One honeymoon date we can't miss! A day tour of Ancient Rome! An exciting journey through history and its legends, stories and anecdotes. With our guide we will begin at the Colosseum and the Arch of Constantine, then take a leisurely stroll through the Roman Forum and the Imperial Fori to the Capitol Hill, ending up at the Pantheon, Hadrian's temple dedicated to all the pagan gods. What a great day!

After a romantic honeymoon dinner, we'll experience Rome by night! We will stroll to the unforgettable Trevi Fountain, then on to the Roman Pantheon built in 27 BC to sample the most praised ice cream in Italy. Next, we will have a nightcap at the Piazza Navona, considered the most beautiful square in Rome with its 3 Bernini fountains. We can't wait!

Our romantic honeymoon destination, Venice, is the place for romantic rendezvous since 1720! We’ll enjoy a breezy nightcap in the shadows of San Marco and listen to the dueling café orchestras set the mood to the peaceful Venetian vibe!

On a glass bottom kayak we will see the multicolored coral, the incredible marine life and enjoy the beauty of the underwater world at our beautiful destination, without even getting wet!

On our romantic Italian honeymoon, we'll embrace Venice's rich history on this guided walk around St. Mark's Square! Afterwards we will tour some of the city's most famous historical landmarks including the gold-dotted St. Mark's Basilica, the Gothic Ducale Palace and the breathtaking Bridge of Sighs.

On this honeymoon trip we'll visit the charming hill town of Tivoli, less than an hour from the hustle and bustle of Rome, wander around Villa Adriana, a sprawling estate that includes theatres, baths, temples, fountains, and palaces before heading to Villa d'Este, renowned for its spectacular gardens, elaborate fountains and breathtaking views over the plain towards the Eternal City.

While honeymooning in Venice, we’ll need to pick up some local artwork to bring home as a souvenir! Artist Giovanni Moro’s hand-painted replicas of Venice’s historic buildings and churches in miniature are perfect to adorn the walls of our home for the many years to come!

With your wedding gift we will visit and see the natural and artistic beauty of the small medieval villages just outside Rome. Visiting Frascati, famous worldwide for its wine and sample the local product, viewing the scenery, the small villages and the wine there is so delicious! So much to see and enjoy on our honeymoon!

Together, we'll discover a collection of avant-garde art which maintains the city's rich legacy of intellectual and artistic freedom. We'll spend the morning with Kandinsky, Chagall, Pollack and Picasso, enhanced by a light lunch at The Museum Cafe overlooking the beautiful sculpture garden!

While honeymooning in Venice, we’ll relax on a romantic gondola ride along the Grand Canal, Venice’s largest waterway! We will be serenaded by live music as we wind through secret canals and enjoy the Venetian architecture. How romantic!

With your wedding gift we will explore three of Venice's most fascinating islands, Murano, Burano, and Torcello by boat. This romantic honeymoon guided tour takes us to Murano's ancient glass-making factories, Burano's centuries-old lace-making houses and Torcello's Byzantine churches.

On our walking tour we'll visit St. Peter's Basilica, the Vatican Museums, and the Sistine Chapel. The Vatican is one of the most interesting and breathtakingly beautiful sites in the world, with some very interesting stories, and our personal guide has all the scoop!

We would love to shop around for our favorite piece of art as a cherished keepsake from our once in a lifetime trip. This gift will adorn our home for many years to come!
