The Fantastic Italian trio: Rome, Florence & Venice

Partly guided 7-day rail trip through Rome, Florence and Venice

Authentic Europe runs this 7-day, 6-night rail trip through three of Italy's best-known cities: Rome, Florence and Venice. The trip starts in Rome, where the first two days are unguided so you can explore at your own pace, then continues by high-speed train to Florence on day 3. Florence includes a 3-hour guided walking tour along with another day free to explore, before the trip continues by train to Venice on day 5. In Venice, a half-day guided walking tour introduces the city, with the rest of that day and the departure day left open. Because guided time is limited to the two city walking tours, this suits travelers who want some orientation in each place but also prefer to set their own pace rather than follow a group the whole way. The operator's broader description also references visits to the Vatican and the islands of Murano and Burano, so it is worth confirming exactly what is included with Authentic Europe directly.

Price history

Across 5 checks, this price has fallen €155 since 4 Jul, to €1,090.

Each point is a day we checked this operator's own page, not a weekly average, and the line holds flat between checks rather than guessing at movement we did not see. 2 of 5 points are a live read of the operator's page. Hollow points are values shown when the trip was first listed here and never confirmed with the operator.

One reading is held out of the price above and this history: an unconfirmed large change. We only price on the operator's package from-price, read from its own page.

What to know before you look closer

Authentic Europe calls this a 'partly guided' trip: the guided portions are a 3-hour walking tour in Florence and a half-day walking tour in Venice. Day 2 in Rome, day 4 in Florence, and the afternoon of day 6 in Venice are unguided time at leisure.
The general trip description also mentions a cicchetti (small-plates) and wine tasting walking tour and guided visits to the Vatican and the islands of Murano and Burano, but none of these appear in the itemized inclusions or the day-by-day itinerary. Confirm with Authentic Europe whether they are part of this exact package.
Tourist taxes are not included in the price and are paid locally.
No current departure dates are listed in the evidence available to us; confirm availability with Authentic Europe.
