Itinerary
Day 1 : The Start Of The Italy Group Tour!
Location: Rome
Kick-off the Italy group tour in one of the oldest capital cities in Europe - Roma! Meet your fellow travellers, and be sure to grab some traditional pizza and pasta at Rifugio Romano. If you fancy a few drinks and maybe a boogie, head to YellowBar.
Day 2 : Explore The Ancient City Of Rome
Location: Rome
To kick start your first full day in Rome, you'll be taken to your included activity - the Vatican Museums and Sistine Chapel. Get ready to soak up and marvel at the jaw-dropping art and history! You'll then have the rest of the day free. Don't miss the Colosseum and Roman Forum, these tickets sell out pretty quick, so make sure you book these in advance!
Day 3 : Next, Florence
Location: Florence
Next stop Florence- this city is the epicentre of art history (even some supermarkets hold treasured art pieces!). Your first day there could be spent exploring the gardens of Bobilli, or the Basilica of Santa Maria Novella, or simply strolling through the endless streets.
Day 4 : Fancy A Wine Tour?
Location: Florence
The included activity for Florence is a Chianti Wine Tour. The group will head out in the afternoon and spend a few hours there admiring the beautiful vineyard and green scenery. Return in the late evening and feel like an Italian wine conossiour! The rest of the time there is yours - we recommend watching the sunset from Piazzale Michelangelo, where there's usually some jazzy live music.
Day 5 : Explore The Gorgeous Venice
Location: Venice
Venice is hands-down the most romantic city in Italy! You can simply stroll around for hours, or sit outside with an Aperol Spritz just watching the Venetian life go by - the definition of 'Il Dolce far niente'.
Day 6 : Ciao, Italy!
Location: Venice
The next day will be the group activity - a dreamy gondola ride through to the grand canal. You'll then have some free time to explore the city - be sure to book a ticket to Scala Contarini del Bovolo to see some great views! Watch the sky turn from blue to yellow to a deep pink as the sun sets from the Rialto Bridge, then enjoy some delicious, local seafood from one of the many incredible restaurants. This is the last day of the Italy group tour, so have a proper send off at Anda's-hostel-turned-club!
