Railbookers operates this 9-day, 8-night rail journey through Italy, combining hotel stays in Venice, Rome and Florence with one night in a Deluxe class cabin aboard the La Dolce Vita Orient Express. Days in the cities are guided: small-group walking tours take in the Colosseum and Roman Forum in Rome, the Uffizi and Accademia Gallery in Florence, and the Doge's Palace and St Mark's Basilica in Venice, alongside a night food tour in Rome and a private sunset boat ride in Florence. The train carries travelers into Tuscany's wine country, arriving in Montalcino for time among the vineyards behind Brunello di Montalcino wine. With three multi-night hotel stays and all excursion meals included, this suits food-and-wine travelers and history lovers who want a guided, unhurried pace rather than a fast multi-city dash.
