat trips, scenic hikes, and private guided walks tailored to your interests.

Enjoy a privately guided hike along the Sentiero Azzurro (Blue Trail) from Monterosso to Corniglia, with hotel transfers included. This tailor-made walk adds local insight and personal attention to your Italy itinerary.

The route takes about three hours and is moderately challenging. Along the way, you’ll be rewarded with sweeping views of clear blue waters and dramatic cliffs, an unforgettable coastal experience.

After breakfast, enjoy a free day in coastal Lerici to relax and explore at your own pace. Stroll along the seafront, visit the medieval castle, swim in hidden coves, and sample Ligurian cuisine at family-run trattorias.

For something more personalized, we can arrange private boat trips to Palmaria or guided walks to nearby villages, tailor-made to match your interests.

From La Spezia, take a regional train to Florence, then connect to a high-speed train to Venice. Private van and water taxi transfers are arranged at each station for a seamless journey, no stress over luggage or timing.

This travel day becomes part of the experience, with coastal views, the charm of Florence’s station, and a dramatic arrival into Venice by water taxi. Tailor-made service keeps things relaxed, with local tips to help you make the most of your first evening in the city.

Begin your private walking tour of Venice in the Saint Mark’s area with a historical introduction to the former maritime republic. Visit the Doge’s Palace, St. Mark’s Square, and the Basilica, then continue to San Zaccaria.

Walk along the lagoon with views of San Michele and Murano, then head into the Cannaregio district, passing churches, palaces, Marco Polo’s former home, and the historic Fontego dei Tedeschi.

Finish at the Rialto Bridge and market, an ideal spot for picking up local mementos. After the tour, enjoy a 60-minute gondola ride through Venice’s atmospheric canals.

Enjoy a free day in Venice to explore at your own pace. Visit the Peggy Guggenheim Collection for modern art in a tranquil canal-side setting, or take a vaporetto to the quiet island of Giudecca for local cafés and lagoon views.

Browse artisan workshops in Dorsoduro, sip a spritz in Campo Santa Margherita, or simply get lost in the backstreets far from the crowds.

Savor your final morning in Venice with a slow stroll along the canals and one last coffee, soaking in the light and quiet corners that made your tailor-made journey special.

A private driver will meet you at your hotel for a seamless transfer to the airport, ensuring you leave Italy with warm memories and a smooth farewell.
