Upon your arrival, whether it be via Florence or Rome airport, you’ll be whisked away to your hotel, setting the stage for an afternoon of exploration. Delight in a guided walking tour that showcases Florence’s iconic landmarks, from the majestic Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore with Brunelleschi’s revolutionary dome, to the ancient Baptistry and Giotto’s Bell Tower.

Sip on local wines and enjoy fresh regional delicacies aboard, surrounded by the stunning landscape of Italy’s rugged coastline.
The exploration continues on land, where you’ll delve deeper into the villages of Riomaggiore and Monterosso. Engage in a hands-on cooking class to master the art of making Pesto, a regional specialty, followed by a delightful wine tasting session in a local vineyard, where the steeply terraced hills make vine-growing a labor of love and resilience.
Conclude your Italian escapade with a transfer to Milan, Italy’s fashion and design capital. Discover the grandeur of Milan through its historic and modern landmarks. Ascend to the rooftop of the imposing Duomo for panoramic city views, stroll through the opulent Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, and pass by the legendary La Scala theatre.
Your journey culminates with a private transfer to Milan Malpensa airport, leaving you with memories of Italy’s stunning landscapes, rich history, and vibrant culture, all wrapped up in the warm, inviting embrace of Italian hospitality. This tour not only promises visual and sensory delights but also offers a deep connection with the places and traditions that make Italy a cherished destination worldwide.
