An amazing trip, seeing so many different sides of Italy, the main tourist centres, but the rural villages. Fantastically organised and supported when things went wrong (personal injury). Highly recommend this trip for adventurers.
Experience Italy like never before with a stay at the historic Villa Casagrande, where rolling vineyards, timeless villages, and authentic Italian living await. This immersive journey blends comfort and culture—enjoy guided tours of Florence and San Gimignano, hands-on cooking classes, wine tastings, and free time to unwind in the villa’s gardens or by the pool. More than a tour, it’s your chance to live like a local in the heart of Tuscany from Rome
Make tracks to embark on a 23-day adventure encompassing France, Switzerland and Italy. Using trains as your primary means of moving about, you’ll get started in the City of Lights before moving into Lausanne and Lucerne, with their UNESCO World Heritage-listed vineyard terraces and views of the Alps. Then it’s into Italy, where you’ll have plenty of free time to explore Rome before heading north to the Tuscan countryside, Cinque Terre, the Portofino Peninsula and more. Best of all, you’ll do with the comforts of rail transport and an expert local leader showing you the way.
