About this trip
Eight days across Italy's big art cities, moving by coach with a guide who handles the logistics and gives you the history as you go.
You take in Rome, Florence and Venice along with smaller stops like Assisi, Siena, Bologna and the Montepulciano area, staying in central 4-star hotels throughout.
It's a guided, group format with meals built in, suited to travellers who want the highlights covered without planning routes or transport themselves.
What you'll do
- Guided tours through Rome's historic centre
- Walk the medieval streets of Assisi
- Explore Renaissance Florence with a local guide
- See Siena and Bologna en route between cities
- Finish in Venice, including canal-side exploring
- Stop in the Montepulciano area for local food and wine
- You cover seven destinations in eight days, so expect a new base most nights
- Travel is by coach with a guide leading the tours throughout
- Rated easy, but the pace is brisk given how much ground you cover
Worth it if you're fit, happy researching ahead, and don't mind large groups. Think twice if you need hand-held guidance or want intimate travel.
- Guides Stephano and Sabrina consistently praised for knowledge, patience, and logistics with 44-60 person groups.
- Two nights per location and mix of guided intro plus free time suits independent travellers who've pre-booked tickets.
- Florence hotel repeatedly flagged as noisy with poor food; group size 44-60 feels large in cramped city centres.
- Significant walking required daily; no get-acquainted meal means slow bonding across large groups.
