First timers always visit Rome, Florence, and Venice. Our most popular small group tours to Italy involves Rome, Venice, and Florence also. However, we recommend to get past the tourists and trinket shops to get a more intimate view of Italy. In the past few years, I've discovered the Veneto region of Italy. I love the authentic culture, food, in a relaxed atmosphere. Check out my blog post and I will tell you more about Verona, Vicenza, Padua and Lake Garda.
Most travelers who have not visited Italy before think of a tour to the Colosseum, the Accademia in Florence to see David, or maybe Venice to visit St. Mark's Square is on what should be on their itinerary. But for those of us who have enjoyed Italy before and want to go past the souvenir stands, escape the hordes of foreign tourists, and enjoy the REAL Italy, does The Traveling Professor have a tour for you. Take a look at today's blog post to see a delightful itinerary of Italy that is yours for discovery.
I got back late last night from leading another small group tour to Italy. We visited Florence, Padua, Verona, Venice, Vicenza then headed down to Sorrento and the Amalfi Coast for a few days. We traveled with as many as 12 adults and as few as six. The weather was terrific, the food was out of this world, the places we visited were glorious and the friendships we made will last for a long time. Read my blog post and find out the highlights of our tour of Italy.
