Guided 11-day Venice to Rome rail and coach tour of Italy

Illustration of Panorama Tour of Italy

Authentic Europe runs this 11-day, 10-night fully guided tour of Italy from Venice to Rome, with an English-speaking guide throughout and a group size of up to 24. After two nights in Venice, day 3 is a first-class high-speed train ride to Florence, where a full day in Tuscany includes lunch and wine tasting, plus a San Gimignano, Siena, and Chianti excursion. The tour then heads south via Naples to Sorrento for three nights, with a full-day excursion to Capri and a cruise and tour along the Amalfi Coast. Day 9 is another high-speed train, from Naples to Rome, followed by a city tour, and the trip closes with a day at leisure in Rome before departure. Door-to-door luggage service and private airport transfers in Venice and Rome are included throughout. This suits travelers who want Italy's major cities and coastline covered by a guide, without managing trains, transfers, or luggage themselves.
