You'll visit three of Italy's iconic cities: Rome, Florence and Venice in seven days. You'll discover their ancient Roman influence, the iconic monuments, the art which oozes from their streets, the delicious food and meet friendly locals.

Accompanied by an expert local guide most days, you'll learn about the places you visit in a unique way: from the words of a local who has lived and breathed Italy for many years.
