Venice Sightseeing – Icons, History & Panoramic Wow

Rise and shine for a private walking tour that unlocks Venice’s soul! Meet your guide in the lobby and wander to St. Mark’s Basilica, where the glittering Pala d’Oro and the historic Treasury reveal Venice’s powerful past, including relics from the 1204 raid on Constantinople.

Climb up to the Loggia dei Cavalli for jaw-dropping views over St. Mark’s Square — the kind of panorama that demands a photo! Then step inside the grand Doge’s Palace, crossing the dramatic Bridge of Sighs and exploring old prisons and lavish chambers dripping with history.

The tour wraps up in the lively city center. Follow your curiosity, or ask your guide for help finding your way back.

Venice Your Way – Art, Islands & a Stylish Departure

Start your day with breakfast and a leisurely morning in Venice. This is your time — wander through quiet alleys, visit the Peggy Guggenheim Collection for a dose of modern art, or join an optional adventure to Murano and Burano, where glassblowers and rainbow-coloured houses steal the show.

In the afternoon, meet your assistant at the hotel and board a private water taxi for a smooth and scenic farewell. Venice waves you off in style.

Arrival in Florence – A Warm Tuscan Welcome

Benvenuti in Florence! Your private driver meets you on arrival and brings you to your hotel for check-in. The rest of the day is yours to slow down, settle in, and savour the effortless charm of the Renaissance city.

Florence Sightseeing – Art, Elegance & Renaissance Icons

Meet your private guide and dive into Florence’s greatest hits. Begin in Piazza del Duomo and step inside the Baptistery of St. John, a jewel of medieval artistry. Continue toward Piazza della Repubblica, strolling past the elegant Strozzi Palace and the stylish boutiques of via Tornabuoni.

Next up — the legendary Galleria dell’Accademia. Nothing prepares you for the moment you stand before Michelangelo’s David. A masterpiece in every sense. The tour ends at the iconic Ponte Vecchio, where riverside views and charming shops set the mood for the perfect Florentine afternoon.

Evening? Yours to enjoy — maybe a glass of Chianti or some handmade gelato.

Departure to Tuscany – Rolling Hills, Here You Come!

After breakfast, check out and meet your driver to begin your journey into the heart of Tuscany. Sit back and enjoy the scenery — golden hills, cypress-lined roads, and postcard landscapes unfolding outside your window.

Arrival in Tuscany

Upon arrival, check in to your charming countryside hotel. Take a moment to breathe in the views, settle in, and relax — tomorrow is all about flavours, farms and Tuscan magic.

Cheese Farm & Montepulciano Winery – Tuscany’s Tastiest Day

Meet your driver this morning and set off toward Pienza, a jewel of Renaissance urban planning and the proud home of Pecorino di Pienza cheese. Before tasting anything, enjoy some free time to wander the UNESCO-listed historic centre. Admire Palazzo Piccolomini, the elegant cathedral, and the peaceful Palazzo Comunale — all framed by sweeping valley views.

Next, head to a rustic organic cheese farm perched atop a hill overlooking the entire Val d’Orcia, with even Pienza visible in the distance. Here, the local producer walks you through the craft of making pecorino — from soft and creamy to firm and aged — revealing how this beloved cheese gets its unmistakable character.

Then it’s on to Montepulciano, where you visit a traditional winery on a small family farm. Taste the renowned Vino Nobile di Montepulciano, one of Italy’s most celebrated DOCG wines, and soak in the authentic Tuscan atmosphere.

After your tasting, enjoy some free time in the historic centre of Montepulciano before returning to your hotel for a relaxing evening.

Departure to Rome – From Tuscan Serenity to Eternal Majesty

Enjoy breakfast, check out of your hotel, and set off toward the capital of Italy — Rome! Your scenic journey leads you from peaceful countryside landscapes straight into the bustling beauty of the Eternal City.

Arrival in Rome – Grand Piazzas & First Impressions

After lunch, meet your guide in the hotel lobby and set off on a panoramic walking tour through Rome’s timeless highlights. See the Spanish Steps, make a wish at the Trevi Fountain, admire the Pantheon, and glide into beautiful Piazza Navona, home to Bernini’s masterpiece — the Fountain of the Four Rivers.

Your guide walks you back to the hotel afterward. The evening is free, perfect for a twilight stroll or a cosy Roman dinner.

Ancient Rome – Gladiators, Emperors & Living History

Step back thousands of years on today’s private walking tour. Begin at the Roman Forum, once the bustling political and spiritual heart of the ancient world. Wander among temples, arches, and the remains of civic buildings, including the Temple of Caesar and the Arch of Septimius Severus. Look up toward the Palatine Hill, where Rome itself was born.

Then it’s time for the star of the show — the Colosseum. Known in ancient times as the Flavian Amphitheatre, this colossal arena once held up to 70,000 roaring spectators. Standing inside its mighty walls is a moment you won’t forget.

After the tour, return to your hotel and enjoy a relaxed Roman evening.

Vatican Sightseeing – Masterpieces, Michelangelo & Sacred Splendour

Meet your guide and transfer to the Vatican, the world’s smallest independent state and home to jaw-dropping artistic treasures. Explore the private apartments of Julius II, wander through the Pinecone Courtyard, and admire the Gallery of Maps, Tapestries and Candelabra — each hall more impressive than the last.

Then step into the Sistine Chapel for a slow, awe-filled look at Michelangelo’s legendary frescoes and the remarkable story behind their creation.

Continue into St. Peter’s Basilica, where Renaissance architecture reaches its grandest expression. Marvel at the immense interior before stepping outside into St. Peter’s Square, framed by Bernini’s sweeping colonnades and crowned by Michelangelo’s dome.

Return to your hotel afterward and enjoy the rest of the day at leisure — Rome is yours tonight.

Please note: the Vatican is a sacred religious site, thus the dress code for visiting it is applied just as when you visit any church in Italy: no shorts, no uncovered knees and shoulders, no backpacks. Due to religious services, St. Peter's Basilica may be spontaneously closed; thus, entrance to St. Peter's Basilica may not be guaranteed.

Departure – Arrivederci, Italia!

Your Italian adventure comes to an end today. After breakfast, meet your private driver for a smooth transfer to the airport. Safe travels — and we can’t wait to help you plan your next getaway!
