Itinerary
Experience Italy, from first taste to final aria. In Rome, you’ll trace nearly 3,000 years of history through grand piazzas, weathered ruins and treasures tucked inside its churches. Near the Bay of Naples, you sit down to lunch on the slopes of Mount Vesuvius, tasting traditional produce grown in the region’s volcanic soil. Venice begins aboard a private boat drifting by churches and palaces before a gondola carries you along narrow canals. Your Italian adventure ends over dinner as singers perform much-loved operatic songs and arias, leaving the final notes hanging in the air before you say arrivederci.
day 1Begin Your Italian Journey in Rome
You arrive in Rome, where scooter engines hum past ancient columns, the scent of coffee wafts from doorways and Renaissance palaces rise above streets woven with medieval stone and Baroque curves. As you settle in, you might hear church bells ringing between the rooftops and watch evening light soften the city's ochre stone. Later, join your Travel Director and fellow travellers for dinner at a local restaurant, sharing Roman specialities as names become familiar around the table.
