Our top 5 things to do in Italy

It's the moments of quiet stillness that take your breath away on a Trafalgar tour through Italy. Sitting in the calm halls of the Vatican. Floating on the canals of Venice. Standing beside the ruins of Pompeii.

Uffizi Gallery

The Tuscan capital is home to Uffizi Gallery, where the brushworks of art’s true masters are found. Names like Raffaello, Leonardo, and Michelangelo dress Uffizi’s grand pink walls, whilst internal courtyards leading to the Arno River will show you the building’s architectural brilliance.

Vatican Museums

A collection of Christian artwork that spans centuries and stirs the soul is found in Rome’s Vatican Museums. From the intricate ceiling by Michelangelo in the Sistine Chapel to the detailed Pope portraits from the 16th century to today, you will be lost for words once inside this blessed museum complex.

Doge's Palace

Home to the leader of Venice from its opening in 1340, Doge’s Palace summarizes the sparkle of this city. An opulent example of Venetian Gothic architecture and home to numerous historical works, this museum is a must when you visit Venice.

Best museums in Italy

The epicenter of the Catholic faith and the birthplace of art’s most renowned masters. Our guided tours of Italy will take you to the many museums found here, whether in the Sistine Chapel, by the canals of Venice or in the grand galleries of Tuscany.

The authentic carbonara experience will take place in Rome, covered in salty Pecorino Romano cheese. A simple dish inspiring heart-warming meal times, this pasta will connect you with Italy’s rich culinary customs - an impressive evolution from its supposed heritage as a coal-miner’s meal.

Pollo alla Cacciatora

Literally translating to ‘hunter’ in Italian, cacciatore offers an appreciation for Italy’s meals of days gone by. Typically a preparation of rabbit or chicken, it’s the simmering tomato stew that makes this dish so mouthwatering. Satisfy a genuine hunger and consume with hand-ripped bread.

Italy tours are best served with an oversized slice of tiramisu. Cementing this country's obsession with espresso, this cake of layered biscuits soaked in coffee is the perfect after hours pick-me-up before an evening stroll through the charming streets.

Best food in Italy

A date with Italian food will likely start and end with a slice of pizza. But it’s the menu items that we share with you in between that will take your appreciation to new heights; think cacciatore and Carbonara with a slice of tiramisu in between.

What to pack for Italy

A classic linen outfit

The Italians are famous for their equal parts glamorous and effortless dress sense. Look the part with a few ensembles featuring classic linens in navy and white.

A blank journal

With the wealth of inspiration tucked into every corner of Italy, you might find yourself compelled to write down notes or memories. At the very least to remember the traditional Italian recipes you learn.

With such a large expanse of space to explore, on some days, long journeys are unavoidable. The scenery will provide plenty of visual entertainment, while headphones can be used to listen to some local music or enjoy podcasts about Italian history, culture and politics when you're not enjoying the storytelling from your Travel Director.

A small blanket

When exploring the soul-stirring setting of Tuscany, a picnic may call. Come prepared with a small blanket to cover in wine and cheese.

Under the Tuscan Sun by Frances Mayes

A classic memoir that brought the romance of Tuscany to the world, there’s no better time to read this book than when venturing through the country yourself.

Pack for sustainable travel

Consider your environmental impact when you next take a trip and go single-use-plastic-free by packing a reusable water bottle, a steel straw, your own shopping bags and reusable toiletry bottles.

Suggested Sightseeing

When you travel to Rome, you’ll understand why the entire historic city center, within the ancient city walls as well as the Basilica of St. Paul’s, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The city is a complex, yet almost seamless, pattern of archaeological sites mixed with urban hot spots. Founded on the banks of the Tiber River in 753 BC, it was the center of the Roman Republic. That was followed by becoming the heart of the Roman Empire and then the Christian world.

With each period of growth, new buildings were built on top of old, often repurposing materials and space. Beginning in the 15th century, the story of Rome was reflected in the Renaissance and then during the Baroque period. In many ways, Rome is indelibly linked with the story of Western civilization as the people’s beliefs and values changed over thousands of years.

The Pantheon is a former Roman temple, now a church dedicated to St. Mary of the Martyrs, in Rome. The stunning building is circular with a portico of large granite Corinthian columns, each weighing 60 tons, under a pediment. A rectangular vestibule links the portico to the rotunda, which is under a concrete dome with a central opening to the sky. Almost two thousand years after it was built, the Pantheon’s dome is still the world’s largest unreinforced concrete dome, standing at 142 feet. Although it is a mystery how it managed to survive years of barbarian raids while the rest of Rome’s monuments crumbled, the Pantheon remains the best preserved Ancient Roman monument. The building is a remarkable sight to behold, and even Michelangelo commented that it looked more like a work of angels, not humans, when he first saw it. 

Standing 86 feet high and 161 feet wide, the Trevi Fountain is the largest Baroque fountain in Rome and one of the most famous fountains in the world. Designed by Italian architect Nicola Salvi and completed by Pietro Bracci in 1762, the fountain is a stunning monument in the center of the city. Legend has it that those who toss coins into its waters will return to Rome, making it a tradition for its visitors. The coins are collected every night and given to the Italian charity called Caritas, so it is illegal to fish them out from the famous fountain. 

Made up of 135 steps, the Spanish Steps climb the steep slope between the Piazza di Spagna at the base and Piazza Trinità dei Monti, dominated by the Trinità dei Monti church at the top. This popular Roman monument was designed by architects Francesco de Sanctis and Alessandro Specchi and was completed in 1725. At the lower end of the stairs, in the Piazza di Spagna, you can find an early Baroque fountain called Fontana della Barcaccia (Fountain of the Old Boat). The fountain has the form of a sinking ship and is said to be based upon a folk legend that tells a story of a fishing boat that was carried all the way to this exact spot during a massive flood of the Tiber River in the 16th century. Take a seat on the grand staircase and take in the beauty of the eternal city.

On the map : Rome, the capital of Italy and in the Lazio region, is in the center of the country on the western side, closest to the Tyrrhenian Sea. The city is fed by many major highways and is roughly 173 miles (279 km) south of Florence and 140 miles (226 km) northwest of Naples.

As both the capital of Italy and the capital of Italy’s Lazio region, Rome (Italian: Roma) is a popular destination among world travelers. The city’s history spans 28 centuries. Roman mythology dates the founding at around 753 BC, making Rome one of the oldest continuously occupied sites in Europe. While Roman architecture and rich Italian food make this city famous, it is also regarded as the birthplace of Western civilization. It’s easy to understand why it is ranked the 3rd most-visited city in the EU.

Known as the “Eternal City,” Rome is a masterpiece of art, food, history, and Italian culture. Stroll the ancient streets and enjoy a classic Italian meal, complete with world-famous gelato. Explore the almost-endless list of museums and monuments, including the Colosseum, the Pantheon, the Vatican Museums, St. Peter’s Basilica, and the Roman Forum. All are sure to give you a feeling of expertise about Italian and Roman history.

Fulfill your dream of capturing Rome’s beauty on this exclusive tour with a professional photographer. Zip-around on a Golf Cart and visit the best photo opportunities in Rome. Bring your photography gear or smartphone, and a real pro will take you to the most picturesque spots in the Eternal City. Happening during Rome’s world-famous “Golden Hour,” the experience is a balanced mixture of iconic monuments, panoramic views, and everyday life. You will be taken from spot to spot, without worrying about where to go—the perfect spots are planned for you in advance. Choose different angles or apply different settings and features. Your local guide will explain the history of various sites while assisting you in capturing the moment. At the end of your tour, your fellow travelers will celebrate with a typical aperitivo in the center of Rome.  Enjoy!

Skip the long lines, and explore one of the most beautiful museums in the world with an expert guide. Your VIP tour allows entrance into the Vatican Museums one hour before it is open to the public. Enjoy the early quiet of the Pinecone Courtyard and the Museo Clementino. Admire the artistry of the statue of the Lacoon Priest of Troy. Your guide will escort you to a roped-off room, the Cabinet of the Masks, opened exclusively for our guests. The 18th century hall has stunning mosaic floors, brought from Hadrian’s Villa at Tivoli. Listen to tales of the statues of the Three Graces, Aphrodite, and the Nymphs. Having enjoyed the solace of the Vatican’s Secret Room, make your way through the Vatican Museums with breathtaking highlights such as the Belvedere Torso, inspiration for Christ’s likeness in Michelangelo’s Last Judgment in the Sistine Chapel. Discover the Gallery of Tapestries, the Gallery of Maps, and the Raphael Rooms, created exclusively by this master artist.

Your tour continues to Michelangelo’s gem, the Sistine Chapel. The Chapel observes silence—your guide will tell you about this sacred space before you enter. Visit St. Peter’s Basilica, with art such as the Pietà by Michelangelo, a sculpture of Mary holding Jesus. Other renowned works include the Baldacchino by Bernini, and Michelangelo’s majestic dome, which marks Rome’s skyline. After the tour, climb to the top for stunning views. 

Named after Pope Sixtus IV, the Sistine Chapel is perhaps the most famous chapel in the world. It is renowned in both form - with its incredible artwork, and function - as the Papal Conclave. The ceiling and western wall of the Sistine Chapel are adorned with some of the most astonishing paintings in the world created by the famous artist – Michelangelo Buonarroti. Despite being one of the most cherished works of art in history, Michelangelo was originally hesitant to paint the ceiling of the chapel for he saw himself as more of a sculptor than a painter. 

The middle section of the ceiling depicts 9 stories from the Book of Genesis, including the iconic ‘Creation of Adam’ where the hand ofGod is seen reaching to Adam to give him life. In 1535 Michelangelo was commissioned once again to paint the western wall over the altar. Michelangelo completed this spectacular painting of the ‘Last Judgment’ in 1541. The painting depicts the end-of-days and second coming of Christ when according to Christian faith all souls will be judged by Jesus, the Saints, and God and sent to heaven or hell.

St. Peter’s Basilica is an Italian Renaissance church in Vatican City, the papal enclave within the city of Rome. While it is neither the mother church of the Catholic Church nor the cathedral of the Diocese of Rome, St. Peter’s is regarded as one of the holiest Catholic shrines and is the largest church in the world. Catholic tradition holds that the Basilica is the burial site of Saint Peter, chief among Jesus’s Apostles and the first Bishop of Rome. Construction of the present basilica, which would replace Old St. Peter’s Basilica from the 4th century, was completed in 1626. The basilica is cruciform in shape, with an elongated nave in the Latin cross form and the central space is dominated both externally and internally by one of the largest domes in the world. The interiors, characterized by huge mosaics, are sites of some of the most famous art works in the world, including Michelangelo’s Pietà. For those planning to enter St. Peter’s Basilica, there is a dress code, much like that of any church. For a unique perspective, head skyward for a tour of the dome and enjoy the incredible views over St. Peter’s Square.

*Please note that La Tradizione is closed on Sundays. 

Your Colosseum & Ancient Rome Experience, with our Exclusive Arena Access, begins at the legendary Colosseum. You and your semi-private group will pass through the Gladiator Gate and have priority access to the Colosseum arena floor. Just a quick stop for security, then skip the lines! Step out directly onto the same level where gladiators fought. This extraordinary perspective is only available to a limited number of visitors. Your guide will amaze you with tales of the ancient gladiators and performances.

From the restricted arena floor, you will be close enough to the Colosseum underground for a fascinating glimpse of the dungeons where spectacles were managed and coordinated.  Next, your guide will lead you to the second floor. Enjoy the panoramic views from Caesar’s balcony, hear wild tales and anecdotes, and become aware of what it looked like thousands of years ago. During the tour, your guide will use visual aids to help recreate the ancient world. If you wish, you can download an app before the tour and then view VR reconstructions with a pair of goggles that will be provided by the guide.

After your tour inside the Colosseum, climb Palatine Hill for stunning views of Rome. This hilltop neighborhood was once home to the elite political figures who were the backbone of the Roman Empire. Learn about everyday ancient Roman life as you descend into the grand Roman Forum, the public center for Roman political life. Visit inspiring structures such as Julius Caesar’s Temple, the Temple of Antonio & Faustina, and the Basilica of Maxentius.

Situated just east of the Roman Forum, in Rome, the Colosseum is the largest amphitheater ever built and was completed in AD 80. In its time, the Colosseum could hold an estimated 80,000 spectators, with an average audience of 65,000, who were seated according to rank. It was used for gladiatorial contests, public spectacles, animal hunts, executions, reenactments of famous battles, and dramas based on Classical mythology. Although the Colosseum was badly damaged by earthquakes and stone-robbers in medieval times, it is still an iconic symbol of Imperial Rome and one of Rome’s most popular tourist attractions. 

Palatine Hill, Rome, Lazio Region

Located above the Roman Forum, the Palatine Hill is the most central of the seven hills of Rome and forms one of the oldest parts of the city. Considered to be the birthplace of the Italian capital and is believed to have been inhabited since the year 1000 B.C. During the Republican Period Roman citizens belonging to the upper class settled in the Palatine Hill and built sumptuous palaces, of which important traces are still preserved, you can see hundreds of ruins of the imposing buildings that were created. From Palatine Hill you can get the best views of the Roman Forum from above.

House of the Vestal Virgins, Rome, Lazio Region

This circular temple on the Roman Forum was dedicated to Vesta, the popular goddess of home, hearth and family. The vestal virgins, who lived next door in the Casa delle Vestali, were responsible for keeping the temple's sacred flame permanently alight.

Timeless Luxury Hotel - Florence, Tuscany Region

Your guide, an expert personal shopper with an eye for Florentine quality, beauty, and authenticity, will lead you on the Florence Artisan Shopping Walk. This is a delightful tour of workshops throughout the historic Oltrarno quarter, including a mosaic and scagliola workshop, where you’ll see mosaic landscapes “painted” with marble and stones.  There’s also a wood workshop, where traditional furnishings and sculptures are still carved by hand. You'll visit a leather shoemaker’s studio and discover how hand-crafted shoes are created.  Be amazed by a Florentine paper workshop, where the authentic Florentine marbled paper is created by a bookbinder in the historic Oltrarno quarter—there are only a few of these left in the world.

Historic Center of Florence, Tuscany Region

Florence, in the Florence and Tuscany Region, is a seductive city where life is sweet. World-class art, architecture, and cuisine fill your senses—the entire historic center is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Built on the site of an Etruscan settlement, and then the Roman ‘Florentia’ in 59 BC, Florence came into its own during the Medici family’s prominence in the 15th and 16th centuries.

This Tuscan city is a treasure trove, showcasing 700 years of cultural and artistic works. While you’re in Florence, take time to discover the Uffizi and Pitti Palace and the works of masters such as Giotto, Brunelleschi, Botticelli, and Michaelangelo. The Arno River runs through the city, and several bridges connect its banks, including Ponte Vecchio and Ponte Santa Trinita. The entire city center is a unique marriage of museums, churches, architecture, and art. Dare to be dazzled!

Florence Cathedral, Florence, Tuscany Region

The Florence Cathedral, also known as the Cathedral of Saint Mary of the Flower, is the main church of Florence. Completed in 1436, the exterior of the basilica is faced with polychrome marble panels in various shades of green and pink and has an elaborate 19th-century Gothic Revival façade. The basilica is one of Italy’s largest churches and is the largest brick dome ever constructed. Although the architecture of the cathedral is something magnificent to behold, the cathedral also holds a great significance in the Roman Catholic Diocese as it is the mother church of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Florence.

Uffizi Gallery, Florence, Tuscany Region

The Uffizi Gallery (Italian: Galleria degli Uffizi) is a prominent art museum located next to the Piazza della Signoria in the Historic Center of Florence, Italy. As one of the first modern museums, it was officially opened to the public in 1865. The museum features notable works from world-famous artists such as Sandro Botticelli, Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, Caravaggio, and Raphael. Touring the Uffizi Gallery is sure to be one of the highlights of visiting Florence, and with an abundance of artwork, visitors could spend an entire day exploring the exhibits. 

On the Map: Florence is the capital city of the Firenze province in central Italy’s Tuscany region. The city is located about 145 miles (230 km) northwest of Rome.

Florence is surrounded by gently rolling hills dotted with lovely villas, vineyards, and orchards. Few cities in the world are so compact in size and filled with such rare treasures of extraordinary art, architecture, and fresh cuisine. The city has remained much the same since the Renaissance—its narrow, cobbled streets are a cinematic feast of elegant 15th- and 16th-century palazzi (palaces), medieval candle-lit chapels, fresco-decorated churches, and marble basilicas.

World-class art museums hold collections and sculptures by Botticcelli, Michelangelo, and Leondardo da Vinci, among others. Make sure you leave plenty of time to wander her stone-paved lanes and stop at café’s, wine bars, and craft shops. Florence is the home of La Dolce Vita—feel the joy! The entire city center is a UNESCO World Heritage site.

Don’t miss a single one of Florence's best sights on this Florence walking tour, including the Ponte Vecchio, Duomo, and many more. With small groups of 15 people or less and skip-the-line access to Michelangelo’s David, we make the most of every second we have together and immerse you in the stories and facts that bring the city to life. 

Your Florence Walking Tour starts with skip-the-line access to the Florence Accademia. Once inside, your expert guide will reveal the fascinating history of Michelangelo’s David, whose beauty and size have to be seen to be believed. Another highlight is Florence’s famous cathedral, the Duomo. As you admire its monumental exterior from the Piazza del Duomo, your guide will tell you the improbable story of Filippo Brunelleschi and how this Renaissance man re-discovered knowledge lost for more than a millennium to build the Cathedral’s world-famous dome - one of the largest on earth. Before leaving the Piazza, you’ll stop at the Baptistery. During a close look at the world-renowned Baptistery doors, dubbed the 'Gates of Paradise', your guide will tell you the story of the cut-throat competition that created this glittering masterpiece. 

You'll also take a breezy stroll past the highlights of the city like the Piazza della Signoria, where you’ll admire Florence’s other world-famous sight, the towering Palazzo Vecchio. Visit the original site for Michelangelo’s David, where an exact replica stands. Hear the stories behind the statues at Orsanmichele Church, rub the Porcellino pig’s nose for good luck, and feel swept up by history at the Piazza della Repubblica - the Ancient Roman forum that later became the city’s Jewish ghetto. By the end of your Florence walking tour, you won’t just have “seen” Florence’s most famous sights; you’ll have discovered their histories, stories, and what makes them so notable.

Bardini Gardens, Florence, Tuscany Region

Virtually unknown, and many times almost deserted, this 4 hectare garden was recently restored to part of its original glory and is now slowly being rediscovered by the locals and guests to the city of Florence. First time visitors to the Renaissance city just might not have time to fit it into their already full itinerary; however, those who are coming back to Florence again (and again and again) should really find time to walk the grounds. In an hour you can stroll the entire garden easily and calmly, and that is what this garden deserves: time for a short stroll that will sooth your soul.

Ponte Vecchio, Florence, Tuscany Region

Ponte Vecchio is a medieval stone segmental arch bridge over the Arno River in Florence, Italy. The bridge is famous for still having shops built along it, something that was once very common. While butchers initially occupied the shops, the present tenants include jewelers, art dealers and souvenir sellers. Unlike all of the other bridges in Florence, the Ponte Vecchio was not destroyed by Germans during World War II, making it a symbol of resilience. This symbolism was furthered in 1966, when a catastrophic flood hit the city and threatened the bridge. The bridge was repeatedly struck by large debris carried by the raging waters of the Arno and whole tree-trunks pierced right through the shops on the upstream side. However, the bridge remained intact and is still a popular destination for travelers in Florence. 

See the Best of Tuscany on this full-day guided, small-group, trip from Florence. Your Tuscany tour has rolling hills, lush vineyards, and food to die for. We’ll take you to three of Tuscany’s most charming hilltop towns. Break for a dream lunch at a beautiful Tuscan estate, and enjoy an exclusive tasting of Chianti’s finest wines. Visit Siena, the first stunning hilltop town of the three, followed by a visit to San Gimignano, the Manhattan of Tuscany. Finally, visit Monteriggioni, a small jewel of a hilltop town situated in a charming, medieval hamlet. You'll indulge in a gourmet lunch of local Tuscan specialties with homegrown ingredients. Yes, that means real extra-virgin olive oil and Chianti’s finest wines!

Historic Center of Siena, Tuscany Region

According to UNESCO, “The historic center of Siena is a testimony to human creativity and expresses human artistic and aesthetic capacity in material form.” That’s a lot to live up to, but as the embodiment of a medieval city, it’s an absolute success. Over time, people and politics came and went, but the city’s Gothic appearance, created during the 12th through the 15th centuries, has endured.

Siena was built around the Piazza del Campo and conceived of as a work of art that seamlessly blends with the landscape. Siena is also the perfect base to go wine and cheese tasting, bicycling through vineyards, orchards, past country farms, and back into town. Heavenly views abound in Siena.

Siena, Tuscany Region

On the map: Siena, a city in central Italy’s Tuscany region, is distinguished by its medieval brick buildings.

Siena might be Italy’s loveliest medieval city, where the architecture soars, as do the souls of many of its visitors. Effectively a giant, open-air museum celebrating the Gothic, Siena has spiritual and secular monuments that have retained both their medieval forms and their extraordinary art collections, providing the visitor with plenty to marvel at. The fan-shaped central square, Piazza del Campo, is the site of the Palazzo Pubblico, the Gothic town hall, and Torre del Mangia, a slender 14th-century tower with sweeping views from its distinctive white crown. The city’s 17 historic contrade (districts) spread outward from the piazza and are as close-knit and colourful today as they were in the 17th century, when their world-famous horse race, the Palio, was inaugurated. Within each contrada lies vibrant streets populated with artisanal boutiques, sweet-smelling pasticcerie (pastry shops) and tempting restaurants. It's a feast for the senses and an essential stop on every Tuscan itinerary.

Chianti, Tuscany Region

On the Map : Chianti is a town and territory in the Tuscany region of Italy. It is located about 18 miles (30 km) south of Florence and 26 miles (42 km) north of Siena.

The Chianti region is world renowned for its vineyards and olive groves. It is dotted with small medieval castles, villas, and villages. The villages of Chianti often have Romanesque churches and the castles are fortified, a remnant of the ancient fights between the towns of Siena and Florence. Chianti is a lovely area to explore, and the winemaking region runs between these same two towns. This gorgeous area has been home to muses, explorers, and artists.

Opulent Palace Hotel - Venice, Veneto Region

Combining must-see sites and hidden corners, this Venice Walking Tour takes you to the heart of the city in just three hours; giving you a broad overview of the history, culture and character of the Floating City. Led by a local guide, you’ll start your tour of Venice by the Rialto Bridge and learn how the structure was considered so daring in its engineering that critics at the time predicted it would fall (still standing, 420 years later!). Drop by the Rialto Fish Market to hear about the city's fishermen before veering off the beaten path into Cannaregio; one of the loveliest, most authentic areas of Venice. As you wind through Venice’s hidden alleyways, your local guide will regale you with tales of the city’s past and present. Curious about real estate prices? Or how they handle flooding? Now’s your chance to ask a real insider! 

While the atmosphere of Venice is best experienced on a walking tour of its streets and canals, there are some sights you just can’t miss. St. Mark’s Basilica is top of this list, as long general access lines usually attest. With pre-reserved tickets, you’ll get straight inside for a 30-minute tour with your guide. Learn how the relics of St. Mark arrived here by dubious means, admire its incredible gold mosaics and understand why the church’s east-meets-west architecture is a perfect representation of the city of Venice.

The best is yet to come! At the conclusion of your tour, your local insider will leave you in the expert hands of a professional gondolier. Climb onboard a traditional Venice gondola (6 people or fewer to a boat) for a half-hour excursion through the city’s canals. Sit back and enjoy exploring the city as it was meant to be seen – from the water!

Bridge of Sighs, Venice, Veneto Region

The Bridge of Sighs (Ponte dei Sospiri) is an enclosed bridge made of white limestone with windows with stone bars. The bridge passes over the Rio di Palazzo, and connects the New Prison to the interrogation rooms in the Doge's Palace. Despite being considered one of the most romantic sites in Venice, the bridge was built in 1602 so that convicts could go straight from being sentenced in the palace courtrooms to their prison cell (or execution) across the bridge. Rather than connecting two roads on either side of the water, the bridge travels from one building to the other. 

Saint Mark's Basilica, Venice, Veneto Region

Saint Mark's Basilica is the cathedral church of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Venice, northern Italy. It is the most famous of the city's churches and one of the best known examples of Italo-Byzantine architecture. It lies at the eastern end of the Piazza San Marco, adjacent and connected to the Doge's Palace. Originally it was the chapel of the Doge, and has been the city's cathedral only since 1807, when it became the seat of the Patriarch of Venice, archbishop of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Venice, formerly at San Pietro di Castello. For its opulent design, gold ground mosaics, and its status as a symbol of Venetian wealth and power, from the 11th century on the building has been known by the nickname Church of Gold.

On the map : Venice is a city in northeastern Italy and it’s the capital of the Veneto region. The city is built on a group of 118 islands, separated by canals, and linked by more than 400 bridges. The islands are in a shallow lagoon, lying between the mouths of the Po and Piave rivers. 55,000 people live in the historic island city of Venice. Venice is 325 miles north of Rome and 186 miles from Slovenia. It is situated by the Adriatic Sea.

Due to its geographic position, Venice traded with the Byzantine Empire and the Middle East. By the late 13th century, Venice was the most prosperous city in Europe. At  its height, 36,000 Venetian sailors, operating 3,300 ships, dominated Mediterranean trade. Powerful families vied to create the most extravagant homes in Venice, many of which still stand in their glory.

Murano & Burano Small Group Boat Tour

No trip to Venice is complete without discovering the Venetian Lagoon's two most cherished islands. This half day trip to Murano from Venice offers transport by private boat and a dedicated guide throughout. Gain perspective on the ageless arts of glassblowing and lacemaking and the mastery of artisans, as well as delight in the unique charm of the tranquil canals and piazzas of these vibrant islets.

Once you reach the meeting point in central Venice, you'll be whisked off to Murano to see its world-famous blown glass. Admire the 'City of Bridges' from the water with sweeping views and commentary from your guide as you get ready to witness the magic of Murano glass. All glassmaking was moved to this tiny group of islands in the Middle Ages, and it was the only place where mirrors were made for centuries. Techniques were so secret that perpetrators risked execution for leaking them. Times have changed, but you'll behold exactly what has made Murano glass so sought after for nearly 750 years.

Upon arrival, dock at a specially chosen glassblowing workshop to marvel as craftsmen shape molten glass into dazzling works of art. See these sparkling treasures come to life as you learn how colors and the most ambitious shapes come to be. After browsing in the gallery, explore Murano to enjoy its sleepy canals and San Donato church, a stunning example of Byzantine architecture, without being hurried.

The next stop on your Venice cruise is Burano. Considered by many as one of the most colorful places in the world, this small fishing community with its brightly colored houses also has some of the finest handmade lace anywhere. Watch this cultural tradition in action as women stitch by hand, like countless generations before them. After the demonstration, you will have free time to visit the lace museum, stroll Burano's vibrant waterways, or shop for souvenirs.

Classic Venice Cooking Class

The lagoon is home to fantastic ingredients from land and sea. From 'bigoli in salsa' to polenta, risotto and ‘baicoli’ biscuits, learning to cook with the lagoon's produce is a voyage of discovery into Venice's long and rich history as a trading crossroads. Take a step off the tourist trail and encounter the real Venice. Learning how to cook in a local home is a wonderful way to gain insight into Italy's real culture. What could be a better souvenir than cooking knowledge to last a lifetime?

During your class, you'll learn how to use the best seasonal ingredients to make an appetizer, traditional pasta made from scratch, and even a decadent dessert!  In the second part of the workshop, sit down and with a good glass of wine and indulge in all your hard work. Cooking and dining with a local host gives you the chance to be welcomed in as one of the family and dive into in the traditions of everyday Italy.

Doge's Palace, Venice, Veneto Region

The Doge's Palace (Palazzo Ducale) is a monumental piece of architecture built in Venetian Gothic style, and one of the main landmarks of the city of Venice, in northern Italy. The palace was the residence of the Doge of Venice, the supreme authority of the former Republic. It was built in 1340, and extended and modified in the following centuries.

Burano, Veneto Region

On the map : Burano is an island in the Venetian Lagoon, northern Italy; like Venice itself, it could more correctly be called an archipelago of four islands linked by bridges. It is situated near Torcello at the northern end of the Lagoon.

Burano is known for its lace work, brightly colored fishermen's houses, and its casual eateries serving seafood from the lagoon. The Museo del Merletto has exhibits on the development of lace-making in the area, and shops sell lace products like linens and clothes, as well as delicious  local butter cookies called "bussolai buranei." This quiet village with only about 2,000 full-time residents allows you to experience the magic of the canals and the picturesque buildings in a more tranquil atmosphere than bustling Venice. 

Piazza San Marco, Venice, Veneto Region

Piazza San Marco, often known in English as St Mark's Square, is the principal public square of Venice, Italy, where it is generally known just as la Piazza. It was established during the ninth century, but adopted its current size and form in 1177, and was paved one hundred years later. The Piazza San Marco is one of the most beautiful in the world. Napoleon called it “the world’s most beautiful drawing room”.

"Great trip in Ireland & Scotland"

Ireland/Scotland trip was a great trip planned with our group and Jorie. We thoroughly enjoyed each city we visited in both countries. All our hotels were very nice but as older adults, I would advise to pack light which is hard to do if your visit is extended but we had to climb stairs in several places. My favorite thing in both countries are the people. Everyone was so friendly and inviting at hotels, restaurants and local sites. We felt completely safe and comfortable. I would agree with other travelers that driving is stressful for both driver and passengers especially in Ireland where the roads are extremely narrow with rock walls on each side. Next trip will include staying in certain cities with tours out. JerPoint Park in Ireland was a favorite of our group of 4. Authentic Vacations plans, reservations and communications were first rate.

"Wonderful Scottish and Irish adventure"

South Carolina

Lauren, thank you for putting together a wonderful Scottish and Irish adventure. In many unexpected ways it indeed was an adventure that we will remember forever. So sincere thanks. Despite a glitch in St Andrews your team's recovery actually made St Andrews the highpoint of our trip. Staying at Rusacks overlooking the first tee and eighteenth green of the old course was awesome. All the Hotels were first rate. Experiences - awesome The Clontarf Castle is an awesome way to the trip. Well done y'all.  Big city stays - We all felt like we could have used an extra day in the larger cities. They all had a story to tell, and we just had enough time to scratch the surface. Self-drive - while less expensive alternative, the person doing the driving misses out on a lot in transit, while the passenger's white knuckle thru the driver's learning process. Also, the roads in Scotland and Ireland are no joke.  Would recommend it is worth it to hire a private chauffer driver or go Small Guided for sure.

"Scotland Birthday Trip"

Adina, I'm following up on my client's train/whiskey tour/ birthday trip to Scotland in October. They had a wonderful time! The whiskey tour day was their favorite, made extra special by their driver Alec who was a superstar. My client's boyfriend is a real train enthusiast. They enjoyed all the train trips, and Nick was like a child on the Jacobite train. Thanks so much for your help with this trip. You clearly know Scotland and planned a very nice route with some unique requirements. I greatly appreciate your expertise and attentive service. I look forward to working with you again in the future. An early Happy Holidays!

"Memorable Trip in Italy"

Fort Thomas, KY

Amber, I received this email from my client Mrs. R this morning - I love being able to share these with you all :). "Loryl, WOW! What a wonderful trip we had in Italy! Thank you for helping make this trip so memorable. We have so many wonderful memories that we will cherish forever. It was a trip of a lifetime. Thank You!  I guess we need to start thinking about our next trip. "

"Trip of a lifetime in Ireland"

Jennifer, I want to thank you for planning and arranging our wonderful vacation in Ireland. Everything was easy Peezy as my granddaughter would say. The hotels were all beautiful, each one was uniquely different and beautiful. We enjoyed each and the food was enjoyable. We enjoyed all the extra goodies. We were not able to take either sea cruise as the weather canceled the trips. The best decision we made was to have a guide /driver. Martin was an absolute wonder. I wanted to bring him home with us. He saw to every detail and was extremely entertaining to boot. His recommendations were spot on to our interests. I think he knows everyone in Ireland. The car was super too. The back seats were massage chairs. How cool can you get? As a great extra the Owner of Screebe House bought two of my paintings and commissioned two more. Again, many thanks for the trip of a lifetime.

"Two-week trip to Ireland and Scotland"

Our vacation was wonderful we had a great time on our two-week trip to Ireland and Scotland. Jorie helped us plan our trip, she worked hard to include all the places we wanted to see and selected some great adventures for us to enjoy along the way. We truly loved Ireland, the countryside the beautiful sights and the flowers blooming everywhere made our visit one to remember for sure. 

"Wonderful Anniversary Trip in Ireland"

Hi Jorie, Rose and I had a wonderful time in Ireland! We couldn’t believe how well everything worked out and the locations selected for our stays were excellent. We really loved the Country House and Abbyglen Castle.  The staff at Abbbyglen Castle were so nice and made our anniversary evening wonderful! We had no idea there was so much aviation and radio history in Clifden! As for the other locations they were all first-rate as well. We went to the “Man O’ War” Pub for dinner our last night in Ireland. It was a great recommendation. The atmosphere, hospitality, and food were awesome. Again, thank you for helping to set up a wonderful trip which we will never forget. 

"All of my clients had only positive feedback"

This was my first time using Authentic Vacations. I worked with Ellie, and she knocked it out of the park! Every detail with transfers, trains, boutique hotels, castles, private tours and fantastic client feedback will keep me coming back! I had 5 vacations with varied budgets this past month.

LUXURY ITALY TRAVEL PLANNER

FIVE STAR ITALY 

THE PASSION BEHIND THE PROCESS

Visiting Italy is falling in love at first sight. There are endless regions to discover, each casting its own magical spell on anyone who visits. With my never-ending thirst for knowledge of all things Italy, my dream is to share that passion and knowledge so everyone can experience the magic of Italy for themselves. The most important goal for every trip is to have every second count. Whether you are visiting the Vatican, riding a gondola through Venice or just lying by a seaside pool, every moment- big or small- should be special and memorable. From my numerous trips to Italy, I have researched and experienced the best of the best; customized tours with VIP access, private drivers, magnificent hotels and off the beaten path destinations that are as enchanting as anywhere else. As Five Star Italy plans every detail of your trip from the moment you arrive, all you have to do is create your own unforgettable memories.

As the name of my company suggests, the focus is for you to have a five star experience from the moment you contact Five Star Italy to the moment you arrive back home.   The trip planning process begins with understanding exactly what you desire from your vacation; whether it is rest and relaxation, history and culture, food and wine, shopping, adventure, or a combination of it all. 

The beauty of Italy is that there are so many regions to explore. Whether it is your first, second or tenth trip to Italy, there is always something new to discover. For many people, it is overwhelming trying to figure out where to go, for how long and how to get from one place to the other.

You will embark on your journey having every moment planned to reflect your wants and desires; from the hotels you stay in, to the restaurants you eat at, to the scenic walks and  tours that you take. 

Exceeding client expectations and personalization are the guiding principles of Five Star Italy.

Editoral Review of Star Tours

Offering escorted and tailor made holidays, Star Tours is one of the most popular ways to find fully pre-packaged trips around the world.

What Makes Them Stand Out?

Star Tours is a tour operator specializing in escorted and tailor made holidays around the world, but focused in London and Asia.

Who Travels With Them?

Groups of 20 or more attend their coach tours, or you can hop on a pre-planned tour with a smaller group. They do request a single supplement so this may not the best choice for solo travelers.

Where Do They Operate?

Star Tours has tours all over the world, but are well known for the London and Asia tours.

Why Travel With Them?

If you are interested in learning the history and culture of a new destination, on a tour led by experienced tour operators, and without the hassle of planning the logistics of your trip, Star Tours is a good option.

Not enough time there to explore. Cheese tasting in Ragusa was fiasco. Forced to leave by other tour guide Daniela after 5 mins even though we had bought wine to drink. In Marsala we had to wait fr Daniela group half an hr. Cut our tasting short. Last night dinner no alternative to fish except salad. Not satisfactory.

Amalfi Coast Walking - Agriturismo

I’loved it every minute! We had the most amazing, patient and understanding guide our awesome Matteo! There was nothing that he wouldn’t help everyone with individual problems! Talk about problems and you name it all! No worries because all was taken care! Very very good tour! Love all about it!

Best of Italy

Loved the free time to explore personal interests.

Hiking in the Dolomites

Great value for money. Good tour guide. Excellent travel company. Some days the hiking was a bit light. Would have given it 5 stars if the hiking was every day. Also tourradar/intrepid could also consider providing a higher cost tour where we stay at different refuges every day. This will reduce the transportation constraints and time and increase the Dolomites amazing experience.

Premium Tuscany

This was our first tour. It was very informative and the cities that were explored were both interesting and beautiful. Unfortunately Italy was experiencing a heat wave and all the walking turned into a lot of sweating ( not your fault ). If in the future we go on another tour... it will be with Tourradar.

Best of Sicily - 8 Days (Small Group Tour)

We were a group of 3 couples who took this trip together. With the exception of problems with airport pickup and transportation to the airport at the end of the trip, we were satisfied with the hotels, meals and guides. In Siracusa, the famous ancient theater was not on the itinerary and with advance information we could have arranged that ourselves. Overall, we enjoyed a successful round trip in Sicily.

Deluxe Italian Escape with picturesque Cinque Terre

TourRadar was excellent. The tours they scheduled were well-run by knowledgeable and amiable guides. Of course, the Italy locations were superb. The office staff kept in constant contact, but unobtrusive. And when I changed plans on the fly, the staff was responsive and thorough. I definitely cannot wait to book my next adventure with TourRadar!

Amalfi Coast Experience

The tour was very well planned and our local guide told us a lot about the region and its characteristics and traditions and gave us tips on what to see and what to try from the regional cuisine.

Taste of Salento-Authentic Culinary Experience

Emilio, Clara, Michael and Antonio were fantastic hosts. The food and the sights visited were fantastic. However, a more protein driven menu would have been appreciated. The Casa Clarita was nice, but needed little attentions such as water in the fridge upon our arrival without asking and napkins. The mattresses would need updating and extra blankets. Being North Americans, it would help paying attention to safe driving. These are only constructive criticism, as we truly enjoyed our week on the farm and highly recommend this tour.

Mamma Mia! - 13 Days/12 Nights

Italy on a Budget did a great job planning a two week tour of Italy ??! We saw ? landmarks, cities, & enjoyed experiencing every part of their culture. Eduardo, our tour guide, did an amazing ? job showing us Italy!! Thank you ?!

Reviews of small group tours to italy.

Carla was very kind and helpful on our tour

This tour was the very best experience we have ever had traveling overseas. The booking process was seamless and painless. We felt especially grateful that while the group was limited to 8 participants, it was guaranteed to proceed with 2 people. As it ended up, our trip was just me and my husband and we felt so fortunate to have had the attention of the guides in such a personal way. The guides were all tremendous and I am confident that a larger group would have felt equally tended to. Special thanks to our guides and drivers: Denise, Orazio, Roberto, Carlos, Fabio and Massimo. Part of what was truly evident was how passionate they each were about Sicily and how many of them had connections with people at the restaurants, local businesses and attractions that we went to. We felt like we were in such good hands during the time we were with all of the guides. Each tour and activity was enlightening and educational. The included lunches and other meals were top notch. The opening night walking food and wine tour was a great way to kickoff the trip. There were some others who joined us for that portion, and it was most welcome. I don't think it would have been as much fun for the restaurants and enoteca to have just 2 people and the guide show up, and we knew the rest of the trip we would have individual attention. We felt pampered with our lunches on the Mafia tour, at the winery on Etna, in Marzememi and Agrigento. There was never a feeling of penny-pinching, more plush and like what we would have chosen for ourselves! The selected hotels were excellent! Centrally located, each with a fantastic breakfast spread and fun bar/restaurants. We would happily go back to any of them again and recommend them. We loved the scheduling each day and felt like we had a great mix of free time to explore on our own. Lastly, Graziana was out lifeline while we were traveling. She connected with us daily to check in, and to share the next days plan and name of our guide and where they would meet us. She made dinner reservations for us while we were there and provided recommendations that were helpful. We didn't encounter any issues, but felt that we had a ready ally if needed. Massimo also checked in midtrip, so we truly felt like everyone was interested in us having the best possible trip. I cannot wait to return to Sicily. We have recommended Sicily Activities to many people since our return and would book again in a heartbeat.

I can’t say enough good things about our experience in Sicily thanks to Mossimo and his team. Excellent, informative tour guides…Denise, Carlos, Antonio and Sem. The cooking class may have been the highlight, but all of the activities were fun and the pace of the tour, planned activities/free time mix was perfect. Will definitely recommend!

Charlotte ann (minch) frampton.

Frampton, Charlotte Ann (nee Minch) Charlotte Frampton of Eagan, MN passed away peacefully on April 4 at the age of 83 after a several-year battle with Alzheimer's. Charlotte was born and raised in Akron OH by her parents Cecil and Elizabeth Minch. In 1960 she married her high school sweetheart, Gene Frampton and together they raised three children in Apple Valley. Charlotte worked in the Human Resources Department at Unisys for 10 years. After earning a Master's Degree in Human Resources Development at The American University, she started an HR consulting business, and co-authored a book about the effects of corporate mergers on employees. She and Gene were very active in their community and had a personal passion for fighting the AIDS epidemic. After losing her brother-in-law to complications of HIV/AIDS in 1985, Charlotte, along with Gene, was an active volunteer for Minnesota AIDS Project (now Rainbow Health) and the Aliveness Project for over 30 years. A strong supporter of women's health, she and Gene were escorts for a women's clinic for many years. Other passions included the theater and opera. She and Gene were docents at the Guthrie Theater and ushers at The Ordway and Jungle Theaters. Charlotte traveled extensively with Gene, and they especially enjoyed opera tours in Italy, New York City, and Chicago. Charlotte was devoted to her family and proposed holding weekly family dinners, a tradition that lasted more than 30 years. Charlotte was also an animal lover and had a great love of the family's cats. Surviving family includes her husband, Gene; their son Scott, Scott's daughter Jessica and her husband Rob and daughter Teddy; their daughter Beth, Beth's husband Craig and stepchildren Zoe, Yana, and Alex; and their daughter Laura and Laura's husband Eric. A celebration of life is planned Saturday, June 29, 3:00 pm. at Wayzata Yacht Club. In lieu of flowers, memorials are preferred to Rainbow Health rainbowhealth.org/donate/
