Italy

Venice, Florence, Rome: signature (4* hotels) low carbon tour by train

Venice → Rome 7 days Up to 10

About this trip

Three of Italy's classic cities, Venice, Florence and Rome, linked by train and free of flights or coach transfers. It's a self-guided tour, so you move at your own pace between cities, with a hand-selected guided sightseeing outing included in each one.

In every destination you get a choice of alternatives for how to spend your time, so the itinerary bends toward what you actually want to see rather than a fixed script. Hotels throughout are 4-star.

The operator offsets all carbon emissions generated by your trip, funding verified environmental projects and native tree planting across Italy.

What you'll do

  • Travel between Venice, Florence and Rome by train
  • Guided sightseeing included in each city

  • Trip's carbon emissions offset through verified projects
Good to know
  • Self-guided format — you follow your own schedule between the included activities
  • Itinerary can be customised by adding cities, extra nights or extra activities
  • Suits travellers who want a structured base (trains, hotels, one guided outing per city) but flexibility on the rest
What travellers actually say

Worth it if you want Italy's big three without booking stress and like train travel. Think twice if you need flexibility—logistics hiccups happen, and Venice hotel quality varies.

  • Hotels brilliantly positioned near train stations; Venice property on Grande Canal with easy ferry access to explore islands.
  • Included activities like Vatican tour and pizza-making in Florence genuinely exceeded expectations; train instructions particularly well done.
  • Island tours (Murano, Burano) rushed—advertised 50 minutes but often only 30; Colosseum tour mix-ups and one train didn't reach Rome destination.
  • Every second day moves feel long over six days; voucher-to-ticket exchange instructions unclear; emergency contact details not always obvious.
