Is Italy at the top of your “bucket list?” This sightseeing tour is planned for a first-time visitor to Italy… and Spike will lead the tour! You’ll be transported through time as you explore ancient Roman ruins, medieval streets, and Renaissance art in cities like Rome, Florence, and Venice, while indulging in the rich flavors of authentic Italian cuisine in Siena and experiencing the warm hospitality of the locals. You’ll visit the rolling hills of Tuscany (including lunch at a farmhouse winery), the medieval walled city of San Gimignano, the picturesque winding alleys and canals of Venice… all of these diverse landscapes offering a sensory journey through history, culture, and the breathtaking beauty that defines authentic Italy.
2025 is a Jubilee Year for those of Catholic faith and our trip includes a private guided tour of The Vatican!
Did I mention the food? You’ll eat well! Few countries have mastered the fresh seasonal culinary craft that changes with each region we visit. We’ll visit colorful markets, family-run pizzerias, seaside trattorias, and maybe even do a little cooking ourselves!
With a group size of 13 people, you get an up close and personal tour. This trip is perfect for solo travelers, couples, family and friends. (In fact, two people save $ by sharing a room!) Not designed specifically for photographers but you’ll come home with some amazing pictures and stories!
