Family Trip Through Italy

Everyone is more or less familiar with Italian culture, from watching movies, learning about the Roman Empire, or simply eating pizza. But not until you arrive in the country do you realize that everything you thought you knew is really just the tip of an enormous iceberg. Every region—every town even—has a unique personality, so no matter how many times you visit Italy, you’re always left with the craving for more.

Day 1: Benvenuti in Italia!

With an uncanny sense of foresight, Rome was first called the Eternal City 2,000 years ago. Even by today’s standards, it’s still grand in a way that few other places can compare to. The buildings are dilapidated and the roads disheveled, but chaos has never looked so exquisite. The cobblestone streets may be nonsensical, but a wrong turn always leads to an unexpected delight: an intimate piazza, a baroque fountain, or a homey trattoria serving house-made cacio e pepe.

Private Transfer

Your private English speaking driver will greet you at the arrivals hall of the airport and transfer you to your hotel in a luxury vehicle.

Rome Street Food Tour

Start off your time in Rome the right way, by enjoying an authentic taste of Roman cuisine with a local gastronomic expert. The destination of this tour? The winding cobbles of Trastevere, one of the gastronomic hotspots of the Eternal City. You will sample the city’s most sumptuous offerings, such as supplì, trapizzino, cheese and meat cuts and more. At the end of this experience, you will enjoy a lingering sit-down pasta-dinner at one of the Eternal City’s most beloved restaurants.

Day 3: Rome Underground
💀
Descend Into Catacombs

Journey down the Appian Way, the oldest and most legendary Roman road. Driving down it is a sensory treat: towering burial monuments stand alongside modest inscriptions, documenting the lives of those who lived two millennia ago. But it’s what runs beneath and alongside the Appian Way that attracts the most attention: the early Christian catacombs of San Sebastiano, San Callisto, and Domitilla. Descend into the depths of one of these catacombs, touring their vast network of tunnels and discovering the secrets of underground Rome. To finish, choose the optional extra of visiting the monumental Baths of Caracalla situated towards the beginning of the Appian Way.

Day 4: Rome -> Florence

In many ways, visiting Florence today feels like a trip directly into the Renaissance. The energy that inspired the likes of great artists is still palpable, from the grandiose pink and green facade of the Duomo to an unembellished plate of Florentine steak with potatoes. It’s easy to get engrossed by the art and shopping in the historic center, but walk across the Ponte Vecchio to find Florence’s most authentic osterias and enotecas on the left bank of the river.

Then you will enter one of Florence's main galleries, the Accademia, gaining expert insight to the city's cultural history and admiring Michelangelo's masterpiece: David.

Day 6: Florence -> Venice

Visit Venice the right way and you can’t help but fall in love. The majesty of San Marco Square and the Rialto Bridge is drowned out by the crowds and tacky souvenir shops, but a more authentic and mysterious Venice is just outside of the tourist center. Put down your phone’s map and wander the labyrinthine alleyways, discovering the neighborhoods still lived in by locals with their artisan shops, low-key cicchetti bars, and cozy restaurants overlooking the canals

Become a Gondolier

There's nothing iconic than a gondola ride through the canals of Venice. Take to the water in your private vessel with one of Venice's famously charming gondoliers. But instead of just being a passenger, take hold of the oar!

After a quick safety briefing from your private instructor, you will board a stabilized, learner’s gondola - specially designed so no one can fall in the water! After familiarising yourself with the rowing techniques within the safety of a small port, you will take a trip down the smaller canals of Venice, just like any real gondolier. Passing beneath bridges and through canals before returning to shore for an aperitivo.

Day 9: Venice -> Amalfi Coast

While most of Italy is about sightseeing, there’s nothing to visit per se on the Amalfi Coast. Instead of lavish churches and ancient monuments, the rugged coastline is the sight, best enjoyed from a hilltop al fresco restaurant, the bow of a yacht, or inside your car while navigating one of the world’s most scenic drives. Amalfi is a luxurious destination with a humble past, where glitzy villas still intermingle with sleepy fishing villages and bucolic lemon orchards.
