Itinerary

Expand All

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!

What a brilliant trip, I opted for the 1 week group tour and then some solo travelling. The information provided pre trip and during was excellent. Our tour leader Kev was a brilliant lead and added to my super experience. Would highly recommend euroventure to anyone wanting to travel through Europe. Thanks

Group Tour Review

This trip absolutely exceeded every expectation I had on every level. The customer service from the time of booking and speaking to Alex on the phone, to being on the trip and the great customer service I received and the help I received navigating through the different countries and cities by Fede and Vera (Our Tour Leaders). Right through to the end of the trip and even beyond helping me navigated the train journey back to my home town. The price was fantastic for what you get and the hostels in general were better than I expected. They were clean, had entertainment, cheap drinks and food to accommodate us after a long travel day. In the first 2 weeks we had Fede as our Tour Leader and she was so much so and took us to the coolest places. In the second 2 weeks we had Vera who was lovely and extremely helpful and I’ve learned so much from on how to navigate the cities and trains. The group were so lovely and I’m so grateful to have been part of this group and experience l. I have met friends for life. Thanks so much Euroventure ❤️

Mediterranean Coastliner Group Tour Review

Just finished the Mediterranean coast line group tour and I honestly cannot recommend it enough. Seen some amazing places with great activities included and most importantly met amazing people. Our group leader teya was fantastic and became part of the group and a friend. She offered advice on extra activities, food, bars and joined when she could. She made everyone welcome and accommodate to everyone. The best way to solo travel or see Europe!

Group Tour Review

There really is not enough I can say about Euroventure and my trip that can justify how fun, interesting and (most unexpectedly) needed a trip like this was for me. Teya was the lead for our group (also shout out to Kev who helped kick things off) and she was absolutely incredible. She was a super fun and kind group lead and was also so wonderfully a part of our gang that it really made it like having a good friend tell you where to go for three weeks. Shout out to the bohemian tour group of 2022. Our group was awesome and I did not expect to make so many close friends who are already planning our next trip together. I’m from the US and a bit older, so this trip originally appealed to me because it’s not the “typical American euro trip” and that really paid off. Many people were early to mid twenties from UK and a few other European countries, but most of us had not been to most of the places on this trip and that was fun. Favorite place: Kotor, Montenegro. Beautiful bay and cool old town. Fun to hit the beach. I highly recommend you take this tour if you’re looking for something different and still tons of fun. Will do again, time permitting! The value is entirely worth it and I think that is understated until you realize all you get from a trip like this. Thanks EV!

Euroventure Review

Euroventure was amazing! A group of 7 of us went interrailing and we had the best time. The team at euro venture took care of every request/need we had. They replied quickly to any emails we sent regarding changes to the plan and we’re just so helpful through the entire process. Couldn’t recommend using euroventure enough!
