Italy holidays & tours

Italy is unique: Medieval and Renaissance art, sunlight on honey-coloured stone, irresistible food, classical ruins and exclusive boutiques. Our Italy tours encompass it all. Take an escorted tour to Italy’s great cities: Rome, with its iconic Coliseum and St Peter’s Basilica; Florence with its sublime galleries, and magical Venice, the city on water.

Our escorted tours of Italy also include the magnificent Italian Lakes - Garda, Como and Maggiore - with their dramatic scenery, picturesque towns and old-world charm. You can also explore the beautiful hilltop towns of Tuscany with our tours of Italy, and the jewels of the spectacular Amalfi coast: Sorrento, Positano and Capri.
