Everyone needs to go to Rome at least once. A small group tour to Rome is a staple on The Traveling Professor's Italy trips. Because of the crowds, Rome can be a difficult venue to maneuver. Lines at major attractions can be overwhelming. In today's blog post, The Professor will detail his favorite places to go in Rome and how to do those favorite places the right way.http://www.travelingprofessor.com/
If you ask me, cities like Rome, Venice, and Paris are barely worth visiting during peak times. Our Traveling Professor small group tours avoid these cities in the summer and certain holiday periods. However, there are gems located all over Europe that can be visited any time of the year. Each has it's own charms for different reasons. On your next tour to Europe, try visiting one of these cities, even for only a day. I guarantee you will enjoy them.
On his small group tours to Italy, The Traveling Professor visits Venice about 4 times per year. There are many choices of places to eat, some authentic and good, some not too authentic and not too good. The Traveling Professor helps you wade through your choices and gives a few selections of the best places to eat in Venice on your next tour to Italy.
Rome is a favorite destination of travelers and The Traveling Professor visits several times a year on his small group tours to Italy.

Melanie Wilson is a colleague who lived in Florence for some time as a student. She is like a food detective who goes out early in the morning or late at night to satisfy her culinary desires. In today's blog post Melanie tells about her favorite places in Florence.

When The Traveling Professor did his annual traveler survey over the summer, over 67% of the respondents indicated they preferred to travel to more uncommon destinations. On my small group tours to Italy we do travel to more touristy cities like Rome, Venice, and Florence, but I think people are looking for those more uncrowded and less touristy authentic Italian towns. In this blog post I list my favorite authentic Italian towns that get away from those larger, touristy cities.
Whether it be a small group tour to Italy or traveling solo, The Traveling Professor has some hotels in Italy you should know about.

Lastly, I talk about my latest find in Treviso: a beautiful, romantic and roomy B&B that is perfect for a trip to this underrated Italian city.
We just got back from a week-long research tour to Germany, Austria and Italy. The Traveling Professor is always scouting for new locations to add to his small group tours to Italy and we think we found two great ones, both of them in northern Italy in an area called the Veneto.
