Italy is overflowing with art, history, culture — and flat-out fun! So, when it comes to its three greatest cities — Venice, Florence, and Rome — you don't need to take our word for it. Read these raves about our Best of Venice, Florence & Rome tour and our weeklong tour of Rome from some of our recent tour members…
"Venice had its own special features as well as Florence — the Duomo climb was spectacular. Rome just hit me as 'wow.' The Colosseum was just breathtaking and the sheer age of everything was almost incomprehensible. The Vatican experience was wonderful as well."
— Barbara, June 2024, Best of Venice, Florence & Rome in 10 Days tour
"Nothing compares to the amazement I felt walking the streets of the Imperial Forums, the same streets walked by Caesar, Trajan, and other famous historical figures."
— Gretchen, March 2024, Best of Rome in 7 Days tour
"One of my favorite moments was walking through the city, rounding a corner, and WOW it's the Colosseum, or the Vatican, or the Rialto Bridge, or the Duomo. Just surreal! I also had a great time at the cooking school and the winery."
— Beverly, May 2024, Best of Venice, Florence & Rome in 10 Days tour
"How about one 'wow' from each city! Venice: The beauty of St Mark's Basilica, especially the golden mosaics inside. Florence: The glory of David, especially with the unfinished Prisoners providing a glimpse into how Michelangelo worked. Rome: Rounding the corner and seeing the Colosseum for the first time."
— Carolyn, April 2024, Best of Venice, Florence & Rome in 10 Days tour
"Our favorite 'wow' moments were visiting the Colosseum with our wonderful guide and touring the Borghese Gallery with the best guided tour we have ever gone on. Also seeing the Borghese Park, the Forum, and the Pantheon with wonderful guided tours."
— Serge, September 2024, Best of Rome in 7 Days tour
"My 'wow' moment was the trip to Ostia Antica. Sitting in the amphitheater, walking the streets, going through the baths, seeing a villa and the tenements, and then the restaurant gave a real understanding what daily Roman life might have been like."
— John, April 2024, Best of Rome in 7 Days tour
