Rome, Florence, Venice, Siena & Sardinia

Our Italian program is a superb combination of the excitement and bright lights of the Eternal City; the art, beauty, and culture of Tuscany; and the stunning beaches and mountains of the island of Sardinia.

The first half of our program will be spent in the enchanting medieval town of Siena. Here we will witness the annual Palio, a dramatic horse race that ends in night-long celebrations. We will visit the stunning Duomo and other local historic sites. From Siena we will also embark on exciting day trips to both Florence and Venice.

Then we will travel to Sardinia, a coastal island that offers both mountains and beaches unrivalled in Europe.

The second half of our program will be spent in Rome, where an abundance of history, architecture, and culture is visible on every street corner. We will visit the Church of Trinita dei Monti, the Spanish Steps, the Colosseum, the Forum, and the Vatican.
