Morning

Milan to Lake Garda

Don't get us wrong, we adore Milan. But we're taking you away from it for now for a very good reason: Lake Garda. Here, the rugged mountains, shimmering ice blue waters, and enchanting villages come together in harmony, creating one of the most-photographed landscapes in the counry. And once you arrive, you'll understand why...

Mid Morning

Free time and lunch in Peschiera del Garda

We stop at the charming town of Peschiera del Garda, with its cobblestone streets, scenic canals, and historical fortifications. Nestled at the southern tip of Lake Garda, this picturesque town invites you to explore its ancient walls, enjoy a leisurely stroll along the waterfront, or an exciting boat ride. You'll also have time to try some local specialties all while soaking in the stunning views of the surrounding mountains and lake.

Next, you travel to the place steeped in romance and tragedy where you can trace the footsteps of star-crossed lovers; Verona.

Afternoon

Journey and free time in Verona

Verona; richly coloured buildings and decadent marbles, luscious flora on quiet streets, neatly hidden cafes and restaurants. The architecture of this city can only be described as romantic. You have free time here to reminisce about past lovers at the famous Juliet's Balcony, where the timeless tale of Romeo and Juliet comes alive. More fascinated by the Ancient Rome? Admire the grandeur of the Arena di Verona, one of the best-preserved Roman amphitheatres still in use today. Or just simply wander leisurely through the ancient piazzas, each offering its own unique charm and still echoing with history.

Early Evening

Free evening in Venice

You then venture to the floating city of Venice, one of the most striking destinations in Italy and your home for the next two nights.

There's something unique about Venice at night. The island clears, the hubbub settles, and Venice's ghost stories whisper along the canal's streets.

Your overnight accommodation will be in 3* Hotel La Fenice et Des Artistes (or similar), Venice.

Accommodation is included in the price of your tour and is based on 2 people sharing (a single supplement applies when travelling solo). Simply select your preferred room type(s) during checkout. For more information about how accommodation works please see our accommodation guide.
