About this trip
An 11-day coach tour that runs the length of Italy, from Rome up to Venice and back down to the Amalfi Coast, with a guide handling the logistics throughout.
It's built as an easy, fully guided trip — someone else drives, plans the route and sorts the details, so you can focus on the cities themselves.
Suited to families and groups who want to see Italy's big names without organising anything themselves.
What you'll do
- Explore Rome's historic centre
- Wander Florence
- Take in the canals and streets of Venice
- Spend time on the Amalfi Coast
- Travel is by coach between cities, so you're based in different places over the 11 days
- Easy pace with a fully guided format — no logistics to sort yourself
- Aimed at families and groups rather than independent travellers

Worth it if you want to pack Italy's highlights into 11 days with strong local guides. Think twice if you're older, slow-paced, or dislike hidden extras and variable hotel quality.
- Tour directors and local guides are consistently excellent; Vatican, Pompeii, Colosseum guides particularly knowledgeable and helpful.
- Fast pace and extensive walking with cobblestones and uphill terrain—several older travellers struggled keeping up with the director's speed.
- Hidden costs. Meals listed as included are sometimes just snacks; extra outings charged separately despite stated tour price.
- Hotel quality varies significantly; early stops have poor beds and rooms; Sorrento at the end is excellent. Request room changes if needed.
