Accommodations were always very nice and the itinerary was amazing. Our Explore Leader, Manny, was the Best! She was so informative, set up special group meals where we could attend if we wanted to. She had amazing knowledge of everywhere we went and had such a great sense of humor. Our group was small and we all got along so well and much of this is attributed to Manny. Thank You! I look forward to traveling with your company again.

Like a creamy gelato or hot espresso, one taste of Italy can linger for a lifetime. Travelling from the Eternal City of Rome and up through the hazy hills of Tuscany, you’ll spend eight days sampling the best of Assisi, Siena, Florence, Bologna, Venice, and Montepulciano. Catch the spirit of La Vita Bella as you explore elegant Florentine piazzas, rummage through handcrafted artisanal treasures, sip world-class wines, and float down intimate Venetian canals
Loved the whole experience- visited all the best countries in Europe, tasted wines, spirits and other European alcohol In cheapest prices. It’s not suitable for asians with dark skin and if you’re over 34 yrs old unless you have a thick skin to not give any reaction to the comments some people make as a joke- only because they are white and still young. Not sure what they are so proud about in those moments. Other than that I enjoyed my time with rest of them. The price was on discount- I had to add on some extra adventures which worth it. Honestly 24 days is finished so quickly. Recommend to all the people who like explore Europe more in less time in cheaper price. Great work contiki, I am on my second one now- in Thailand, this group of approx 30 people is much better than European escapades (just my personal experience).
This tour will take you on a memorable train ride across the major touristic cities of Italy. You’ll begin by exploring Rome, with stunning feats of civilization, modern and age-old alike. Colosseum, Navona Square, Pantheon, Spain Square, and Trevi Fountain are a few places that you can visit. The next place where you’ll take a train would be Florence. History, art, countryside, and delicious food are the gist of what this capital city of Tuscany has in store for you. Accademia and Uffizi Galleries are a must-visit. After Florence, The City of Water, Venice, awaits your arrival. Though the journey to Venice via rail is gorgeous, the city itself has its charm. Riding into a gondola through the Grand Canal and being mesmerized by the city’s beauty should be on your list. In addition, take a walking tour covering St Mark’s Square, Doge's Palace, Bell Tower, etc. Finally, we are at the last city of this train tour—Milan. An epitome of great fashion and design, Milan is a heart stealer. Apart from the latest cultural trends, you can even get a slice of history by visiting the Milan Cathedral. Also, ensure not to miss Leonardo Da Vinci’s stupefying Cenacolo, the Last Supper, which is one of the most famous artworks in the world. This train journey is one of the most popular Italy travel packages, offering a comprehensive tour of Italy's iconic cities.
