Rome, Roma, the Eternal City!<\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. \n

    The Roman Forum and Colosseum<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    If you want to get to know Italy, start at the very beginning, with the foundation of the capital, Roma. The ancient Roman Forum was the original religious and legislative centre of Rome with the Colosseum built later to provide entertainment for the masses. A behind the scenes tour of the Colosseum and Forum complex<\/strong> takes in over 3000 years of history in just 3 hours and is an essential part of any trip to the Eternal City.<\/p>\n

      Vatican City \u2013 home to the Vatican Museum, Sistine Chapel & St Peter\u2019s Basilica<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Millions of visitors flock to the Vatican City each year. Most make a beeline for the tiny city-state\u2019s 3 key points of interest; the Vatican Museum, Sistine Chapel and St Peter\u2019s Basilica, home to much of the world\u2019s greatest classical artworks.<\/p>\n

      In fact with 54 galleries, the Vatican museum is one of the largest in the world housing ancient Greek sculptures alongside the most illustrious painters of the Italian Renaissance. And don\u2019t forget the jewel in the crown; Michelangelo\u2019s Sistine Chapel, enhanced by Botticelli and Ghirlandaio\u2019s side panels. But if you don\u2019t want to waste valuable vacation time standing line, book your trip with us and you will skip the line and learn all about the Vatican\u2019s treasures with one of our guided tours.<\/p>\n

      Tuscany, home to the Renaissance<\/h2>\n
        \n
      1. \n

        The Uffizi Museum, Florence<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        The Uffizi started out life as 16th<\/sup> century offices for the ruling Medici family \u2013 hence the name, meaning offices in Italian. Cosimo I de Medici<\/em>, Grand Duke of Tuscany, also planned to use the space to display his extensive art collection creating the first public art museum in the world. And it quickly became a key destination for aristocrats on their Grand Tours thanks to the Medicis\u2019 rich collection of Western and Renaissance art.<\/p>\n

        Today the Uffizi is still one of the most popular attractions in the city. If art is your passion, you\u2019ll love a guided tour of the gallery<\/strong> exploring the hidden messages in masterpieces by art giants including Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, Titian, Caravaggio and many, many others. It\u2019s one of the top Italy points of interest<\/strong> and a fascinating peek into the classical art world.<\/p>\n

        1. \n

          The Accademia Gallery & Michelangelo\u2019s David in Florence<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          If you prefer sculpture to canvas, the Accademia and its famous resident David is the one for you. Tourists have been flocking to Florence to admire David\u2019s taught muscles for centuries and although there is a copy in the central Piazza della Signoria, the original, in all its wonderful marble glory, is tucked up safely in the Accademia gallery.<\/p>\n

          But there\u2019s more to Michelangelo than just one sculpture. So to get a better understanding of his genius, why not take our Michelangelo-themed walking tour<\/strong> through the city. Your guide will trace his work from the Medici Chapel to the Medici Palace finishing up at the Accademia where you will explore the symbolism and carving technique of Michelangelo\u2019s superlative masterpiece close-up. Bellissimo!<\/em><\/p>\n

            \n
          1. \n

            Brunelleschi\u2019s Duomo, campanile & baptistery<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

            The pink and green marble Duomo dominates the Piazza del Duomo alongside Giotto\u2019s campanile bell tower and baptistery. But it\u2019s arguably the soaring\u00a0brick dome for which the Duomo is famous. It would have towered over the 16th<\/sup> century city when architect Filippo Brunelleschi started work and remains not only Florence\u2019s tallest building but also the largest brick dome ever constructed.<\/p>\n

            So if you\u2019d like to learn how he did it without modern tools, computers or hydraulic cranes, why not include our small group tour<\/strong> in your itinerary for an exceptional trip back in time and an unforgettable bird\u2019s eye view over the city from the top!<\/p>\n

            Venice, La Serenissima <\/em>and the land of Prosecco<\/h2>\n
              \n
            1. \n

              Venice gondola ride<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

              Venice is picture-postcard perfect in all her aged\u00a0glory and has hundreds of palaces, galleries and museums to explore. But if you want the ultimate Venetian experience, to see the real Venice<\/strong> just as Casanova and Vivaldi once did, then hop on a gondola and let the gondolier gently glide you through the canals of this magical city and take in over 1000 years of history. Unforgettable!<\/p>\n

                \n
              1. \n

                Veneto, the land of Prosecco <\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                For many it\u2019s the delicious Italian wine and cuisine that make their trip so special. So whether you\u2019re a wine enthusiast or just like an occasional tipple, a trip to a vineyard is a great addition to your Italian vacation. You\u2019ll follow the grapes from vine to bottle, learning all about the wine-making process and tasting a few vintages along the way. And there are plenty of wines to choose from, but if you\u2019re in Venice there is just one name that springs to mind; Prosecco, the Veneto\u2019s crisp, bubbly sparkling white wine. So why not take the \u201cStrada del Prosecco\u201d<\/em><\/strong> to explore the beautiful Veneto scenery and taste-test some of the best Prosecco on the market. Cin cin!<\/em><\/p>\n

                Milan, designer fashion and the Italian Lake District<\/h2>\n
                  \n
                1. \n

                  Milan for all the senses<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                  Milan, in northern Italy, has a tendency to divide opinion, especially on the soccer pitch. But if you appreciate gothic architecture, coffee culture, fashion or football, this is the city for you. Its spiky gothic Duomo is absolutely breathtaking\u00a0and always cited in lists of\u00a0the must-see Italy points of interest. And if you can face the knee-trembling climb to the roof (or prefer\u00a0to take the lift!) you\u2019ll be rewarded with a wonderful view out over the city to the snow-capped Alps. A typical espresso will then rejuvenate you before you hit the shops for the best fashion design Italy can provide. It\u2019s truly a city for all the senses.<\/p>\n

                    \n
                  1. \n

                    Italian Lake District<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                    Just an hour outside Milan is the start of the wonderfully scenic Italian lake district. Lakes Maggiore, Como and Iseo encircle the northern flank of the city, with glorious views reaching out across the water, even as far as Switzerland on a good day. A guided tour of Bergamo, the sparkling vineyards of Franciacorta and a <\/strong>panoramic boat ride across Lake Iseo<\/strong> is a great antidote to the commotion of the city for anyone who enjoys the pleasures of the outdoor\u00a0life!<\/p>\n

                    Campania – Pompeii, the precipitous Amalfi Coast and Naples<\/h2>\n
                      \n

                      Pompeii <\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                      Ancient archaeological ruins are scattered across\u00a0Italy. Some, like Rome\u2019s Colosseum or Sicily\u2019s valley of Temples are larger than others, but none is more spectacular than the city of Pompeii on the Gulf of Naples. Pompeii started life as a prosperous Roman fishing and trading port but on August 23rd<\/sup> 79 AD life abruptly ground to a halt as the city was buried under the fiery lava, pumice and lava of nearby Mount Vesuvius as it erupted.<\/p>\n

                      The city and thousands of its people simply disappeared until it was rediscovered over 1600 years later providing a tantalizing time capsule of ancient Roman life. Today we still have much to learn about how people lived but you can follow in the footsteps of Pompeii\u2019s people<\/strong> with a guided tour to explore the old streets, brothels, markets and villas\u00a0of this ill-fated but fascinating city.<\/p>\n

                        \n

                        La Costiera Amalfitana<\/em><\/strong> or Amalfi Coast<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                        The Amalfi Coast has been wowing visitors for centuries. Charming pastel painted fishing villages cling to the rocky cliffs and gulleys. And an electrifying 50 km long coast road twists and turns round hairpins revealing stunning views out over the isle of Capri and Mediterranean to one side or lemon groves and tiny inland villages to the other. Its simply beautiful, but not necessarily for the fainthearted as the road climbs the vertiginous craggy outcrops, with literally breath-taking sheer drops away to the sea! So if you want to enjoy the charm of this eternally romantic coastline<\/strong> without the stress of taking to the wheel let our private chauffeur do the white-knuckle work whilst you soak up the seaside, stopping anywhere that takes your fancy on this VIP experience! Andiamo! <\/em>Let\u2019s go!<\/p>\n

From freshly oven-baked margherita pizza, famously created here, to the hustle of its narrow lanes criss-crossing the city, to the brooding canvases of painter Carravaggio, the historic centre of Naples has plenty to offer. So if you\u2019d like to discover Naples\u2019 Neopolitan charms, why not treat yourselves to our walking tour through the city<\/strong>. It\u2019s an unforgettable feast for the eyes, ears and soul!<\/p>\n
