From ancient ruins to Renaissance art, sun-soaked vineyards to gondola-filled canals, Italy is a land where history, culture, and beauty intertwine.

Starting in Rome, the Eternal City, you’ll walk in the footsteps of emperors and artists, before heading north through rolling Tuscan hills and Renaissance Florence. Along the way, you’ll sip Chianti in a local vineyard, admire the cliffside villages of Cinque Terre, and marvel at medieval towns that seem frozen in time.

The adventure ends in Venice, where winding canals, romantic gondola rides, and the delicate art of Murano glass await. Hosted by Jeni from Let’s Go! and supported by expert local guides, this journey is the perfect mix of culture, history, food, and fun – an Italian dream brought to life.
