If you could weave together the perfect Italy holiday, what would you bring to the loom? The pastel palaces of Venice? The muted frescoes of Florence? The ornate piazzas of Rome? The azure waters of Capri? We’ve selected the most stunning scenes across the country to create a rich and rewarding tapestry of experiences on this visual and tactile tour of Italy. A gondola serenade in romantic Venice, a balsamic vinegar tasting in culinary Modena, a walking tour of Pompeii’s excavations, a Limoncello sampling in sunny Sorrento—they’re all part of a perfectly woven itinerary that starts in the “Floating City,” coasts through the rolling green Tuscan Hills, explores the “Eternal City” and then saunters south to the fashionable resort of Capri. In true Italian fashion, this vibrant and vivid tour of Italy is a work of art.

Slabic, Aida

Italy has always been my passion. Every day, there is something new to discover and experience. Amazing cities of art, spectacular countryside, lake and mountain scenery, great cooking classes to learn about its worldwide famous cuisine, wine tastings, and much more. You can never have enough of it! What's my favorite place in Italy? Hard to tell! You're sure to experience something special that you'll take home in your heart. Once in Italy...let Globus and me help you enjoy the very best of it!

If you could weave together the perfect Italy holiday, what would you bring to the loom? The pastel palaces of Venice? The muted frescoes of Florence? The ornate piazzas of Rome? The azure waters of Capri? We’ve selected the most stunning scenes across the country to create a rich and rewarding tapestry of experiences on this visual and tactile tour of Italy.
