Venice • Florence • Rome | Stay in 4/5-Star Hotels and Private Tours

A complete journey to discover the three most iconic cities of Italian art, history, and culture — designed for travelers who want to explore Italy in a comfortable, refined, and fully organized way. The package includes 7 nights in 4 or 5-star hotels, private transfers in each city, high-speed Frecciarossa train connections in first class, and private tours with certified guides.

Venice, unique in the world for its urban structure on water, is a city suspended in time, known for the magic of its canals, palaces reflected in the lagoon, and architectural masterpieces like St. Mark’s Square. Beyond the romantic charm of gondolas, it offers a rich artistic heritage, authentic islands, and centuries-old traditions to explore.

Florence, the cradle of the Renaissance, is an open-air museum that gave birth to geniuses like Leonardo, Michelangelo, and Dante. It is famous for its monuments, richly decorated churches, world-class art collections, and the timeless elegance of its historic streets. The city is also renowned for its quality of life and refined atmosphere.

Rome, the “Eternal City,” is a journey through over two thousand years of history. From the Colosseum to the Roman Forum, from Baroque masterpieces to the majesty of the Vatican, every corner tells a different chapter of Western civilization. A vibrant capital where the past and present live side by side in harmony.
