About this trip
Nine days in Italy built around two of its best-known cities, Rome and Florence, with history, art and food woven through both.
You land in Rome and take in a city built on centuries of layered history, then move on to Florence for its Renaissance heritage and quieter corners.
It's a private, partially guided trip, so you get structure where it counts alongside room to explore at your own pace.
What you'll do
- Explore Rome's historic centre
- Take in Rome's landmark sights and atmosphere
- Discover Florence's Renaissance art and architecture
- Uncover lesser-known corners of Florence
- Sample Italian food and wine along the way
- Private and partially guided, so some days are led and others are yours to fill
- Suited to families as well as couples or friends travelling together
- Runs over the Christmas and New Year period
Worth it if you value seamless logistics and responsive support. Think twice if you need central locations or prefer total independence.
- Denise's Venice walking tour was consistently praised; guides made cities come alive.
- 24/7 WhatsApp support resolved real problems quickly: wrong airport pickups, forgotten passports, train confusion.
- Rome hotel location felt far from attractions; central upgrades existed but cost extra at booking.
- Small group size and train-station-adjacent hotels meant relaxed sightseeing but less spontaneous exploration.
