Itinerary

  1. Day 1

    Rome

    Start your week in Rome with the day to yourself. Walk around and check out the city's iconic sights at your own pace, whether that's wandering through neighborhoods or hitting the main attractions. This evening you'll meet up with your travel group at your accommodation, and everyone will gather to chat about the week ahead and get to know each other.

  2. Day 2

    Rome to Pisa to Florence

    Head out early to Pisa and get your photo with the Leaning Tower, then continue on to Florence for the rest of the day. Walk along the River Arno and see the Duomo Cathedral. You'll have tomorrow to dig deeper into the city, so this is just your first taste of what Florence has to offer.

There's also an option to sign up for a class on making authentic Florentine pizza if that interests you.

Get recounts of history and general knowledge was impressive and I really felt like I was traveling with a local in every city cos she just knew where everything was and what it was about.
