With their historical magnificence, mighty ruins, superb art, and amazing Italian cuisine, Florence and Rome have attracted the world’s people for centuries.

This tour encompasses classical Italy and includes a visit to the Galleria dell’ Accademia to see Michelangelo’s statue of David, the Ponte Vecchio bridge in Florence, Ostia Antica, ancient and monumental Rome, the Vatican Museums, Sistine Chapel, St. Peter’s Basilica, the Pantheon, Trevi Fountain and the Roman Colosseum.

We will experience the beauty and timelessness of San Gimignano, a virtually untouched medieval city-state in Tuscany, and we’ll take a rail journey to Venice to walk in the Basilica and the Piazza of San Marco.
