Mamma Mia! Budget Italy Explorer – 13-Day Small Group Tour

Rome → Venice 13 days Up to 15

About this trip

Thirteen days across Italy's big hitters, built for travellers who want to see a lot without spending a lot. You'll move through Rome, Florence, and Venice, then out to the Amalfi Coast, Cinque Terre, and Tuscany, covering the country's headline sights alongside a small group.

It's a straightforward, guided run through Italy's classics rather than a deep dive into any one region. Expect a mix of structured sightseeing and free time to wander, eat, and explore on your own terms.

Good for solo travellers, couples, or friends who want the highlights of Italy handled for them, at a price that doesn't demand a big budget.

What you'll do

  • Explore Rome's historic centre
  • Wander Florence's Renaissance streets
  • Take in Venice's canals
  • Visit the Amalfi Coast
  • Walk the villages of Cinque Terre
  • See the Tuscan countryside
Good to know
  • Covers a lot of ground in 13 days, so expect regular moves between bases
  • Pitched at budget-conscious travellers rather than a luxury experience
  • Fully guided, with free time built in to explore independently
What travellers actually say

Worth it if you want Italy's highlights without logistical stress and a genuinely excellent guide. Think twice if you dislike long daily walking or need more spontaneity.

  • Guide Grazia consistently praised across reviews as knowledgeable, flexible, genuinely passionate about Italy, and becomes real friends with groups.
  • Smart balance of structured itinerary with free time built in; all transport booked so you're not juggling tickets or logistics yourself.
  • Most days run morning to night with significant walking; physically demanding despite beautiful sights, so stamina matters.
  • Authenticity prioritised—guides steer groups toward local hole-in-the-wall restaurants over tourist traps, deepening genuine cultural immersion.
