About this tour

What to expect
Each day balances guided monuments with free time to wander. In Rome, you'll explore the Colosseum and Vatican with your guide; in Florence, Renaissance masterpieces and city views; in Venice, the lagoon and piazzas on foot. Trains between cities take 2–4 hours depending on route. Your guide meets you at major sights and walks you through them, then you're loose to eat, shop, or rest. Hotels are mid-range; breakfast is included daily. The pace is steady but not rushed—expect several hours of walking each day, though you can break it up as you like.
