What our customers ask about Fully Guided Tours from Rome to Venice
What are the most popular stops between Rome and Venice?
Most tours stop in Florence, Pisa, Siena, and Bologna on their way from Rome to Venice. 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.
What kind of hotels can I expect on Rome to Venice tours?
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.
How long do cultural tours from Rome to Venice usually take?
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. Summer (June-August) gets quite hot, often reaching 85-90°F (29-32°C), and major sites can be really crowded. Winter brings Christmas markets and quiet museums, though some attractions might have shorter hours. One TourRadar traveler recommended: "We went in September and had perfect weather plus smaller crowds at places like the Vatican Museums."
What meals come with Rome to Venice tours?
Your tour typically includes a daily breakfast buffet at your hotel, plus several dinners at local restaurants. Many tours start with a welcome dinner in Rome's Trastevere neighborhood and end with a special meal on Venice's Burano island. The Treasures of Italy tour, for example, includes 10 breakfasts and 5 dinners with wine. One TourRadar traveler shared: "The included meals were fantastic, especially the welcome dinner in Rome where we tried authentic Roman cuisine."
