A day in Italy! How would it be? Well, let us take you on the first day of the 5 day trip to Italy.
Rise and shine for an early departure from Rome via deluxe motor coach to your first destination, Assisi. Today, you will meet your tour guide and get to know your fellow guests.
So, it’s about to begin now! Imagine yourself going through this trip while reading all the details. So, relax, enjoy the ride, and welcome to your “Mini-Italian Adventure” tour!
Arrive in Assisi, in Italy’s Umbrian region, and enjoy some leisure time in this tiny town surrounded by ancient walls and graced by grand castles and historic ancient churches.
A visit to the Basilica of St. Francis, a World Heritage Site, will allow visitors to view the frescoes of Giotto and Cimabue as well as many other beautiful works of art.
Departure from Assisi to Siena.
A UNESCO World Heritage Site, this Tuscan hill town includes magnificent cathedrals, pretty botanical gardens, Gothic palazzos, the shell-shaped Piazza del Campo, the town square and favored gathering place, home to the Palio horse race, an excellent art museum, and plenty of opportunity for people-watching.
And to keep up with your excitement, let us tell you that the moment you start exploring the Tuscan towns, your eyes will experience a medieval cityscape that would look like a miniature Florence. Taking a break from exploring short tour of Italy to relax in one of the many historic wine cellars makes Tuscany so relaxing. With several historic wine cellars and easy access to wine country, it’s my favorite base for exploring the heart of Tuscany.
Departure from Siena to our destination of the evening, magnificent Florence. Arrive at your hotel. Enjoy a leisurely dinner and comfortable overnight accommodations.
After breakfast, we’ll spend the morning exploring this famous city of Etruscan- Roman origins, which flourished in the Middle Ages as a free commune. Now the most populated city in Tuscany, Florence is recognized as the birthplace of the Italian Renaissance and is lauded for its magnificent sites. First, you’ll visit the architectural gem of Florence, the domed cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore, better known as The Duomo (outside visit). This 14th-century masterpiece is visible throughout the city and is the most-visited attraction in Florence. The tour will proceed to the Campanile (bell tower), partly designed by Giotto. The accompanying Baptistery was graced with spectacular bronze doors that artist Michelangelo dubbed “The Gates of Paradise.”
Lunch in a typical restaurant in Santa Croce Square. The piazza Santa Croce in Florence gets its name from the basilica of a same-named church, one among many famous buildings to house frescoes by Giotto and sculptures created during Benedetto da Maiano’s time. It also served as an important site for people like Galilei, Foscolo, and even Michelangelo, who are now buried there due to their relevance within Italian culture.
Enjoy an afternoon at leisure, with the option of visiting nearby Pisa (50 euros per person to be paid directly to the tour guide). Known, of course, for its famous Leaning Tower, Pisa achieved notoriety as one of Italy’s four 11th-century Maritime Republics and was the birthplace of physicist/astronomer Galileo. While in Pisa, we’ll take time to admire the Square of Miracles, where we’ll find the lovely Duomo, the quirky Leaning Tower, and many other notable sites.
The city of Pisa is located in central Italy on the banks of the Arno River. It was once a prominent seaport, but with time and buildup from river sediment, it became increasingly difficult for ships to access this area due west into the Ligurian Sea, which cut off any means by way of seafood trade between Europe/Mediterranean regions as well other goods. Also, when you are with us on your 5 day tour of Italy, we ensure you see everything worth experiencing.
Upon return to your hotel, settle in for an overnight stay.
After breakfast, you will depart Florence by a deluxe coach and head to Bologna.
Upon arrival, the charming city center, adorned with its iconic porticos, awaits your free time exploration. Begin your walking tour at Piazza Mal pighi, leading to the heart of the city at Piazza del Nettuno and Piazza Maggiore. Here, you can marvel at the historic Palazzo Podestà as well as the Basilica of San Petronio, the largest Gothic church in the world built with bricks.
We will then show you why Bologna is often hailed as Italy’s gastronomic capital as you delve into its vibrant street food scene, which is as rich and diverse as its culinary heritage. Meandering through the city’s medieval streets, you will encounter a delightful array of food stalls and markets, each offering a mouthwatering selection of both traditional and contemporary treats. As you explore the charming alleys and bustling piazzas, you will immerse yourself in a culinary adventure that goes beyond just a meal. With a street food light lunch experience at a local eatery offered by us, this is your chance to savor the authentic flavors and unique dishes that define Bologna’s renowned gastronomic identity.
Later in the afternoon, we continue our journey to Venice (Mestre). Upon arrival, check in at your hotel for a restful overnight stay.
Eat breakfast and then transfer by Vaporetto to St Mark Square. You’ll tour the square as well as an inside visit of St. Mark’s Cathedral, Doge’s Palace (outside), a symbol of the glory and authority of Venice, former residence of the Dukes, and seat of the government and the Court of Justice. Finally, we’ll cross the famous Bridge of Sighs, where prisoners will catch their last glimpse of Venice before being incarcerated in the attached prison.
After the walking tour, allow us to treat you to a spritz or a prosecco, as a delightful conclusion to your visit to the highlights of Venice, in the company of your tour leader. While you sit comfortably and savor your drink, you will also have the opportunity to enjoy a taste of the famous “cicchetti,” a Venetian variation of tapas (light lunch).
Enjoy an afternoon at leisure and the chance to visit numerous other Venetian sites such as Ca d’Oro – one of the city’s most magnificent palazzi, or the Basilica de Santa Maria Della Salute.
Breakfast and departure by motor coach from Piazzale Roma to the Chianti Region of Tuscany, known for its wines, and then on to Montepulciano, a Renaissance hill town renowned for its churches and palaces. A great place to explore on foot, Montepulciano is famous in Italy for its Vino Nobile, considered one of the best wines in the country and available in many locations throughout the town. Lunch in a typical restaurant.
Spend the afternoon discovering Montepulciano at your own pace. Use your free time to enjoy a glass or two or perhaps visit the 16th-century church of Santa Maria Delle Grazie.
Departure from Montepulciano to our ending destination, Rome.
Evening arrival in Rome and end of our services. Not ready to go home yet? Having too much fun exploring magnificent Italy? Your travel specialist will review all the options available to you at the end of the trip, including an ample opportunity to explore the country or the option of spending an extra night in Rome. Then, if you must go, you’ll head to the airport for your return home. Remember, we are always eager to help you create the travel experience you desire, so don’t hesitate to ask if you’d like to keep your travel options open!
