Classic Italy Highlights (3 Star) - 10 days

Welcome to Italy! Upon arrival at Rome’s airport, meet your private driver for a comfortable transfer to your hotel in the heart of the city.

Overnight in Rome.

Fuel up with breakfast each morning before diving into the rich history and vibrant culture of the Eternal City. Your 48-hour hop-on hop-off bus pass gives you the flexibility to explore iconic landmarks such as the Colosseum, Roman Forum, Trevi Fountain, and Vatican City at your own pace. Listen to the onboard audio commentary for fascinating insights into each site. Spend your evenings at leisure, perhaps sampling Roman cuisine or enjoying a sunset over the Spanish Steps.
