Italy Tours & Holidays

Tours and holidays to Italy offer a feast for the senses; flavours from one of the world’s best-loved cuisines; scents of mountain air and coastal breezes; warmth on your skin from the Mediterranean sun, and the sights and sounds of a country radiating history and charm at every corner.

Unsure of where to start? With a guided tour of Italy, you can sit back and relax, with all the planning done for you. Discover the stunning lakes and mountains of Northern Italy, in Lombardy, Trentino-Alto Adige and the Veneto, where the elegant resorts, sumptuous villas and fragrant gardens that fringe the shores of Lake Garda, Lake Como and Lake Maggiore provide the framework for a memorable Italian holiday. Combine this with a tour of great cities like Milan, Turin, Verona and Venice - tours of Italy don't get more enchanting than this. There is simply so much to see in this gorgeous country, that an Italy multi centre holiday might just be what you need.

Depending on the escorted tour of Italy that you choose, you could head south, into the plain of Emilia-Romagna, to find renowned centres of gastronomy like Modena and Bologna – ‘the Fat’ – and other small Italian cities, such as Mantova and Ferrara, bursting with colour and romance. Continue into Tuscany, the thrilling heart of Renaissance Italy, where jewels like Pisa, Lucca, Siena, San Gimignano and peerless Florence stud a landscape of rolling hills, cypress trees and vineyards. If you're after a holiday to Italy that combines art, history and world-class cuisine, this region is a must. 

No Italy tour would be complete without a visit to Rome. Perfectly positioned between the prosperous north and rustic south, Italy's capital is a highlight of any guided tour of Italy. Rome's 3,000-year history, reflected in its awe-inspiring ruins and monuments, combined with its irrepressible zest for la dolce vita ensures that the city ranks well against any on the world stage. Wander past ancient sights astonished by their preserved glory, shop in some of the world’s most stylish streets, throw coins in a fountain, dine wonderfully – and not always expensively – on dishes drawn from throughout the country, and simply sit and watch the Roman world go by with a book in hand.
