7 Days in Italy, incl. Rome and Venice
Five iconic Italian cities reveal their treasures, from Rome's Vatican Museums and Colosseum to Venice's glassblowing workshops. Fast-track access to major sites, dining at a 15th-century Tuscan estate, and UNESCO landmarks like Pisa's Leaning Tower included. Luxury coach transport and expert local guides at approx. $380 per day.
- Days 1-2
Rome
Start in Rome when the main sites are quietest. Visit the Vatican Museums early (aim for 8:00 AM) to see the Sistine Chapel before the crowds pour in. After lunch visit the Colosseum and Roman Forum with afternoon tickets to avoid the midday sun. In the evening walk with locals during passeggiata around the Trevi Fountain and Spanish Steps when the lighting is stunning.
- Days 3-4
Venice
Take the high-speed train from Rome to Venice (3.5 hours). Book seats on the right side for the best views. Start your Venice visit with an early morning walk through quiet backstreets before the day-trip crowds arrive. Visit St. Mark's Basilica right when it opens at 9:45 AM. The lines get very long by 11:00 AM. Visit Murano island's glassblowing workshops in the afternoon when they're less busy.
- Day 5
Verona & Pisa
Visit romantic Verona to see Juliet's House and the Roman Arena. Head to Pisa next and arrive around 3:00 PM when tour groups start leaving and the light is perfect for Leaning Tower photos. A recent visitor noted: "Skip the crowded central restaurants—we found an excellent local place just two blocks behind the Tower entrance."
- Day 6
Florence
Give Florence a full day. Start at the Duomo before 8:30 AM to climb without crowds. Book Uffizi Gallery tickets at least a month ahead or you might wait 2+ hours. End your day in the local-favorite Oltrarno neighborhood for dinner.
- Day 7
Return to Rome
Take a morning train to Rome (1.5 hours) for your flight home. Book afternoon flights since Rome morning traffic can be unpredictable on the way to Fiumicino Airport.
7 Day Amalfi Coast Itinerary, incl. Sorrento and Capri
The Amalfi region reveals itself across 5 destinations: Naples, Pompeii, Sorrento, Positano, and Capri. UNESCO Pompeii ruins, Path of Gods hike, and Capri island excursion highlight the tour. Five nights at a family-run lemon farm provide authentic experiences.
- Day 1
Naples Arrival & Orientation
Plan to arrive in Naples before 3pm to make the best use of your first day. The city's traffic can be difficult to navigate so it's smart to arrange a private transfer from the airport. One traveler suggests: "Skip the market in Naples and head straight to the charming local streets near the historic center - much more authentic atmosphere."
- Day 2
Naples to Sorrento via Pompeii
Leave early for Pompeii which is about an hour away. Spend 2-3 hours exploring the archaeological site. You'll find smaller crowds and cooler temperatures in the morning. A verified traveler shares: "Our Pompeii guide was amazing and well worth the stop. The details about daily Roman life really brought the ruins to life." After Pompeii head to Sorrento and check into your agriturismo which is usually about 15 minutes uphill from the town center.
- Day 3
Sorrento & Lemon Farm Experience
Start your day touring the lemon groves and learning about limoncello production. One guest noted: "Luigi's limoncello demonstration was a highlight - so fun and informative." In the afternoon try your hand at making pizza with local ingredients. Your agriturismo's hillside location offers beautiful bay views but remember it's a steep walk into town. Budget €15-20 for taxis each way.
- Day 4
Path of the Gods Hike
Start the famous "Path of the Gods" trail early before it gets too hot. The full hike takes 5-6 hours and you'll need good walking shoes. Some sections have steep drops but the views make it worthwhile. When you reach Positano take the scenic boat ride back to Sorrento which takes 1-2 hours depending on stops. A recent hiker suggests: "Bring plenty of water and sun protection - there's little shade on the trail."
- Day 5
Free Day in Sorrento
Take time to explore Sorrento. Begin at Piazza Tasso to experience local life then walk to Marina Grande for fresh seafood lunch. Visit the Correale Museum for €7 to enjoy its garden views. A helpful tip from a traveler: "The Basilica di Sant'Antonino is free and less crowded in the afternoon - don't miss the ancient silver votives."
- Day 6
Capri Day Trip
Take an hour-long ferry ride to Capri in the morning. One visitor advises: "Skip the Blue Grotto in high season and instead take the chairlift to Monte Solaro for amazing views." Explore the scenic Via Camerelle and visit Villa Jovis for €4. The last ferry usually returns to Sorrento around 6pm.
- Day 7
Departure
Allow 90 minutes to get back to Naples by car. Book afternoon flights to avoid morning traffic. If you're traveling to other parts of Italy direct trains run from Naples to Rome (1 hour) and Florence (3 hours).

What people love about 7-day Italy tours
- Italian Holiday
It was a fantastic trip that was well planned out and put together. It was fast paced so be ready for constantly being on the go, but it was well thought out and the places we saw were incredible. I would say the only drawback was that the food wasn't the best for the first few dinners. Later in the trip, the food was awesome. Also, it's so fast paced that you'd better be ready to get up super early and constantly be moving from place to place. The bus was a bit slow for this fast paced tour but I'm grateful I saw the epic sites in Italy.
The location was just exquisite. The people who ran the lemon farm and hosted us were just so warm and wonderful. Our little group bonded quickly with the help of our guide Anna.

The portion of the trip starting from Naples and staying in Sorrento was a truly special experience. There were only 8 of us in the group and we all became very close. I am so glad I got Giovanni as a guide because, in addition to being incredibly informative, he was truly part of the group and we all had an absolute blast together! Something to know about the Italy Must-See tour is that the portion starting in Naples and the Florence portion are completely different tours that the company connects for you. Italy on a Budget Tours was fantastic regarding getting me my train ticket and taking care of all the logistical stuff regarding travel and making a personal itinerary for each client. Their customer service is also fantastic, with a live chat through Whatsapp to answer any questions you have. However, I was under the impression that I would be with the same people for 7 days. Rather, I learned when my trip started that everyone else was only doing the 3 nights of the trip and I was the only one going to Florence. I was initially worried that I had met up with the wrong group because of this. I would personally suggest doing the trip that meets in Naples and staying in Southern Italy for a few more nights, then doing your own tour of Florence if you so choose. The tours in Florence are different in the sense that they are more a series of day trips with different people who have booked that trip for the day than it is traveling with one group of people. This made the experience feel a bit less social, especially since there were about 40 people on the trip to Tuscany. Additionally, the Pisa/Cinque Terre trip was far too rushed. I personally did not go to Pisa with the group and went straight to Cinque Terre and met up with the group there, which gave me a bit more time in one of the towns. However, Cinque Terre is incredibly crowded and the trains are frequently delayed. This in addition to having 3 towns on the agenda made for a day of public transport more than seeing the towns. I would personally have been happier with 3-4 hours in one of the Cinque Terre towns and really gotten time to swim and eat than get half an hour to get halfway down a street. Overall, the company was incredibly accommodating and truly took care of absolutely everything, which was great. I do feel that, had I known that the 3-night Florence tour was a string of separate day trips, I would have gone on my own and booked day trips myself.
