Tour Overview
Eat your fill of pasta and tuck into giant piazzas as you get lost in Venice and find yourself in the Tuscan countryside. This 24-day trip will take you to all the best spots and teach you all the most important parts of Italian culture – like how to make focaccia and orecchiette with a local woman in an Apulian trullo. Visit Mount Etna, as you drive up the northern flank of the volcano and take a walk through the spectacular Valle del Bove. Visit a family-run winery, learn about ancient Pompeii and visit Rome’s famous sites – including early access into the Vatican Museum before the crowds. All of this, plus three amazing Feature Stays and a local leader by your side!
