Roma, Firenze, Venezia: the Considered Classic
The classic Italian trio is requested for a reason. Our version keeps the icons but changes the terms of engagement: early access, private guides, and neighborhoods the standard tour never reaches.
Rail connects the three cities, so the journey itself is unhurried. It adapts easily to a leisure couple or a small corporate group.
Private transfer and an orientation walk through the quiet backstreets.
The Forum and Colosseum with a private guide, timed against the crowds.
Museums and the Sistine Chapel before public opening, with an art historian.
A day among Trastevere and the market squares, at a local pace.
A midday train north; an evening walk as the city empties.
The Uffizi and Accademia with a guide, arranged around the quiet hours.
Oltrarno workshops and a collection closed to general visitors.
A day out of the city: a villa, a vineyard, and a long lunch.
North again by rail, arriving to the city on the water.
A private boat through the quiet canals before the day-trippers arrive.
Beyond Murano and Burano to the working corners of the lagoon.
A final Venetian morning and private transfer for departure.
