We must see Michelangelo's sculpture of David while in Florence!

No trip to the Tuscany region of Italy would be complete without a guided tour through wine country! We'll visit a small family winery, very old winery and a very famous winery, as well as enjoy a romantic wine-paired lunch in a private villa.

The private tour starts from Bacino Orseolo located behind Piazza San Marco and continues along the smaller canals of astonishing beauty such as Rio dei Barcaroli, where Mozart’s house is located, and Rio dell’Ovo until it reaches the Grand Canal. From here, on the right we can see the magnificence of the Rialto Bridge and on the left important buildings such as Ca’ Farsetti, head office of the city hall, and Palazzo Grimani, the largest building overlooking the Grand Canal and head office of the Court of Appeal. The tour continues to Rio San Luca where we can see Palazzo Manin, residence of the last doge of Venice Ludovico Manin, now home to the Bank of Italy.

Unlock the secrets of Florence’s famous Duomo—an architectural marvel designed in the 15th century and the icon of the Renaissance city. Learn about the history of Brunelleschi’s red-roofed dome as you climb to its very top, stopping along the way to explore hidden terraces and chambers not open to the general public. Be rewarded by panoramic views of Florence. Skip-the-line admission includes a guided tour of the cathedral and crypt.

We'll visit what is considered to be one of the most important Italian museums, and the most visited. It is also one of the largest and best known in the world and holds a collection of priceless works, particularly from the period of the Italian Renaissance.

We will be in the very center of the city, just minutes from the monuments that make it the world’s most unique city. Each room is a walk through history in this thirteenth century mansion, the place where Dante Alighieri fell madly in love with his sweetheart Beatrice. We hope to stay in the Beatrice Suite to continue that love story.

We will conclude our honeymoon in the most romantic place possible - Venice! This hotel was named one of the 7 Most Romantic Hotels in Venice, so we're hoping to lay our heads here before setting out on our iconic canal cruise.

Our friends, Danielle & Jim Leary, say this is a must-try. So we must! We're so excited to experience the delicious flavors of Italy!

We will have a 9-hour layover (yes, by choice!) in Lisbon, Portugal, on our way to Florence. We'll watch the sun rise at Belem Tower, then explore the city on foot for a bit. By lunchtime, we'll surely be starving and want to treat ourselves at one of Lisbon's iconic restaurants before hopping onto our next flight to Italy!

Includes catering service with a wide choice of mouthwatering Italian products available. Onboard you'll find reclining leather seats with extra-wide armchairs, footrests and independent tables for your convenience. The train is equipped with additional facilities, such as a personal screen, individual power sockets, and free Wi-Fi access. Newspapers and magazines are also provided to read at your leisure. On this train, seats are arranged in three rows with the possibility to select a single seat. Seating for passengers with special needs is also made available. In addition to that, this type of ticket provides complimentary entry to the Lounge Italo Club.

We were fortunate enough to find very affordable flights to and from Italy, however you know what that means - no choosing your seats, no bags...think Spirit and Frontier meets Europe! With an upgrade we can sit together and check a bag!
