Venice, Florence & Rome

The Italian Holy Trinity by Train

DAY 1 FLIGHT TO VENICE

Your flight from London to Venice will take just over two hours, and upon arrival you will be privately transferred to your hotel, where you will stay for three nights. Enjoy some classic Italian fare for dinner before turning in for a good night’s sleep, ahead of your upcoming action-packed holiday.

DAY 2 VENICE

Today you will head out to follow the trail of legendary music sites across the city. The tour, which is led by a private guide, will take you around La Pieta church, the Ridotto Theatre and La Fenice opera house. Revealing five centuries of a rich and fascinating musical history, it’s an excellent cultural introduction to Venice.

DAY 3 VENICE

The secret passes of the Doge's Palace are on today’s agenda. You will be heading out on a group tour which illuminates the city's civil and political history, organisation and justice structures. From the courtyard of the Palace and the prison to the Ufficio del Cancelliere Grande, this comprehensive tour will provide you with a better understanding of the importance of the city's centre of power. For a spot of art, you can head out and see Venice through the eyes of a professional photographer or go on a tour of Murano and Burano islands, which specialise in glassware and lace respectively.

DAYS 4 & 5 VENICE - FLORENCE

Today you will be privately transferred to the station to catch a train to Florence, where you will then be privately transferred to your hotel for the next three nights. Your itinerary in Florence includes a priority pass to the Grande Museo del Duomo, which includes Florence Cathedral, Brunelleschi's Dome, Giotto's Bell Tower, the Baptistery of St. John, the Crypt of Santa Reparata and the Museum of Opera of Saint Maria of Fiore. Each of the monuments has retained the Florentine Gothic style, favouring horizontal lines and large spaces. Your tickets will allow you to skip the queues, so you won’t have to worry about tourist crowds.

DAY 6 FLORENCE

Today you will explore Pitti Palace and the treasures of this royal residence, with a private guide. Situated in Oltrarno and bordering the beautiful Boboli Gardens, the palace symbolises the power of the de Medici family. The Palatine Gallery is its real gem, which also houses one of the most remarkable collections of Italian paintings in Florence, with works by Lippi, Raphael, Titian, Caravaggio, Rubens, Murillo, Van Dyck and Canova.

Days 7 TO 9 FLORENCE - ROME

Today you will be privately transferred to the train station where you will catch a train to Rome, before being taken to your hotel for your final three nights. When in Rome, a tour of this ancient city is a must. Head out with a local guide to explore all the tourist hubs and hidden gems that Rome has to offer.

We can also include priority pass tickets to the Colosseum and Roman Forum. These ancient Roman treasures are located next to each other which is super handy for exploring at your leisure. Two millennia after its construction, the Colosseum continues to fascinate, fuelling both scientific literature and childlike fantasies. Next door, the Forum recounts the long political and religious history of Rome through its multiple layers. Once you are all historied out, you can indulge in some classic Roman cuisine at one of the city’s many world class trattorias.

DAY 10 ROME - RETURN FLIGHT

Your adventure through the trifecta of Italian cities sadly comes to an end today. You will be privately transferred to the airport for your return flight back to London.
