This journey ebbs like the eternal Tiber, offering a completely new set of surroundings and cultural experiences every other day.

Tour Pace: Perfect. As with all Insight Vacation’s Gold itineraries, the tours have been planned where possible, with two-night stays and later starts in the morning. In order to experience some of Italy’s more secluded wonders, you’ll embark on a variety of ferries, hydrofoil, trains, gondolas and boats in addition to the usual armchair coach comfort.

Hotels: Your superb traditional hotels are all excellently located retaining the classic elegance and grace of their respective settings but with a contemporary feel and friendly service. In the exclusive world of luxury hospitality the Grand Hotel Plaza enjoys one of the best city centre locations in Rome. An oasis of calm on its own private island, the sublime San Clemente Palace combines period atmosphere with modern amenities. The historic Grand Hotel Principe di Piemonte is a member of the Small Luxury Hotels of the World.
