Catalog Tour

Venezia, Firenze, Roma!

Italy's three great cities each have their own rhythm, and eight days is just enough time to feel the difference. Venice Lido, Florence, and Rome sit at the heart of this small-group, language-immersion tour — which means your group moves through the peninsula with a Passports Tour Director on the ground every step of the way, whisper headsets in and all tips already covered, so the focus stays on Italy rather than logistics.
