What's this trip about?

    This vacation has been carefully crafted for a great independent travel experience. This isn’t a bus, group, or tour guide vacation but one where you can set your own pace of discovery every day. However, you’re not alone – if you need any help during your trip, we’ re just a phone call or an email away. Imagine yourself in Italy! Spend your first five nights based in breathtaking Umbria, Italy's undiscovered countryside. You'll stay in a picturesque village, where you'll be within a short drive to Florence, Assisi, Perugia, and more! During your stay in Umbria you'll be treated to an authentic and delicious wine tasting. The next leg of your adventure brings you to the vibrant capital city of Rome, where you can explore ancient ruins, experience some of the world's most iconic works of art, and sample the local cuisine to your heart's content. There you'll enjoy access to a 48-hour hop-on/hop-off bus pass, making it simple to see the sights in a limited time-frame.
