Illustration of La Dolce Vita Orient Express - Venice and Tuscany

Railbookers operates this 6-day, 5-night rail trip beginning and ending in Rome, with two nights in a Deluxe class cabin aboard the La Dolce Vita Orient Express at its center. The first two days are spent seeing Rome on foot, with a guided tour of the Colosseum and Roman Forum. The train then departs late afternoon from Rome Ostiense, with dinner in the Restaurant Car presented by 3-Michelin-starred chef Heinz Beck, followed by cocktails and live music. The following morning brings private tours and a canal boat excursion in Venice, then a return to the train for a Le Grand Soir dinner, again by Chef Heinz Beck. Early the next morning the train reaches Siena for a guided walk through its cobblestone streets and a typical Tuscan lunch, before an afternoon return to Rome with an Italian aperitivo en route. This suits travelers who want a short, food-focused introduction to Italy's rail luxury.
