General
Experience the many faces of Italy, from the grandeur of Rome, Venice and Florence, to the charm of Assisi and Verona and the beauty of the Bay of Naples. In this 16-day adventure, you’ll traverse this exciting country, from the top of the boot to the ankle. What will your favorite memory be? Perhaps it will be the dinner you share with a Sorrento family, the view of the Alps from Lake Maggiore, or the Chianti tasting at the Tuscan Castle of Vicchiomaggio. Each day will bring magical moments to treasure. The scenery will change, but it is beautiful without fail. Azure seas and whitewashed houses frame the views in the south, rolling vineyard-clad hills mark the heartland, and expansive lakes and mountains stretch to the north. Which one will call you back to linger?
