Trip details
Itinerary
Day 1 – See the Glories of Ancient Rome
Tour departs: Rome’s Leonardo de Vinci Airport in Fiumicino one hour after the arrival of our selected flight(s). Welcome to Rome, where you'll begin this most family-friendly of Tauck's Italy tours! Walk in the footsteps of the gladiators in the Colosseum and see the Circus Maximus, where ancient chariot races took place. Throw a coin into the Trevi Fountain and make a wish. Join us for a welcome dinner tonight.
Meals: Lunch, dinner
Lodging: Hotel Parco dei Principi, Rome, Italy
Day 2 – Explore Vatican City
Vatican City is full of fascinating history and artistic masterpieces. Tour magnificent St. Peter’s Basilica and view Michelangelo’s famous ceiling in the Sistine Chapel – which the artist originally resisted doing because he considered himself a sculptor, not a painter. A visit to the Vatican is a highlight of all Italy tours.
Meals: Breakfast
Lodging: Hotel Parco dei Principi, Rome, Italy
Day 3 –Experience Medieval Orvieto
Charming Orvieto is a destination seldom visited by other Italy tours. Discover its Etruscan roots and medieval past – as well as what lies under the city in the amazing Orvieto Underground. Continue on to Florence, for a two-night stay in the heart of this beautiful city where the Renaissance was born.
Meals: Breakfast, dinner
Lodging: Hotel Brunelleschi Florence, Italy
Day 4 – Discover the Art and History of Florence
Visit the Galleria dell’Accademia, to see Michelangelo’s David and a host of other art treasures. At the Palazzo Vecchio, meet a 15th-century resident of Florence, who will share some of the secrets of this old palace with you.
Meals: Breakfast
Lodging: Hotel Brunelleschi Florence, Italy
Day 5 – Travel to Venice aboard the High-Speed Eurostar
A rail journey aboard the Eurostar takes you to Venice, a city of islands where the roads are paved with water, and a treasured memory of many Italy tours. Marvel at massive St. Mark’s Square and explore the beautiful Basilica di San Marco. Tour the Doges’ Palace and learn why a small bridge high above a canal is called the Bridge of Sighs. Ride in a gondola and travel through the canals as the Venetians have done for centuries. Sample some gelato, served warmer than traditional ice cream.
Meals: Breakfast, lunch
Lodging: The Westin Excelsior, Venice Lido Resort, Venice, Italy
Day 6 – Experience Venice Your Way
If there is any city in Europe that is perfect for just wandering, seeing and experiencing, it is Venice. Follow the small, cobbled streets and alleyways to see where they lead; visit a museum or just feed the pigeons in Saint Mark’s Square. Join us for a farewell dinner tonight as this most memorable of family Italy tours draws to close.
Meals: Breakfast, dinner
Lodging: The Westin Excelsior, Venice Lido Resort, Venice, Italy
Day 7 – Homeward bound
Tour ends: Venice’s Marco Polo Airport 2 ½ hours before the departure of our selected flight(s). Arrivederci! If you did throw that coin into Trevi Fountain, legend has it that you will return to L’Italia Bella again someday.
