The first three days of the tour will be spent at leisure in Rome. You will soon discover the Vatican with its Sistine chapel and the famous ceiling paintings by Michelangelo.
Then the Colosseum, which could once be, flooded for sea battles enactments. Visits to the Trevi Fountains and Rome’s famous shopping street of Via Veneto will quickly exhaust your time.
Then on the third day transfer independently to the railway station in the city centre for your afternoon departure to Florence.

Your time will be taken up on your visit to the Uffizi Museum, the amazing Palazzo Vecchio with its giant statues and town hall. The arts museum, The Uffizi, is but a few steps away, whilst a stroll across the Ponte Vecchia with its expensive shops over the river Arno brings you to riverside restaurants with some of the best views of the city.
The following day a “must-see” is the Bargello Museum. This magnificent museum of sculpture is housed in this 13th century Palace and at one time was the main police station from which executions took place until the 18th century. Also try to fit in a visit to the Palazzo Pitti - the largest of the city-galleries containing traditional and modern paintings, a museum and has huge gardens with lakes, which overlook the city.
2 Nights in VENICE
Independent transfers to the main termini rail station to take the train to Venice and stay 2 nights in this city of canals, gondolas and churches.
You can also visit the lido area, the islands in the bay and enjoy a very expensive coffee in St Mark’s square or maybe something easier on the pocket in the side streets that lead to the square.
