Day 1 Rome
12:00 am - 11:59 pm

Rome

On arrival at Rome Fiumicino International Airport, make your own way to the hotel for check-in. Enjoy the remainder of the day at leisure. A 24-hour ticket for a double-decker tourist bus (with a multilingual audio guide) will be included, which can also be used for getting around the city. This is ideal for those who want to sightsee on their own to see the most famous symbols of Rome, such as the Colosseum, Piazza Navona, the Trevi Fountain, the Pantheon, and Spain Square. In case of an early arrival in Rome, we recommend heading on a guided tour of the Vatican Museum and St Peter’s Basilica, to admire Michelangelo’s famous Sistine Chapel and other masterpieces of the Italian Renaissance more closely. You may also participate in a series of other optional activities, such as a Segway or Vespa tour, or a cooking lesson to learn how to make pizza and ice cream.

Among the places worth visiting are the Piazza Della Signoria, the medieval heart of the city, Piazza Santa Croce with its past noble families’ buildings, and the home of Dante, the Supreme Poet and author of the Divine Comedy.

This afternoon enjoy a 30-minute gondola ride with commentary via the app on your mobile phone. The gondola, the iconic Venetian wooden boat, can accommodate up to 6 people and will be shared with other passengers. Before dinner in Venice, it is traditional to have an aperitif based on “cichéti” (small snacks) in one of the many “bacari” (taverns) scattered along the “calli” (that is what the Venetian streets are called). We recommend this must-try experience! Alternatively, you may want to pre-book a guided tour on ghosts and legends, an evocative itinerary in a mysterious and secret Venice.

Alternatively, you may want to take an optional boat excursion to the islands of the Venice lagoon: Murano, known all over the world for its famous glass craftmanship; Burano, famous not only for its lace but also for the picturesque fishermen’s houses all painted in bright colours; and Torcello, the first settlement in the lagoon.
