In Italy, art and life are the same things. With more cultural sites than anywhere else, Italy is a trove of fascinating treasures, from the canals of Venice to the cobblestone streets of Palermo.
Milan, Piedmont, Bologna, Florence, Rome, Amalfi Coast
Italy is simply synonymous with delicious cuisine. For many chefs and passionate foodies, Italy is home to the finest food in the world, with fresh produce and traditional regional specialties to be discovered in every corner of the country. With food firmly ingrained in Italian culture, many regions, cities, towns, and villages have been shaped by their relationship with food, something best discovered through this compelling, 18-day trip. You’ll begin your adventure in the northern city of Milan, famous for its shopping and fashion, art, and architecture.
Milan, Lake Como, Portofino, Venice
From the shores of sparkling Lake Como and the fishing villages of Cinque Terre to the most serene republic of Venice and fashionable Milan, experience the charm and magic of Italy’s elegant northern provinces. Marvel at the UNESCO-listed Dolomites mountain range by helicopter and learn about the ancient craft of Venetian mask-making during exclusive experiences accompanied by expert artisans and local families.
Palermo, Taormina, Ravello
Experience the beauty of Southern Italy on a panoramic journey that includes Sicily's ancient ruins and exotic landscapes, the remote town of Calabria, and the Amalfi Coast. Take in panoramic views of the landscape and coast from smoldering Mount Etna and wind your way through Amalfi's clifftop vistas that plunge dramatically into the sparkling seas below.
Florence, Tuscany
Participate in an authentic Tuscan culinary masterclass, where you'll meet the chef, shop for produce at a local market and learn the true meaning of fatto a mano.
Next, you'll tour the idyllic Tuscan countryside by Vespa or Ferrari, before enjoying a private wine tour and tasting at a local winery.
Venice, Zadar, Dubrovnik, Kotor, Corfu, Taoromina, Sorrento/Capri, Rome
Set sail from Venice, the magnificent City of Canals built on an archipelago of over 100 islands, on an exploration of the Mediterranean's most fairy-tale ports. Marvel at Croatia's Dalmatian coast taking in the walled cities of Zadar and infamous Dubrovnik, before continuing on to the Bay of Kotor with its limestone cliffs and ancient fortifications. Spend the day in the rugged mountains or picturesque bays of Corfu, before returning to Italy to savor the delights of Sicily, Sorrento, and Rome.
Taormina, Noto, Palermo
This 10-day itinerary, inspired by Season Two of the television series The White Lotus, lets you experience everything Sicily has to offer. Between the history, culture, amazing sites and food, you will be completely immersed in Sicilian culture, while still having plenty of time to relax.
Ravello, Rome, Florence, Bologna, Milan
With the six-part CNN TV series “Stanley Tucci: Searching for Italy” as inspiration, this 17-day experience features the best of Italy, showcasing the beauty, culture, food and historic sites of Naples, Amalfi, Rome, Florence, Bologna and Milan.

Milan, Venice, Bologna, Lake Como, Modena, Verona
It starts with fashion and art in Milan. It continues during a private Tauck cruise across Lake Como to Bellagio and a boat ride to Isola Bella on Lake Maggiore. It captures your heart along the cobblestone streets of Verona, home to Romeo & Juliet... your taste buds at an agriturismo in the Franciacorta region and a cooking demo in Bologna (whose nickname is La Grassa, "the Fat One")... and all the senses in Venice, with visits by boat to some of the Venetian Islands and a private music recital, for Tauck guests only... Now that's amore, from pane to formaggio to vino...
