Venezia, Firenze, Roma!

Three cities, eight days, and a sweep through Italian civilization that starts on the water and ends at the Colosseum — that's the shape of Venezia, Firenze, Roma. Your group arrives on Venice Lido, the barrier island that sits just across the lagoon from the city, and spends two full days taking in one of the most architecturally singular places on earth. From there the tour moves south through Tuscany into Florence before a final push to Rome, giving students a chance to feel how different — in texture, scale, and character — each Italian city actually is.
