Venice, Florence, Rome, extension to Naples

Consider the deeper meaning of “Beautiful Italy” as you experience its art, history, and culture.

In Venice, cars and roads give way to gondolas and canals, redefining what a city can be. The world’s best collection of Renaissance art awaits in Florence. And wander through the open-air museum that is the city of Rome as you take in monumental pieces of human history at every turn.

Due to national and/or religious holidays, some sites may be closed and your itinerary may be modified on the following dates in 2026: March 19, April 3-8, May 1, June 29, and August 14-15. These dates fluctuate each year—please contact us for more information.
