Breakfast at the hotel, followed by an Open Tour of Athens. See the main sights of the Roman Empire on this tour that introduces you to the iconic landmarks of the Roman Forum and Colosseum, as well as Palatine Hill, where you can look out at Circus Maximus. Try to imagine life in the ancient days of Rome as you explore the amphitheater where gladiator battles once took place and walk the paths once tread by Roman emperors, listening to stories from a knowledgeable guide along the way. Please note that entrance fees are not included in this tour.

Breakfast at the hotel, followed by check-out formalities. Later you have a private transfer to Rome Termini Station. Board the train for your onward journey to Florence! (Please note the cost of the ticket is included, however the same is subject to vary until ticketed)

Cradle of the Renaissance, romantic, enchanting, and utterly irresistible, Florence (Firenze) is a place to feast on world-class art and gourmet Tuscan cuisine. Few cities are so compact in size or so packed with extraordinary art and architecture masterpieces at every turn. Florence is made for walking, which suits me perfectly, but what never ceases to amaze tourists, is its overwhelming beauty! Italy's fashion industry was born and bred here. Homegrown designers Guccio Gucci and Salvatore Ferragamo opened haute-couture boutiques in Florence in the 1920s and shopping in the Tuscan capital have been stylish ever since. Check-in at the hotel and the rest of the day is free for relaxing or leisure activities.

Today, after breakfast the morning will be free. Later in the afternoon see the iconic Leaning Tower on this half-day trip to Pisa from Florence. Admire Cathedral Square and the Pisa Baptistery as you follow an expert guide past the city’s main attractions. After posing with the UNESCO-listed Leaning Tower of Pisa, sometimes explore the area independently. Your trip concludes with transportation back to Florence.

Breakfast at the hotel and upon completion of the check out formalities, you will have a private transfer to the train station for your final destination: Venice

Imagine the audacity of building a city of marble palaces on a lagoon – and that was only the start. Never was a thoroughfare so aptly named as the Grand Canal, reflecting the glories of centuries of Venetian architecture in the 50 palazzi and six churches lining its banks. At the end of Venice’s signature S-shaped waterway, the Palazzo Ducale and Basilica di San Marco add double exclamation points. But wait until you see what’s hiding in the narrow backstreets: neighborhood churches lined with Veroneses and priceless marbles, convents graced with ethereal Bellinis, Tiepolo’s glimpses of heaven on homeless-shelter ceilings, and a single Titian painting that mysteriously lights up an entire basilica. Upon your arrival at Venice Lucia Train Station, you will have a private transfer (combination of car and water taxi) to the Venice Hotel. Check-in at the hotel and the rest of the day is free for relaxing or leisure activities.

Experience Venice in the most Venetian way possible: via a shared gondola ride while being serenaded. Choose between an afternoon or evening ride and then begin the ride, as part of a group of eight different gondolas, with a singer aboard one of the boats. In addition to the song being sung to you, enjoy the sites of Venice's main landmarks, including the Grand Canal and Palazzo Barberino.

Today, after breakfast visit Torcello, Murano, and Burano — three islands in the Venetian Lagoon — on this tour from Venice by motorboat. With a guide, watch glass being blown at a Murano glass factory, see historical cathedrals on Torcello, and admire exquisite handmade lace on Burano. This is a great way to see more than just the central sights of Venice and enjoy a cruise on the water.

• Visit the three most famous islands in the Venetian Lagoon by motorboat
• Watch master glassblowers at work at a factory on Murano
• See Byzantine churches on Torcello— the Church of Santa Fosca
• Browse for lace on Burano and admire the painted houses

Breakfast at the hotel, check out formalities, and free time depending on the flight back home. 3  to 4 hours prior to your departure flight you will have a private transfer from the hotel to Venice Airport (B) (Please note the private transfer will depart from a designated point and will include a combination of the water taxi and car to the airport)
