About this trip
Fifteen days through Italy in winter, taking in Rome, Florence, Venice and the Amalfi Coast with a fully guided group. It's a classic sweep of the country's history and food, done at an easy pace with the crowds thinned out by the season.
You'll walk through Rome's ancient centre, follow Michelangelo's Florence, and end up on the Amalfi Coast for proper pasta and coastal views. Sorrento gets its moment too, cooler and quieter in winter light.
This is the classic Italy route without rushing it — history, food and a handful of iconic cities, with Christmas or New Year potentially falling somewhere in the middle of your trip.
What you'll do
- Explore Rome's historical centre and ancient landmarks
- Walk the streets of Florence, home to Michelangelo's work
- Taste authentic pasta on the Amalfi Coast
- See Sorrento's cliffside setting in winter
- Spend time in Venice's canals and squares
- Easy-paced and fully guided, suited to those who'd rather not plan logistics themselves
- Winter travel means cooler weather and thinner crowds at major sights
- Covers several cities over 15 days, so expect regular travel between bases
Worth it if you want curated Italian highlights without solo travel logistics and value a tight-knit group vibe. Think twice if you're expecting lots of other solo travellers or prefer independent exploration.
- Tour guides Greg and Bryony deliver exceptional local knowledge—best gelato spots, food specialities, hidden gems like Lake Garda that solo travellers miss entirely.
- Group bonds are genuine and lasting. Travellers describe becoming a 'little family,' building 'forever friendships' rather than surface connections.
- Marketing mentions solo travellers but groups are mostly pre-formed. Single bookers end up vastly outnumbered by existing friend groups.
- Add-ons exist and are highlights, suggesting hidden costs beyond the advertised price. Budget accordingly for optional activities.
