Best of Italy: Rome, Florence & Venice

Start & end in Rome 5 days Up to 50

About this trip

Five days, four cities, and a solid introduction to Italy's big hitters. You move between Rome, Florence, Bologna and Venice with the sightseeing largely sorted for you, staying in 4-star hotels throughout.

Timed entrance tickets mean you skip queues at the major sights, leaving more time to actually look at them. Food is part of the itinerary too, with tastings along the way rather than just sightseeing between meals.

What you'll do

  • Timed entry to key attractions in Rome
  • Wander Florence's historic centre
  • Food tastings in Bologna
  • Explore Venice's canals and squares
Good to know
  • Fast-paced — four cities in five days means a new base most nights
  • Easy walking pace suited to families and first-time visitors to Italy
  • Guided throughout, so logistics and entry tickets are handled for you
What travellers actually say

Worth it if you want guided access to Rome, Florence and Venice with decent hotels and meals included. Think twice if you need clear daily schedules upfront, dislike hidden costs, or prefer a slower pace.

  • Guides like Nicole, Carlos and Stefano genuinely elevate the trip with deep cultural knowledge and multilingual skills.
  • City taxes of around £8 per person per night are not included in the 'included hotels' claim, adding real cost.
  • No printed daily schedule with times means you'll ask your guide repeatedly when to meet and what's happening next.
  • Physically rated easy but actually moderately demanding; some of 25 people struggled to keep pace in five days.
