Escorted 7-day rail tour through Rome, Milan, and Paris

Illustration of Rome, Milan, and Paris

Railbookers runs this 7-day, 6-night escorted rail tour from Rome to Paris, spending two nights in each of three cities: Rome, Milan, and Paris. The trip opens with a two-night stay in Rome, where a guided walking tour visits the Colosseum's underground arena floor and the Roman Forum, alongside free time with a 48-hour hop-on, hop-off bus ticket. A train then carries travelers north to Milan for a guided sightseeing tour that takes in the Sforza Castle, the Duomo Cathedral, and the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, ending at La Scala Theatre. From Milan, another train continues to Paris, where the tour includes priority, skip-the-line entrance to the Eiffel Tower's summit with an audio guide. Because several days rely on the hop-on, hop-off ticket rather than a guide, this suits travelers who want some structured sightseeing paired with time to explore independently, rather than a fully escorted schedule.
