Spend the afternoon at the Academia Museum viewing Michelangelo's "David" and visit the charming Piazza Repubblica. Commence your evening with a rooftop aperitivo and awe-inspiring views at sunset before heading to dinner.

  • Visit Brunelleschi’s Duomo this morning and explore the shops in the nearby area. Enjoy a coffee on a charming piazza for some relaxation. In the evening, you’ll be picked up for a transfer to a cooking class with a local chef, in a traditional Fiorentine home just outside the city. Master the art of crafting a Tuscan dish and indulge in an incredible dinner afterwards with local wine and wonderful company.

  • Today, select your own path to adventure. Opt for a Chianti wine tasting journey, exploring 2-3 wineries and enjoying an authentic countryside lunch. Alternatively, embrace the Italian way with a Vespa tour through Tuscany's scenic landscapes, concluding with a delightful lunch and wine. Share your preference, and we'll make the arrangements! End your day with a walk to a picturesque sunset atop Piazzale Michelangelo.

  • Revel in a morning of fine art at the Uffizi Gallery or the regal Pitti Palace. Immerse yourself in the city's cafes and piazzas, do some shopping, or simply relax for the afternoon. In the evening, enjoy a captivating classical concert, the perfect culmination of romance and delight in Florence.

  • Take the fast train from Florence to Rome today and get settled into your new hotel in Rome. Discover the neighborhood including the Pantheon and Piazza Navona where you can soak up the ambiance with a drink on the piazza. In the evening, head to the vibrant and charming neighborhood of Trastevere for dinner at one of our favorite restaurants.

  • Rise early to explore iconic sites like the Trevi Fountain and Spanish Steps before the crowds. Spend the afternoon exploring the shopping districts and piazzas at your leisure.

  • Spend today exploring the Roman Empire’s most incredible sights - enjoy a tour of the Colosseum and Roman Forum.

Spend the rest of the afternoon exploring and sipping on a cafe in the quaint streets of the Jewish Quarter.

  • Wake up early for a visit at the Vatican, Sistine Chapel, and St. Peter’s Basilica. Do some last minute shopping & exploration in the afternoon. As the sun sets on your final day in Rome, venture off the beaten path to savor an incredible dinner in one of Rome's charming local neighborhoods, a delightful conclusion to your Roman journey.

Select One Activity From Each of the Below:

Day 4 - Tuscan Wine Tour or Tuscan Vespa Tour - Choose one.

A Tuscan wine tour will take you to 3 wineries in the Chianti region with tastings at each, plus lunch. You will be part of a small group tour traveling in an air conditioned van. The Tuscan Vespa Tour takes you to the Tuscan countryside (in a van), where you’ll receive a Vespa driving lesson. Once ready to go, you’ll explore the countryside & scenery on the Vespa for a couple hours. You’ll end the afternoon with a visit to a winery for a tasting and lunch (with a driver, not Vespas). For wine aficionados, we recommend the Chianti wine tour. For those with an adventurous streak, we recommend the Vespa tour.

Day 5 - Pitti Palace or Uffizi Gallery - Choose one.

The Pitti Palace is a former palace owned by the Medici Family, now a palace/museum housing art collections within rooms teeming with opulence. The Uffizi Gallery is one of the best art galleries in the world housing some of the world’s most important works. If you are very into art, we recommend Uffizi. If you prefer seeing medieval luxury, the Pitti Palace is for you.
