Italy with Niamh

Pisa, Florence & Rome

17 - 22 April 2025
An Italian Rail Adventure with Niamh

From the charming streets of Pisa to the timeless hustle and bustle of Rome, this five-night journey is the perfect way to experience Italy’s beauty, culture, and food as part of a group of like-minded travellers hosted by Niamh.

Meet up with everyone in Pisa, where you’ll have the chance to climb the iconic Leaning Tower (and get that photo!) before catching a train through serene Italian countryside to Florence, the birthplace of the Renaissance. Wander the city’s lively, cobbled streets, take a look at the world-famous art dotted around the city’s churches and museums, and make sure to grab some pistachio gelato and a schiacciata sandwich to enjoy along the way. The group will then head out on a Chianti wine tour, spending a balmy, golden afternoon together while sampling different wines and authentic local nibbles, all surrounded by the rolling vineyards of Tuscany.

Then, it’s on to Rome, where ancient history and vibrant street life meet. This is a city where there’s always more to see and something to uncover, whether it’s a tucked-away trattoria with fresh pasta made in house, a breathtaking piazza filled with locals and street performers, or Roman ruins standing side by side with the 21st-century city. You’ll have the chance to experience the city’s rich food culture first hand in a pasta and tiramisu workshop, where the group will learn to create these Italian classics from scratch, before heading out to explore Rome at night. Take a wander through Trastevere’s lively streets, stopping at local bars for cocktails, and enjoy a night out where the atmosphere stays alive well into the early hours.

This isn’t just a trip – it’s an opportunity to experience Italy alongside Niamh, discovering some hidden gems, trying all the local flavours, and living some unforgettable moments with the group along the way.
