What people love about Fully Guided Tours from Rome to Venice
- Mamma Mia! - 13 Days/12 Nights
Take the trip! We look our two adult children with us and this was a trip of a lifetime for us all! Worth every single penny! The memories are priceless and they are still talking about it two years later. If you want to take the vacation without worrying about figuring out transportation and lodging in a foreign country...this is the trip for you! Though not always exactly what we expected, the nuances were part of the charm. Like I said...TAKE THE TRIP!!!!! You won’t regret it!
- Best of Italy (13 destinations)
The tour itself was a bit ambitious - not enough time in many places (Rome and Florence for example). On the other hand, I did get to see towns/ cities I would not otherwise have seen. The pace was good. The introductory walks in each new destination were excellent. The accommodation was much better than I expected! One suggestion: forget la Spezia. Try to organize accommodation in one of the cinque terre villages or Portovenere. There was really nothing in la Spezia, and it’s only used as a gateway to cinque terre. It’s a bit of a yawn! Yuri was a terrific tour leader. He was engaging and enthusiastic. There were lots of physical activities but no pressure to join in if someone wanted to do something else. Yuri’s knowledge of each place we went was so welcomed. He was fun, understanding, helpful. He went out of his way to assist me when I encountered a couple of unexpected difficulties. I couldn’t have asked for a better tour leader.
- Easy Pace Italy (Classic, Summer)
Well the first thing I need to add is Easy Paced is a misnomer. You need to be in pretty good shape to keep up, especially if you do all the side trips.It is a hectic pace to say the least, but we had a blast. The side tours were excellent and the local experts were fantastic. they were very knowledgeable and funny and really added some local color. Our tour guide Brad McEuen was just great. A font of knowledge, kept everything interesting and kept you moving. He had a lot of great tips on how to manage the local foibles. He was on top of everything. the rooms were tolerable but a little less than we expected, except the Hilton in Venice, that was a beautiful place. But nothing was that bad, the beds were decent and it was nice having American/European style breakfasts included.The side trips were the highlight for me. Now the food was less impressive. The provided dinners ranged from OK to lousy. The food in general wasn't that impressive.Very repetitive but the pasta and pizza were consistently good.Forget the meat and fish dishes, everything was overcooked and tough IMHO. We did try out of the way places with the same result, but we weren't willing to spend 300 Euros on a meal. All in all we were very happy did the trip and the company Insight took care of everything which eliminated a lot of stress. I would recommend them to most people that are looking to see a lot but not be on their own all the time.

You'll also find tours that include visits to smaller towns like Montepulciano, San Gimignano, and the colorful coastal villages of Cinque Terre. If you're interested in mountain views, some tours include stays at places like Hotel Ancora in Cortina d'Ampezzo, where you can see the Dolomites right from your window. In Florence, many travelers stay at hotels like the Grand Mediterraneo, which has great views of the old city.

You'll find hotels ranging from comfortable 3-star to luxurious 5-star properties, depending on your tour package. In Venice, you might stay at the Hilton Molino Stucky on Giudecca Island or the LH Sirio Venice. When in Rome, many tours book guests at places like the Veneto Palace Hotel near Villa Borghese, which puts you right in the heart of the city and close to main sights.
What special activities are included between Rome and Venice?
You'll get to try hands-on activities that really connect you with Italian culture. This includes cooking classes in Tuscany where you'll learn to make pasta from scratch, wine tasting in the Chianti region, and watching master craftsmen create Venetian glass. Many tours take you to Il Poggio organic farm, where you can learn about olive oil and wine making, followed by meals made with ingredients from the farm.

Most cultural tours last between 4 and 11 days, with many people choosing 7-10 day trips. If you're short on time, the Beautiful Italy tour takes 5 days, while longer options like the Treasures of Italy give you 11 days to explore. One TourRadar traveler noted about the 7-day Cosmos tour: "This was a great way for first-time travelers to see Italy and get a taste for where we will go back and spend more time someday."
When is the best time to visit Rome and Venice?
Spring (April-May) and fall (September-October) are ideal, with comfortable temperatures around 65-75°F (18-24°C) and fewer tourists.
