Departure — Night on Board
Depart for Rome, Italy
Your Italian adventure begins at your home airport. Board your overnight flight to Rome Fiumicino (Leonardo da Vinci) International Airport — the gateway to one of the world’s greatest cities and the starting point of your journey through Italy’s four most iconic destinations.
🏛️
Via Emanuele Filiberto, near Colosseum & Termini · Perfect location for sightseeing on foot
La Residenza dei Principi ★★★★
An elegant boutique hotel in the heart of Rome, ideally positioned between the Colosseum, the Borghese Gallery, and Termini Station. La Residenza dei Principi blends classic Roman sophistication with modern comforts — refined rooms, a serene inner courtyard, and a daily breakfast of Italian pastries, cold cuts, and fresh espresso. A refined base from which to explore two thousand years of history on foot.
Arrival in Rome — The Eternal City Awaits
Arrive in Rome — Settle In & Explore
Arrive at Rome Fiumicino and make your way to the hotel. Shake off the journey and step straight into the city — toss a coin in the Trevi Fountain, stroll through Campo de’ Fiori, or find a table at a neighbourhood trattoria and order cacio e pepe with a carafe of house red. Rome begins immediately.
Colosseum, Roman Forum & Palatine Hill
Guided Walking Tour: Colosseum, Roman Forum & Palatine Hill
Stand inside the greatest amphitheatre ever built — the Colosseum, where 50,000 Romans once roared for gladiatorial combat. Walk the ancient stones of the Roman Forum, the political and commercial heart of the Empire, and climb Palatine Hill for sweeping views over the ruins below. A licensed expert guide brings 2,000 years of history to life before your eyes.
Authentic Roman Dining Experience
An evening immersed in Roman culinary culture at a historic neighbourhood restaurant — classic pasta, saltimbocca, supplì, and tiramisu served in a setting unchanged for decades. A leisurely, convivial evening that captures the soul of Rome’s dining tradition.
Free Day in Rome — Vatican, Pantheon & More
Explore Rome at Your Own Pace
Rome rewards those who wander. Visit the Vatican Museums and Sistine Chapel, marvel at Michelangelo’s frescoes, cross the Tiber to Castel Sant’Angelo, or simply lose yourself in the cobblestone alleyways of Trastevere over a long, slow lunch. There is no wrong direction in Rome.

Allegroitalia San Gallo Florence ★★★★
Set in a beautifully restored Renaissance palazzo just steps from Florence Cathedral, the Allegroitalia San Gallo is one of the city’s most charming four-star properties. Original stone arches, terracotta floors, and contemporary Italian design combine to create an atmosphere that is unmistakably Florentine. The rooftop terrace — with views of Brunelleschi’s dome — is simply unforgettable over morning breakfast.
Rome → Florence — Arrive & Explore
Arrive in Florence — First Impressions
Board the Frecciarossa from Roma Termini and arrive in Florence in under 90 minutes. Make your way to the hotel and step out into one of the world’s most beautiful cities. Cross the Ponte Vecchio, browse the leather stalls of the Mercato Centrale, or simply sit in Piazza della Signoria with a Campari Spritz and watch the world go by.
Guided City Tour of Florence — Duomo, Ponte Vecchio & Piazza della Signoria
Guided Walking Tour of Florence
Begin at Piazza della Repubblica, continue through the Loggia del Mercato Nuovo to the iconic Ponte Vecchio — Florence’s most famous bridge lined with goldsmiths since the 14th century. Walk to Piazza della Signoria, the medieval heart of the city, and end at Piazza San Giovanni for the magnificent Florence Cathedral with Brunelleschi’s legendary dome and Giotto’s soaring Bell Tower.
Half-Day Tour to Pisa & the Leaning Tower
An hour from Florence lies one of the world’s most photographed structures. Join a guided tour to the stunning Piazza dei Miracoli — the Field of Miracles — home to the Leaning Tower, the magnificent white marble Cathedral, and the Baptistery. No trip to Tuscany is complete without this iconic side trip.
Free Day in Florence — Uffizi, Accademia & Tuscany
Florence at Your Own Pace
Queue for the Uffizi Gallery to see Botticelli’s The Birth of Venus, or the Accademia to stand before Michelangelo’s David. Explore the Oltrarno neighbourhood’s artisan studios, take a Vespa tour into the Chianti wine country, or spend the afternoon in a leather-working class. Florence rewards every kind of curiosity.

Florence → Venice — Arrive & First Taste of the Canals
Arrive in Venice — A City Unlike Any Other
Step off the train directly onto the edge of the Venetian Lagoon. Make your way to the hotel and absorb one of the most extraordinary arrivals in travel — no roads, no cars, just canals and bridges and the sound of water lapping against ancient stone. Wander the alleys of Dorsoduro or join an optional gondola ride as the city glows at golden hour.
Gondola Ride through Venice's Canals
A 30-minute glide through Venice’s enchanting waterways aboard a traditional hand-crafted gondola, guided by a gondolier in his signature striped shirt. Drift beneath stone bridges, past Renaissance palazzi, and along the legendary Grand Canal — becoming part of a tradition stretching back five centuries.
