Italy holidays & tours
Once the hub of the Roman Empire, Italy boasts more historic big-hitters than anywhere in Europe. As if to prove it, its list of UNESCO World Heritage sites is 47 strong: the longest in the world. And what makes Italy holidays even more rewarding is that many of its momentous sights are entangled up in modern city life, giving them an extraordinary added presence.
We’ve selected our range of Italy tours to cover every region, scenic wonder and historic nook and cranny of this enthralling country. From the iconic monuments of the Rome, to the undulating hills of Tuscany, from the art of Florence to the northern Lakes, we’re sure to offer an Italy tour or Italy holiday that strikes the perfect note.
Highlights of our Italy holidays
View the world-famous landmarks of the ‘Eternal City’ of Rome, imagining the roar of spectators in the Colosseum, gasping at Michelangelo’s Sistine Chapel ceiling in the Vatican City, or tossing a coin into the Trevi Fountain. Stroll the piazzas of Florence, admire the exquisite Bridge of Sighs in Venice and stand in the shadow of Milan’s incredible striped-marble Duomo. If you’ve ever wanted to discover Italy’s greatest works of art, our Italy tours give you countless opportunities to do so.
Yet our tours of Italy aren’t all about its cities. Step back in time to 79 AD in Pompeii, coming face-to-face with the casts of people killed by Vesuvius’ eruption. Enjoy the colourful cliffside towns of the spectacular Amalfi Coast and drive through the sumptuous Chianti region, sampling some tipples en-route. Other standouts on our escorted tours of Italy include its sparkling Lakes, from Como and Garda to Lake Maggiore, and the pink-grey gem of Assisi, with its breathtaking basilica. Add the snow-tipped Dolomites, glamorous Capri, Etna-topped Sicily and Tuscany’s picturebook hill towns and our tours in Italy leave no stone unturned.
What’s more, we do holidays in Italy every which way. Enjoy rail tours of Italy that take you deep into the Dolomites on classic Alpine trains. Board a Mediterranean cruise that visits Rome, Florence, Venice or Genoa as well as cities such as Barcelona, Dubrovnik, Marseille and Tunis. Or take a pan-European tour, exploring Austria, Switzerland, Spain, France or Germany before or after your Italy tour – just let your heart lead the way.
