This trip, while short, provides an in-depth discovery of much of central Italy: Rome and the Colosseum, Florence and the David, Pizza, Verona, and Venice featuring a glass blowing demonstration and optional tour to Burano for a truly unique dinner.
The tour also provides an opportunity for time on your own to explore on one’s own pace or visit sites of personal interest.
In my case, I could visit Peggy Guggenheim’s museum ( with instructions on how best to get there by our guide) in Venice and have dinner in Rome at a restaurant recommend by an Italian friend.
It was great for our first European trip. We weren’t impressed with the Ibis hotel chain that we stayed in as some had very small rooms to open our luggage in.
It was great traveling with other women. I felt some days were too busy, especially the miles we went one day for 45 minutes at a spare. Really enjoyed the meals.
