This flexible itinerary combines comfort, cultural discovery, and personal exploration across two of Italy’s most iconic cities—Rome and Florence. Upon arrival in Rome, travelers are greeted with a private transfer and have time to explore the city at their own rhythm. While the program leaves days open for personal discovery, a variety of optional experiences—such as panoramic bus tours and guided visits—can be added either at the time of booking or up to 30 days prior to departure. Rome’s historic sites, lively neighborhoods, and unique atmosphere provide the perfect backdrop for self-guided adventures or curated excursions.

The journey continues with a high-speed train ride to Florence, where travelers enjoy several days of unstructured time to soak in the city's Renaissance beauty. Optional tours, including day trips to the Chianti wine region or Cinque Terre, are available for purchase during booking or anytime up to 30 days before departure. The itinerary wraps up with a return to the Rome area for an overnight stay near the airport, ensuring a smooth and relaxed conclusion to the trip. Throughout, the program offers the freedom to customize the experience, blending independent travel with the convenience of optional, pre-arranged activities.
