• Day 1: UK - Paris - Geneva

  Your adventure begins in London’s St Pancras station, where you’ll board the Eurostar from London to Paris. Change onto a high-speed train and whiz through France towards Switzerland in just over three hours, all the while admiring the beautiful lake and mountain scenes out your window.

• Day 2: Geneva - Venice

  After breakfast, depart Geneva in the morning and travel to Venice on one of the most scenic routes in Europe, the Simplon Pass. Relax whilst the train follows the shores of Lake Leman and across Swiss vineyards, with stunning views of the Alps in the background. Travel further south after crossing the border into Italy before arriving in Venice.

• Day 3: Venice

  Enjoy a tasty breakfast at the hotel then join a short walking tour for some stories of the city’s labyrinthine streets and campos (squares), then enjoy a gondola ride down the Grand Canal.

• Day 4: Venice - Florence

  Enjoy breakfast in the hotel and then return to Santa Lucia station for your train to Florence. On arrival in Florence, start exploring this beautiful and historic city. A good place to start is the Ponte Vecchio, the oldest and most famous bridge over the Arno River, filled with shops and connecting the famous Uffizi museum to the old Medici Palace.

• Day 5: Florence

  Spend another day discovering Florence. Enjoy a walking tour with a local guide, take a stroll across the Ponte Vecchio, admire the spectacular Duomo Cathedral and be sure to enjoy some fine Italian cuisine before you leave the “Renaissance City”.

  Travel from Florence to Rome by train. Start using your Hop-on-Hop-off bus pass to travel around the city. Marvel at the ancient walls of the Colosseum, take in the dazzling views from the rooftop terrace of the Capitoline Museums and be sure to visit the famous Spanish steps before heading to the Piazza di Spagna for a spot of shopping.

  Spend a full day exploring Rome. Discover the wonders of the ‘Eternal City’ at your own pace, perhaps taking a trip to Vatican City to explore the museums and marvel at the ornate ceiling of the Sistine Chapel. Come the evening, be sure to visit the Trevi Fountain to throw your coins - the architecture is quite spectacular when lit up at night.
