Venice Tours in September 2026

This itinerary allowed us to see all the important sites in each of the cities we visited (e.g. St. Peter's in Rome, the Grand Canal in Venice). Yet, it provided free time for us to explore on our own and find some other gems. too (e.g. the Basilica of Santa Croce in Florence). It was a perfect balance of touring with the group, time on the bus and free time.

This was our second Blue-Roads tour and we can’t recommend them more highly. Our Italian tour leader was exceptional as was the driver. We are currently on our 3rd tour which is proving to be as good as the others. The leaders are professional and caring as well as injecting humour and sensitivity. They are well informed in local features and we are very happy travellers.

There were only 8 people in our tour group. All the guests were pleasant, and we all got along great. Everyone was considerate of the time and our fellow passengers. The group leader Angie and our coach driver Mattheo were both wonderful. We were escorted by our group leader who had all the plans perfectly timed with no stress getting to any place. Our driver Mattheo was always at our location to pick us up on time. The trip was amazing. The scenery along the coast of Italy and Switzerland was breathtaking. The many modes of transportation made it a very interesting and an exciting trip. We never lacked for any beautiful scenery along the way. The hotels were all very nice and the luggage service at each location was great. My only complaint is that the food in Switzerland was very expensive and not the best for the price you had to pay as compared to Italy where the meals were great. We enjoyed our little excursions that were planned for us. One of my favorites was the cooking class and wine tasting in Verona Italy. The chocolate factory in Switzerland was also a favorite. The overall trip was great, and I would highly recommend it.

It was an exhausting, but wonderful trip. We saw so much of Italy in a relatively short period of time. We knew we would probably never have a chance to visit Italy again, so for us this was the perfect trip. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and entertaining.

Sarah Rossi our tour director and Massimillione the driver were excellent and very professional. We enjoyed the variety and experiences on this trip. We saw a lot of Italy and were impressed by the country. Italy has done a great deal of work to improve on the overall experience, since our last visit 32 years ago. Their service stops on the highway and public bathrooms were clean and more pleasant to use. Their showing of their countries treasures were more efficient and more enjoyable to experience. Job well done Italy👍

This trip package is action packed and allows you to experience so much without it being overwhelming! M9st all of the walking is at a leisurely pace too, making it doable for nearly everyone. Definitely plan to do ALL the optional excursions, they are so worth it!
