The next morning you will visit the world-famous Vatican Museums and Sistine Chapel, where you’ll have chance to marvel at the jaw-dropping intricacy of the art on display.. The rest of that day is completely up to you! Continue to explore the city’s bars, restaurants, and parks before leaving the city the next day.

Ah, Florence. Home to intricate architecture, winding streets and mouth-watering steaks, the capital of the Tuscany region does not disappoint. No matter what your interests, this is a city that will have something for you.

Train to Venice – 1.5 hours
On to our final Italian destination of the tour- Venice! Known for its twisting waterways, picturesque sunsets, and unique culture, this is one of our most popular destinations- and it’s easy to see why!
Spend your first evening here with some free time to walk the Grand Canal. Venice’s main waterway looks spectacular at night, so why not grab some gelato and spend time watching the lights of the many boats that pass.
Your first full day begins with some time to hit any of the sights you didn’t get to the evening before. Why not head to St. Mark’s Square and take a look at the stunning architecture? Or, wander the twisting canals and waterways that the city is built upon.
That evening, you’ll take an included tour of the canals on one of the city’s famous Gondolas. This is a quintessentially Venetian mode of transport and gives a completely different perspective on the city.
Say goodbye to the other group tour members with a few farewell drinks at ANDA Hostel before you depart the following morning. If you’d like to have some extra time to explore you can include a night of post-trip accommodation before heading home the following day.
Included: Gondola Ride
Suggestion: Cross the iconic St Mark’s Square
Suggestion: Get lost in the alleyways and canals of the city
Suggestion: Ride the Vaporetto down the grand canal
To avoid the hassle of flying home with all those souvenirs, you can add transport back to London. This will include a 9 hour day train to Paris, then a 4 hour train to London, so we recommend adding a night in Paris to break up this journey!
