About this trip

Eight nights split between Rome and Florence, two cities that between them cover most of what people come to Italy for: history, art and food.

You land in Rome and take in one of the world's great capitals, then move on to Florence to spend time with its Renaissance heritage and quieter corners.

It's an easy-paced city and culture trip, with some days guided and others left free to explore on your own.

What you'll do

  • Explore Rome's historic centre
  • Take in Florence's Renaissance heritage and architecture
  • Spend free time discovering each city's quieter, lesser-known corners
  • Eat your way through Italian regional cooking
Good to know
  • Partially guided, so you'll have some days structured and others free
  • Easy pace, suited to families and mixed groups
  • Runs over the Christmas and New Year period
What travellers actually say

Worth it if you want Italy's big four cities sorted without planning headaches. Think twice if you prefer slower travel or dislike being shepherded through classic tourist routes.

  • Organisers genuinely responsive: pre-trip reminders, during-trip support, issues solved almost immediately.
  • Solid for first-timers or busy people; hits four major Italian cities without DIY planning stress.
  • Trip is customisable—one group added Amsterdam extension, team accommodated without fuss.
