Day 1 Rome

Today you begin your journey by boarding your international outbound flight to Rome. Upon arrival in Rome, you'll be met and transferred by private car to your hotel in the heart of the city. After settling in, you will have the opportunity to get your bearings in Rome with a privately guided tour of the city. This walking and driving tour of the city will include key sites such as the Piazza del Popolo, Piazza Navona and the Trevi Fountain.

Day 2 Rome

Explore the secrets of Ancient Rome today on a privately guided visit to the Colosseum and Roman Forum. These ancient structures offer an intriguing glimpse into the city's multifaceted past and are not to be missed. The tour will end in the heart of the city and you will then have the rest of the afternoon to explore on your own.

Day 3 Rome

Today you will have a private tour of the Vatican Museums, Sistine Chapel and St. Peter's Basilica learning about the incredible artwork held within the world's smallest city state. Following the tour, you will have the rest of the day to spend some time exploring Rome. If you have not already done so, we recommend visiting the charming lanes of Trastevere to soak up the atmosphere and enjoy a tasty dinner.

Day 4 Florence

This morning your driver will take you to the train station for your premium class train journey to Florence, which will take around an hour and a half. Upon arrival, you will be met by a private driver and escorted to your hotel in the heart of the city. You will then have a free afternoon to explore. We particularly recommend heading to the Duomo where you can climb both the bell tower and dome for spectacular views of the city.
