Italy Essentials: Venice, Florence & Rome
An escorted Italy vacation that bundles international airfare, hotels and guided sightseeing through Venice, Tuscany, Florence and Rome.
Why This Trip Stands Out
This is a strong fit for travelers who want to see Italy’s headline cities without piecing together flights, hotels, transportation and sightseeing on their own. The pace is active, but the itinerary still leaves pockets of free time in Venice, Florence and Rome.
- International airfare bundled with the land itinerary.
- Guided sightseeing in Venice, Florence, Pisa and Ancient Rome.
- Stops in Verona, San Gimignano and Siena between the major cities.
- Included food-and-drink experiences such as cicchetti, Spritz and Tuscan wine.
- Optional add-ons for travelers who want more guided time, museums or dining experiences.
Sample Itinerary
Days 1–3 | Fly to Venice
Depart the U.S. and arrive in the Venice area for two nights. Meet the tour leader, explore Venice with a guided walk and cicchetti tasting, then use free time for your own plans or optional experiences.
Days 4–5 | Verona, Florence & Pisa
Travel by motorcoach through Verona to Florence, with guided sightseeing and a Spritz tasting along the way. The next day includes Pisa before returning to Florence for free time or optional museum and dining experiences.
Day 6 | Tuscany to Rome
Cross the Tuscan countryside with time in San Gimignano, a wine tasting and a stop in Siena before continuing to Rome.
Days 7–9 | Rome & Return Home
Visit the Colosseum, Roman Forum and Palatine Hill with a guide, then enjoy a full free day for Rome, the Vatican or optional food experiences before flying home.
