DAY 1: ROME

Welcome to Roma! After you touch down at the airport, make your own way to your hotel. Check in and enjoy your first day in Italy. Overnight.

DAY 2: ROME

At 7:45am, depart from the hotel after breakfast to explore this famous city, taking in the sights of its artistic beauties such as St. Peter’s Basilica, the Pantheon (except on Monday), Trevi Fountain, and Piazza Navona. Explore the rest of the city at your own leisure until you decide that you can’t do any more walking. Return to the hotel for some well-deserved rest. Overnight.

DAY 03: ROME

Breakfast at the hotel. Spend a leisurely morning eating breakfast at your hotel and then exploring Rome all day. Make your way back to your hotel for one last overnight in Italy’s capital city. Overnight.

DAY 04: ROME - FLORENCE

Breakfast at the hotel. A deluxe motor coach will depart for Florence at 6:45am, once you’ve had breakfast in your hotel. Upon arrival, take in the sights around the city with a visit to the Duomo, the Baptistery with the bronze doors by Ghiberti, Giotto’s Bell Tower, the Academy of Fine Arts with Michelangelo’s original “David,” and Piazza della Signoria. Stop for lunch at a local restaurant and then spend the afternoon exploring the “cradle of the Renaissance” on your own. Make your way to your hotel for an overnight stay. Overnight stay.

DAY 05: FLORENCE

Breakfast at the hotel. Venture out into Florence on your own after breakfast at your hotel, buying jewellery on the Ponte Vecchio, wandering through the Boboli Gardens, and strolling along the Arno River. If you’d rather take a day trip to nearby Pisa or San Gimignano, you may book a separate excursion. Return to your Florence hotel for your last overnight in Italy. Overnight stay.

DAY 06: FLORENCE - VENICE

You will have all morning to eat breakfast at your hotel and grab some last-minute souvenirs in Florence. At the designated hour, head over to the Florence train station for a ride on the rails to Venice. Once there, make your own way to your Venetian hotel for an overnight stay. (Please note, the transfer out of Florence and into Venice will be done on your own.) Overnight stay.

DAY 07: VENICE

After breakfast at your hotel, meet for a 9:00am walking tour starting at Piazza San Marco (go to the tourism office near the Correr Museum). With the group, you will surely revel at the enormity of the plaza and the cathedral, before going next door to Doge’s Palace (exterior only), a symbol of the glory and authority of Venice as it once housed the residence of the Dukes, the seat of government, and the Court of Justice. Nearby, you will see the legendary Bridge of Sighs. Spend the afternoon roaming along Venice’s canals at your leisure and then return to the hotel for some much-needed relaxation.  Overnight stay.

DAY 08: VENICE

Enjoy one last breakfast before your tour comes to an end.
