Itinerary

Day 1 Welcome to Rome, Italy!

Upon arrival you will be transferred to check into your hotel. The rest of the day is free for you to explore the Eternal City!

Day 2 Rome

Rome is affectionately referred to as the Eternal City. It is steeped in history, has a vibrant atmosphere and is absolutely unique. Embark on a sightseeing tour and get acquainted with the city.

Day 3 Rome - Orvieto - Siena

Journey northwest to the charmingly located city of Orvieto in the Umbria region to visit its black basalt and yellow limestone cathedral, an excellent example of Italian Gothic architecture. By early evening you’ll be in Siena with time to visit this jewel of ...

Day 4 Siena - San Gimignano - Greve - Montecatini

Drive this morning to San Gimignano, one of Tuscany's greatest attractions. Its medieval squares, town walls, streets, alleyways, and 14 towers make it unique. 

Day 5 Montecatini - Excursion to Florence

Embark on a full-day excursion to Florence today, and discover the birthplace of the Renaissance. 

Day 6 Montecatini - Pisa - Venice Area

This morning, drive to Pisa for a mini-train ride to see its Square of Miracles and the amazing Leaning Tower, 180 feet high and no less than 16 feet out of the perpendicular. Later, head across the wooded Apennine Hills into the farmlands of the Po Valley for two overnights in the Venice area.

Day 7 Venice Area

Venice is more like a marvelous film set than a real life city, with its criss-crossing canals, gondolas and water buses, arched bridges, palaces, and little quiet piazzas. 

Day 8 Venice Area - Assisi - Rome

An interesting drive southward, cutting across the Po Delta, then crossing the Apennines. Stop in Assisi, where St. Francis was born in 1182. Visit the world-famous basilica with its beautiful frescoes by Giotto, then head for Rome. 

Day 9 Depart Italy

Your vacation ends this morning. After breakfast you will be transferred to the airport for departure.
