Italy Tours

Rome — the Eternal City — is the heart of any tour of Italy. The Colosseum and Roman Forum are key historical sites of the Roman Empire, Vatican City and the Vatican Museums offer an unmissable guided tour of the Sistine Chapel, and the Trevi Fountain and Pantheon reward every traveler exploring Rome's historic streets. Florence is renowned for the Uffizi Gallery and Michelangelo's David — Renaissance masterpieces and Renaissance art at every turn make Florence one of Italy's greatest cultural journey destinations. Venice is famous for its canals and historic architecture — a gondola ride through Venice's canals past St. Mark's Square is one of Italy's most romantic and iconic experiences. Northern Italy's Italian Riviera features the Cinque Terre's dramatic coastal cliffs, the Leaning Tower of Pisa, and Lake Como's breathtaking mountain scenery and Villa il Leccio, with Lake Maggiore and the Italian Alps completing one of Italy's most extraordinary regional landscapes. Milan's Duomo and cosmopolitan flair, Portofino's elegant Italian Riviera harbour, and La Spezia as gateway to the Cinque Terre complete Northern Italy's highlights.

Southern Italy rewards every traveler with extraordinary ancient history and culinary delights. The Amalfi Coast features cliffside towns and stunning views past Positano, Ravello, and Sorrento — one of Italy's most dramatic UNESCO World Heritage coastlines. Pompeii is a major archaeological site preserved by volcanic ash, and the National Archaeological Museum in Naples houses extraordinary artifacts from Pompeii. Sicily offers rich cultural history and beautiful landscapes — Sicilian olive oils are renowned for their quality worldwide, and truffle hunting in Umbria or Tuscany is one of Italy's most extraordinary authentic experiences. Tuscany is known for its golden rolling hills, vineyards, olive groves, and Tuscan wines — a cooking class in a Tuscan farmhouse and wine tasting at a local estate are wonderful culinary delights. Authentic carbonara is served in Rome with Pecorino Romano cheese, balsamic vinegar from Modena is a global culinary staple, and Italian cuisine includes staples like pizza, pasta, and tiramisu. Matera's ancient cave city and Puglia's olive groves and charming villages complete Southern Italy's extraordinary range of destinations.
