Italy Tours & Vacation Packages

Italy is one of the few countries here with routes that stay inside it. Itineraries from Rome cover Florence and Venice, or head south to Pompeii, Naples, the Amalfi Coast and Matera. Multi-country routes place Italy alongside France and Switzerland, reaching Milan, Pisa and Vatican City, with the longest running as far as Prague and Amsterdam. Day tours in Rome, Florence and Milan work on their own.

What You'll See in Italy

Rome anchors most routes, with the Colosseum, the Roman Forum and the Pantheon within walking distance of each other, and Vatican City — a separate state — reached on foot from the rest of the city. Venice has no road traffic, so crossing it means bridges and steps. Milan and Verona sit on northern routes toward Switzerland and Austria.

Italy Travel Guide

Where do Italian routes start?

Rome carries by far the widest choice, covering routes that stay in Italy, routes that cross into France and Switzerland, and most of the day tours. Florence and Venice each start substantial numbers of their own, mainly day tours and shorter routes. Milan starts a smaller set running north and west. Many routes reach Italy without starting there, arriving from Paris, Frankfurt, Amsterdam or Budapest partway through a longer itinerary.

What are the day trips in Italy?

They fall into two kinds. Some are excursions out of the city — Florence runs tours into Chianti, Siena and the Cinque Terre. Others are single activities within one city: gallery visits, cooking classes, wine tastings and city tours in Rome, Florence and Milan. Both run independently of the multi-day routes, which makes them a way to fill a day before a route starts or after it finishes. Each is booked separately.

How many days do you need in Italy?

It depends on how much of the country you want. A week covers the classic triangle of Rome, Florence and Venice at a steady pace. Ten to twelve days adds either the south — Naples, Pompeii and the Amalfi Coast — or a crossing into France and Switzerland. Under a week works if you stay within one region rather than moving between them. Route lengths are listed on each tour page.

GOOD TO KNOW

Italy Tours - FAQ

  • What is included in the tour price?

    Coach transport, hotels and a guide are included on multi-day routes. Breakfast is included on many and is marked on the tour page. Admissions vary — some are included, some are paid locally, and some stops are exterior only. Day tours cover the activity itself. The full inclusion list appears on each tour page before you book.

  • Are meals included, and can vegetarian or Jain diets be arranged?

    Breakfast is included on many multi-day routes and marked on the tour page. Other meals are usually at your own arrangement. Tours marked Vegetarian-Friendly can arrange vegetarian meals at included stops. Jain requirements can usually be arranged at those stops with advance notice — contact us before booking so we can confirm for your route.

  • What languages are the tours run in?

    Most multi-day routes run in English, and many also run in Mandarin Chinese and Vietnamese. Day tours in Florence and Rome often add Spanish, Italian, French or German. The languages available are listed on each tour page, and they vary by departure date as well as by route, so check before booking.

  • How do I book and when do I pay?

    Book on the tour page using the tour code shown on each listing. Prices display in USD by default and can be switched to CAD, EUR, INR or RMB. Payment is taken at booking. After booking you receive a voucher, and its validity type — service date, seasonal or flexible — is shown on the tour page.

  • Is there a minimum number of passengers?

    Some day tours require a minimum of two passengers to run, and this is stated on the tour page. Multi-day routes have maximum group sizes rather than minimums — usually 55 on standard coaches and 12 on small-group departures. Group size is shown on each listing.

  • Can I change or cancel a booking?

    Cancellation and change terms are set per tour and shown on the tour page before you book. They differ between day tours and multi-day routes. For anything specific to an existing booking, call +1-617-500-7002 or use the Help Center.

What Travelers Say

We met at Piazza San Lorenzo at 9:50am and easily spotted the assistant in the yellow jacket. The chef took us through the market to pick seasonal ingredients, then we cooked a four-course meal at the school. Lunch came with Tuscan wine and a relaxed vibe.

—Carlos · Shopping at the Florence Central Market and Cooking Class & Lunch - Small Group

I took the morning slot for the Accademia tour and the guide's explanations were quite detailed. Seeing the original David was still impressive, though the one-hour visit felt a bit short and we went through things fairly quickly.

—Pascal · Accademia Gallery skip the line Guided Visit: the secrets of David - small group

I cooked a full four-course Tuscan meal with a professional chef in Florence's old center, using seasonal organic ingredients. Dinner afterward was what we made ourselves, with Tuscan wine. It felt quite rewarding.

—Jesus · Cooking Class with Dinner in the heart of Florence - Small Group

I took the cooking class in central Florence and made three types of fresh pasta with three sauces plus a dessert, all from seasonal organic ingredients. We ate what we cooked for dinner with Tuscan wine. I liked that the lesson doubled as my meal.

—John · Hand-made Pasta & Typical Dessert Cooking Class in the heart of Florence

Rome at night was beautiful with all the lights. We glided past the parliament building and Spanish Steps before stopping at the Trevi Fountain. The 2.5-hour tour felt well-paced, and with only 8 people in the group, the escort's audio guide was easy to follow.

—Kellie · Segway Night Tour of Rome

The 3.5-hour Segway tour covered the main sights across Rome's seven hills, from Palatine Hill to the Colosseum, which saved a lot of walking. We only viewed the monuments from the outside without entering, so admission tickets would be an extra cost if you wanted to go inside.

—Alex · 3.5-hour Ancient Rome Segway Tour

In just three hours on an e-bike, we covered Palatine Hill, Circus Maximus, the Arch of Constantine, and finished at the Colosseum. The route flowed well, and the electric assist made it easy even for someone like me who doesn't exercise much.

—Stephanie · 3-hour Ancient Rome E-Bike Tour

The 4-hour e-bike tour was just right for me. I didn't have to wear myself out walking, yet I still got to see the main sights like the Colosseum and the Pantheon. The electric assist made the hills feel easy, so it was less tiring than I expected.

—dominique · 4-hour Rome Highlights by E-Bike Tour

Covering Rome by Segway was much easier than walking. In 3.5 hours we saw Piazza del Popolo, the Trevi Fountain, and the Pantheon. The 30-minute training before departure helped me get the hang of it quickly, even as a first-timer.

—Nikki · 3.5-hour Rome City Segway Tour

The tour stopped at two organic wineries in the Chianti Classico area, each with tastings paired with local snacks. I enjoyed the ride along Via Chiantigiana through the hills and vineyards—it felt like the heart of Tuscany.
