The Grand Highlights
(Florence – Rome – Venice)
Embark on a journey through
Italy’s most captivating cities, where history, art, and romance come alive at
every turn. Begin in Florence, the cradle of the Renaissance, where masterworks
by Michelangelo and Botticelli await inside world-class galleries and rolling
vineyards beckon for afternoons of wine and countryside pleasures. Continue by
sleek train to Rome, a city layered with millennia of grandeur — from the
echoes of gladiators in the Colosseum to the sacred treasures of the Vatican,
balanced by lively piazzas and timeless trattorias. Conclude in Venice, a
dreamlike city of canals and bridges, where palaces rise from the water’s edge
and gondolas glide under stone arches. With private guides, seamless transfers,
and luxurious hotels, this itinerary delivers Italy at its most classic and
unforgettable.
Florence, Renaissance
Treasures: Begin in Tuscany’s Renaissance capital with a private transfer
to your boutique hotel. With your local guide, stroll through the Uffizi and
Accademia to meet Michelangelo’s David and Botticelli’s masterpieces. Walk the
medieval streets and admire the Duomo’s dome. One day, journey into the Chianti
countryside for wine tastings at family estates and a leisurely Tuscan lunch.
Enjoy evenings in Florence’s Piazzas or fine-dining restaurants.
Rome, The Eternal City: A
high-speed train brings you to the Eternal City. Explore ancient Rome with a
private guide: the Colosseum, Roman Forum, and Palatine Hill. Another day,
enter Vatican City for a privileged tour of the Vatican Museums, Sistine
Chapel, and St. Peter’s Basilica. Walk Baroque piazzas, throw a coin in the
Trevi Fountain, and savor Roman specialties in a trattoria. Evenings in a
centrally located hotel let you soak in the vibrant atmosphere.
Venice, City of Canals:
Travel by train or plane to Venice, arriving by private boat at your Grand
Canal hotel. Discover St. Mark’s Square, Doge’s Palace, and the Rialto Bridge
with your guide, then enjoy a private gondola ride through hidden canals. Free
time invites you to wander at leisure, shop for Murano glass, or sip aperitivo
overlooking the lagoon.
