  • DAY 01: ROME, ASSISI, SIENA, FLORENCE

    You will be picked up at the assigned meeting point in the historical center of Rome to start your sightseeing tour of Italy. The first stop will be in charming Assisi, where you will have free time to explore the beautiful city center. We suggest stopping by the famous Basilica of St. Francis—the breathtaking frescoes in the Upper and Lower Churches are a must-see. After you enjoy lunch on your own, the tour will continue through the panoramic Tuscan hill country. Along the way you will stop in the enchanting city of Siena, known for its rich medieval history and the Palio horse race held twice a year in the famous Piazza del Campo (the main city square). Be ready to take plenty of beautiful photos during your stroll through the lovely historical center. Later in the afternoon, continue to Florence where you will have dinner and get a good night's rest.

    Enjoy a nice breakfast to prepare you for a pleasant day of sightseeing. This morning you will explore Florence's historic city center during a guided tour. Nicknamed the Cradle of the Renaissance, you will marvel at Florence's art, architecture and churches created by the Masters. You will admire the famous Duomo, with its Dome designed by Brunelleschi as well as Giotto’s Bell Tower and the Baptistery, with doors so beautiful that Michelangelo called them the Gates of Paradise. Other highlights of the tour include Piazza Della Signoria, Palazzo Vecchio and the Santa Croce Basilica. Lunch on your own (not included). The afternoon will be at your leisure, where you can choose to shop or visit the Accademia Gallery with the famous David by Michelangelo or the Uffizi Gallery (optional, not included; skip the line reservations recommended and can be arranged separately upon request). You may decide you would rather go on an optional tour of Pisa, and see its famous Leaning Tower and adjoining Cathedral and Piazza dei Miracoli (optional, not included). In the evening you will enjoy dinner and a final night in Florence.

After lunch (not included), you will continue on to Padua, home to many beautiful churches and the oldest botanical garden in the world.

Along the way you will also see the Bridge of Sighs, which connects to the prison where Casanova was held for 5 years. The afternoon is free, giving you time to shop, take a tour to Murano Island with a visit to one of its famous glass workshops, enjoy a Bellini in front of the Grand Canal or take in more of Venice's art at one of the many local museums (optional, not included). Dinner will be with the group and you will spend the night in Venice.

The group will stop in Montepulciano, a town rich in art and history, where you will have free time to explore at your leisure.
