Italy Grand Tour
Get to know Italy’s most wonderful destinations, from Venice, Florence and Tuscany, to Rome, Pompeii and Sicily, on this 15-day guided tour of Italy, which includes 4-star hotel accommodation. Start this incredible journey with a tour of the extraordinary floating city of Venice. Discover highlights including St Mark’s Square and the Rialto Bridge before heading to Bologna. Travel through Tuscany’s beautiful countryside to the spa town of Montecatini Terme, and from here discover the Leaning Tower of Pisa. Head to the Lazio region, and the ancient city of Rome to discover iconic landmarks such as Trevi Fountain, the Colosseum, and the Spanish steps, with optional trips to the Vatican and the Sistine Chapel highly recommended. Your next destination is the scenic Sorrento Peninsula, where a guided tour of Pompeii, buried beneath hot ash when Mount Vesuvius erupted, brings this well-preserved ruined city to life.
