Venture through Italy, from the canals of Venice to the cobblestone streets of Rome. On this 10-day trip, you’ll visit historic sites and small villages, indulging in as much food and wine as you can handle. Wander the streets on a cicchetti crawl through canal-laden Venice, hike along the Cinque Terre, filling up your camera roll with incredible scenery, and take a pesto-making class in Cinque Terre. Soak in the coastal colours, then head to Pisa – home to the iconic tilted tower – and explore the rolling hills of picturesque Umbria. Discover Florence’s art, history and culture with plenty of free time to explore at your own pace, and sample local wines, traditional dishes (another gelato anyone?) and as many glasses ofaperol spritz as your heart desires.

A wonderful trip!

It’s a great trip for a whistle stop tour of different European countries. Although we didn’t spend huge amounts of time in each country, there were loads of recommendations to pick and choose from! I would have liked to spend a bit more time in each country but that’s the nature of the trip to only spend a few days in each one. The accommodation was really good, transport links were great and what we got up to was amazing!
