Not sure which part of Italy to visit? Just visit it all! Breathe in history as you explore the Colosseum or the ruins of Pompeii. Stare out at the glittering azure sea from the terrace of a multicoloured village clinging to the cliffs in the Cinque Terre. Experience wild nature and extreme chic on the banks of Lake Como. Sample thick, luscious red wines, pasta so light it feels like eating air and pizza that will redefine the way you think about this everyday dish. 

 

Italy is one of the most densely highlight-packed countries on earth. The cities are simply incredible, awe-inspiring architecture effortlessly blends with a rich history of art, culture and gastronomy to create a memorable experience with every step. The countryside that links them is inspiring, rolling Tuscan hills crowned with extraordinary towns, the dramatic Dolomites painting a jaw-dropping background to chic Lake Como.

Other Info
highlights

Discovering Italy is such a thrill. Almost every little town and village are worth visiting, never mind the incredible cities, so we wanted to create a tour that was more than just a tour. We wanted to create an adventure, to instil that thrill of exploration, of travelling, but with absolutely no hassles. So, we linked up the finest spots in the whole country using the Italian National Rail service. This way you get to travel like a local, to see everyday Italian life and mix with the locals, rather than completely from the window of a coach. 

 

This style of travel expends to the inclusion of a 48hour Cinque Terre Park Card, which gives you access to the trains that link the UNESCO World Heritage 5 towns, so you can walk a trail to one and get the train home, or on to the next town. We have also included local experts at most points on the tour, ensuring that the trip is brought to life for you and a little wine tasting in Chianti, because it wouldn’t be a visit to Italy without it. 


location

This wonderful adventure begins in the Italian capital, Rome where you will be met at the airport and transferred to your first hotel. After time exploring Rome and a day trip to Naples and Pompeii, you will board the train and head to Florence. Exploring this fine city and the rolling Tuscan countryside surrounding it, you will then make your way to the coastal city of La Spezia. From here you will explore the stunning Cinque Terre before heading north to discover Milan and Lake Como. Your tour then heads to Venice where your incredible tour of Italy comes to an end.  


facilities

We have chosen a blend of 3 and 4-star hotels for your trip around Italy. Each has been selected for its comfort and its proximity to the rail station, so you can simply grab your bags and walk to the rail station to board the train for your next stop. Comfort is key in our choices as after a long day of exploring, you will want to sink into your bed and get a great sleep before doing it all over again.
