Itinerary

Welcome to Rome. This evening, meet your fellow travelers over a welcome dinner. (D) Stay: Hotel Massimo D'Azeglio (2 Nights)

This morning, a locally guided tour of the Vatican Museums takes you inside the world's smallest independent country. Highlights include the Gallery of Maps, and a visit to the Sistine Chapel. The chapel's famous ceiling frescoes took Michelangelo four years to complete. During an in-depth visit to St. Peter's Basilica, admire the Renaissance and Baroque architecture of Michelangelo's dome and Bernini's bronze baldachin over the papal altar. Enjoy the afternoon at leisure. Perhaps Rome's classical heritage, with an optional tour to the Colosseum and Roman Forum, will be on your personal sightseeing list. (B)

This morning you continue to Florence – the “Cradle of the Renaissance.” Upon arrival, discover the Academy Gallery to see Michelangelo's magnificent sculpture of David. The remainder of the day is yours to explore Florence's cultural riches independently. (B) Stay: Starhotels Michelangelo (2 Nights)

This morning, meet a local expert for a walking tour of this city that is a work of art all its own. Your guide will highlight the Piazza del Duomo, the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore and the Baptistry. You also visit the Piazza della Signoria with its impressive Palazzo Vecchio. (B)

Today, travel the beautiful Emilia Romagna region to Bologna, Italy's foodie capital. Join a local expert on a leisurely paced walking tour highlighting the culinary side of this historic city. Discover Bologna's culture, architecture and history as you enjoy tastings of cheese, cured meats, bread, chocolate, gelato and so much more. Later, continue to Venice, often called La Serenissima (the most serene) of cities. The remainder of the day is yours to independently explore the hidden spots of this charming city; perhaps you will take an optional gondola ride. The locals say the best way to get to know Venice is to "get lost" here. (B/L) Stay: Hotel Santa Marina (2 Nights)

Explore enchanting Venice with its 117 tiny islands surrounded by a latticework of 150 canals and 400 bridges. Your Venetian journey opens on Murano Island for a glass-blowing demonstration. Then we make our way to St. Mark's Square, the city's lively hub. A local expert will guide you on a walking tour through the area highlighting St. Mark's Basilica and the Clock Tower with its famous Moors. Gather tonight to toast the end of your Italian adventure at your farewell dinner. (B/D)

Your tour comes to a close today, leaving you with many fond memories of incredible Italy. (B)
