Rome to Venice: Umbria, Tuscany & Bologna

Italy7 nights · 8 days4★ HotelIdeal for couples, families, friends

Overview

Rome comes first, with guided visits of the Colosseum and Roman Forum and of the Vatican Museums and St Peter's. A private driver then takes you into green Umbria: lunch in hilltop Todi and a guided walk in Assisi with the Basilica of San Francesco. Crossing into Tuscany you walk Siena with a guide, lunch at a winery overlooking San Gimignano and settle in Florence for two nights, with the Uffizi, the Accademia and a pasta and tiramisu class. The last stretch is a guided food walk in Bologna, a fast train to Venice and a water taxi to your hotel, with a guided visit of St Mark's Basilica and the Doge's Palace before you fly home.
