Day 1

Welcome to Italy

Benvenuti, and welcome to Venice — the Floating City!

Upon arrival at Venice Marco Polo Airport, you’ll clear customs and be met for a private water taxi transfer with your English-speaking captain, whisking you to the city centre in true Venetian style.

Travellers booked in Indulgence style will enjoy VIP arrival assistance, with an English-speaking airport host personally escorting you to meet your water taxi and captain.

Take the rest of the day at leisure — perhaps enjoy a gentle stroll over centuries-old bridges or sip a classic Bellini by the Grand Canal.

3 nights in Venice  – stay in the hotel standard you choose

Day 2

Gondolas and Secret Passages

This morning, experience Venice’s most romantic tradition — a private gondola ride, drifting beneath graceful bridges and alongside palaces with weathered facades.

Comfort travellers enjoy a 30-minute glide through the iconic canals.
Deluxe and Indulgence travellers explore hidden laneways and tucked-away squares with a local guide, hearing the stories of merchants, artists, and lovers who shaped this floating city. Indulgence guests are serenaded by a private singer and accordionist, turning your gondola ride into a moment worthy of a film scene.

Breakfast included.

Day 3

St Mark’s Glory and the Doge’s Palace

Step into Venice’s golden age with your private guide. Wander the Doge’s Palace, once the seat of power for the Venetian Republic, and cross the Bridge of Sighs into the shadowy old prisons. Then, skip the queues to marvel at the mosaics of St Mark’s Basilica — where every glint of gold tells a story. From the terrace, gaze out over the square and the lagoon beyond.

Breakfast included

Day 4

First-Class to Florence

Wave goodbye to Venice from the deck of your private water taxi, then settle into a first-class seat on Italy’s sleek high-speed train.
Comfort and Deluxe travellers take a short local taxi ride to their Florence hotel.
Indulgence travellers are met by a private driver for a door-to-door transfer.
This evening, stroll through Renaissance streets lit by soft golden light, perhaps stopping for a creamy gelato in Piazza della Signoria.

Breakfast included
3 nights in Florence – stay in the hotel standard you choose

Day 5

Florence Masterpieces and Pisa’s Leaning Wonder

Begin the day with your private guide, exploring Florence’s icons: the towering Duomo crowned by Brunelleschi’s Dome, the political heart of Palazzo Vecchio, and the lively Piazza della Repubblica.
In the afternoon, travel with your private driver to Pisa for that quintessential Leaning Tower photograph, framed by the rolling Tuscan countryside.

Breakfast included.

Day 6

Tuscany Your Way

A day to savour Florence at your own pace — linger in world-famous galleries, hunt for leather treasures in artisan workshops, or sip espresso at a café where locals gather.

Indulgence travellers are whisked into the Tuscan hills for a vineyard tour with exclusive wine tastings (11 varieties) and a long, lazy lunch overlooking vine-covered slopes.

Breakfast included.

Day 7

Onward to the Eternal City

This morning, travel first-class from Florence to Rome.
Comfort and Deluxe travellers take a local taxi to their hotel.
Indulgence travellers enjoy a private transfer with an English-speaking driver.

The rest of the day is yours — perhaps take an evening passeggiata to the Trevi Fountain and make a wish under the stars.

Breakfast included
3 nights in Rome – stay in the hotel standard you choose

Day 8

The Colosseum and Ancient Rome

Today, history comes alive. Walk through the grand arches of the Colosseum with your private guide, imagining the roar of crowds and clash of gladiators. Explore the Roman Forum and Palatine Hill, where temples and palaces tell tales of an empire’s rise and fall.

Breakfast included.

Day 9

Rome by Day and by Moonlight

The morning is yours to explore — wander cobblestone lanes, browse markets, or simply sip cappuccinos while watching Roman life unfold.
After sunset, your private driver reveals Rome’s illuminated magic: the Spanish Steps glowing, fountains dancing in the moonlight, and St Peter’s Basilica standing proud against the night sky.
Deluxe and Indulgence travellers round off the journey with a farewell dinner, savouring the city’s finest Roman dishes.

Breakfast included.

 

Day 10

Farewell Italy

Enjoy a final espresso or morning stroll before your private transfer to the airport. As you depart, carry with you the unforgettable memories of Italian Cities Uncovered — the gondolas, the Tuscan sunsets, the ancient stones, and the warm spirit of Italy.
