The best train tours in Italy
30 trips in Italy had enough verified data to score. The ranking below is fully mechanical; here is exactly how it works:
- Rail share (35%): the percent of the trip actually on trains, from the itinerary.
- Value (20%): price per day against the other trips on this page (cheaper per day scores higher).
- Data completeness (25%): full day-by-day itinerary, imagery, inclusions, and verified price.
- Departure breadth (20%): how many months the operator publishes departures for.
