Italy's Best

What's this trip about?

This is an escorted tour. It’s perfect if you prefer not to do your own driving and want to see as many sights as you can during your vacation.  GOOD NEWS - The local tour operator will no longer require a COVID-19 vaccination for travelers as of March 1, 2023.  For travelers departing before March 1, the tour operator requires that travelers aged 12 and older provide proof of full COVID-19 vaccination in the form of written documentation (paper or electronic copy), in English, for all vacations. Proof of vaccination must be completed at least 14 days prior to the tour start date. *Exceptions apply to children who do not qualify for vaccination. Take in magnificent architecture, feast your eyes on spectacular landscapes, indulge in sumptuous cuisine, travel back in time as you explore ancient ruins, and discover brilliant art. It's safe to say that the culture-packed country of Italy is a world of its own.  This once-in-a-lifetime 13-night escorted vacation allows you to visit all of Italy's highlights the easy way. With a knowledgeable guide by your side, you won't need to worry about transportation, directions, or language barrier. Just sit back, relax, and enjoy the views! Your tour begins in the Eternal City of Rome, where you'll enjoy sightseeing through St. Peter's Square, the Colosseum, and other iconic landmarks. Get ready for color and charm as you head to Cinque Terre and Genoa! Next, journey to Tuscany, where you'll find terraced vineyards, olive groves, and rural villages. Immerse yourself in Renaissance art in Florence and visit St. Francis' Basilica in Assisi, a medieval town in the Umbrian hills. More pristine scenery awaits at Lake Maggiore, located on the edge of the Swiss Alps. From there, you'll take an excursion to Lugano, a lakeside town in Switzerland! Witness breathtaking views of the crystal-clear blue sea near the caves of Capri and relax in the charming town of Sorrento. Feel history come alive in Pompeii, then take a boat ride through Venice!
