italy coast

Italy is a beautiful country in Southern Europe that has an extensive coastline on the Mediterranean Sea. It’s home to many famed cities such as Venice, Rome, and Milan. All of which have truly left their mark on western culture, and society as a whole.

With so many brilliant landmarks to visit and attractions to see, taking a trip to Italy could never be dull. Here’s everything you need to know about escorted tours of Italy.

Destinations in Italy

venice canal

Tours of Italy explore a wonderful variety of destinations, from the grandeur of Rome to the quaint canals of Venice. This country is as diverse as it is beautiful.

As you’ll discover on your Italy trip, the weather varies greatly from summer to winter. So, a great deal of planning should go into buying your Italy tour packages. Cold winters create a snowy, picturesque atmosphere, while the warm summers are perfect for spending days lying in the hot Italian sun.

Take a romantic tour of the Tuscany region, sipping on fine wines and taking in majestic views along the way. If the famous wine region doesn’t tickle your fancy, then enjoy one of the Italian tours of Siena and walk the cobblestone streets with your significant other.

If you want to fill up your holiday with full-day tours, then a trip to the city of Milan is a must. Apart from being one of the fashion capitals of the world, it’s also filled with historic sights and famous galleries that display the world’s most well-renowned artists, such as Vincent Van Gogh and Paul Cézanne.

A few other must-see destinations in Italy are Lake Como at the foot of the Alps and Cinque Terre, a colorful town on the edge of the Mediterranean Sea. Verona is another must-visit destination, famed by Shakespeare in his play Romeo and Juliet.

If you’re an adventurer at heart, why not spend a few days exploring the magnificent Dolomites? These ice-capped mountains provide the perfect place for a short walk or a few days hike. You could also take the easy route, enjoying splendid views from the comfort of a cable car.

Popular Tours in Italy

While exploring a country by yourself is always fun, you may find it to be a little sad when you get home and realize you may have missed the best parts. Leaving disappointment at the door is the safer choice, and opting for a tour of Italy is the perfect way to ensure that you do. Having a guide to show you the ropes, makes any of your trips to Italy that much easier.

Not having to deal with the stress of deciding what to do every day of your vacation makes everything run a little smoother. And, without that on your plate, you’re free to focus on enjoying yourself and having a great time.

Some of the more popular tours in Italy include exploring the Colosseum in Rome or visiting the many famous sights that are scattered around each iconic city. Visiting the Pantheon, the Roman Forum, Trevi Fountain, and the catacombs are also must-do activities while you’re in the city.

If you’re a history lover, then taking a tour of the famed Pompeii and Mt Vesuvius is an absolute must. The city was destroyed in 79 AD when the Mt Vesuvius volcano unexpectedly irrupted. The volcano is still considered active, but scientists are constantly monitoring the mountain for its next eruption, so taking this tour is considered safe.

The Amalfi Coast is where you should be during your Italy tour if you’re a beach bum or simply love the ocean. You can take a sunset cruise from one of its many quaint harbors, or taking a kayaking tour along the coastline. This allows you to get a closer look at the beautiful sea-life that frequents the area.

No matter which tour you decide to take during your Italy trips, it’s sure to enhance your experience of the culture, cuisine, and activities.
