Heart of Italy

Welcome to Venice, one of Italy’s most enchanting cities! Upon arrival, step into your private water taxi and glide through the canals to your hotel for check-in. The rest of the day is yours to relax and soak in the unique atmosphere of this magical city.

In the evening, meet your local guide for an introductory Bacari tour, where you’ll dive into the heart of Venetian culture. Bacari are traditional bars where locals enjoy a glass of wine paired with "cicchetti"—tasty bites of Venetian delicacies like polenta with salt cod, marinated anchovies, fried fish, grilled cuttlefish, and sardines in saor.

During this delightful evening, visit three charming bars in the Rialto area and enjoy the chance to chat with your guide about the exciting adventures ahead. It’s a perfect way to kick off your journey through Venice!

Note: If your arrival is late, the Bacari tour will be rescheduled for the following day.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Meet your local guide and embark on a journey through the world-renowned Uffizi Gallery, home to one of the greatest collections of art in the world.

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

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.

Today, dive into the heart of Cucina Romana, where you’ll learn the secrets behind some of Rome’s legendary pasta dishes. In this hands-on cooking class, discover the art of making fresh pasta and the perfect sauces that accompany it.

The class culminates in a delicious pasta lunch, where you’ll enjoy the very dishes you’ve prepared — a true taste of Rome’s culinary tradition.

After lunch, meet your guide and embark on a fascinating walking tour to explore the ancient treasures of the Eternal City. Start with the iconic Roman Forum, located between the Palatine and Capitoline hills. Dating back to the 3rd century A.D., it was the center of politics and rituals in ancient Rome. Wander through the ruins, where you’ll see columns, ancient temples, arches, and famous landmarks like the Temple of Caesar and the Arch of Septimius Severus, and take in the views from Palatine Hill, the site of the city’s earliest settlements.

Next, head to the monumental Colosseum, originally known as the Flavius Amphitheater, the largest and most imposing structure of its kind in the Roman world. This arena, capable of holding 70,000 spectators, was designed for gladiatorial battles and stands as one of the most iconic symbols of ancient Rome.

After a day of culinary and historical exploration, return to your hotel, where the evening is yours to unwind and enjoy Rome at your own pace.
