Begin your Italian adventure with a Guided Tour of Bologna, exploring its rich history and culture. Discover the fascinating Museo della Storia di Bologna, an interactive museum that brings 2,500 years of history to life, before visiting the impressive Basilica San Petronio, one of the world’s largest churches. After an evening meal in a local restaurant, check in to your hotel and relax. The next day, travel to the stunning City of Bridges, Venice, where a Guided Tour will showcase its unique charm. Step inside the grand Doge’s Palace, once home to the rulers of the Venetian Republic, then enjoy some free time to explore the city’s winding canals and squares before returning to Bologna for dinner.

Your journey continues with a visit to Florence, known as the City of Lilies and the birthplace of the Renaissance. A Guided Tour of Florence introduces you to its historic treasures, including the Galleria dell’Accademia, home to masterpieces by Botticelli, Lippi and Michelangelo’s famous David. After some free time to soak up the city’s atmosphere, return to Bologna for dinner and your final overnight stay. On your last day, enjoy some free time in Bologna before transferring to the airport for your flight home.

Very easy and efficient to use. Staff were excellent, accommodating attentive to the needs of our group tour. Aideen helped us with our tour to Italy and she made the experience easy for me as a group tour leader. She also checked up on me and the group multiple times. Would definitely use again.
