What people love about Fully Guided Tours from Rome to Venice
- Best of Italy (13 destinations)
Micol was the best! Hope all other Intrepid tour leaders are like Micol. My wife and I enjoyed the tour so much. It was “The Best of Italy” indeed. We have learned so much of Italy so far. Micol was excellent in managing the tour. Micol was very informative and knowledgeable and has answered for every question we asked. It was hectic and very challenging at our age level but Micol was very accommodating and made things manageable. It saved us the hassle in coordinating the accommodation and transportation. Micol organized the option of getting together on lunches, dinners or tapas. It made the group more familiar of each other and comfortable.

Emma was my tour guide and she really made me feel safe. It was a lot to fit in a small amount of time but I really feel like I have seen a lot of Italy now

Only problem when called emergency number thinking we get help. I and another person got lost. They made it more frustrating thinking we will get help, we asked the company to give us our tour guide number so we can call her but they said it wasn't allowed. After this incident Abby show us the location then give us a map like she did in Rome. Other then that was a great tour.

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."

Your tour typically includes a daily breakfast buffet at your hotel, plus several dinners at local restaurants.
