With its grand architecture and rich history, Florence is a city that epitomizes the beauty of Tuscany.

From kneading dough to adding favorite toppings, this hands-on activity is as fun as it is delicious. Don’t miss strolling or cycling through Florence’s highlights, including the Duomo and Uffizi Gallery, or heading to Piazzale Michelangelo for breathtaking views of the city and surrounding countryside.
From Florence, journey south to Rome, where layers of history and timeless beauty await. Your luxurious base for the next three nights will be the iconic Hotel de Russie, located near the Spanish Steps. Start your Roman adventure at the Colosseum with an experience that brings history to life—Gladiator School. Step into the world of ancient Rome, don a centurion helmet, and learn the art of swordplay from an expert instructor in this hands-on activity that’s both thrilling and educational.
For a sweeter side of the city, visit one of Rome’s finest gelaterias for a gelato-making workshop. Experiment with fresh ingredients and create your own unique flavor, followed by a delicious taste test. Cap off your Roman holiday by hopping on the back of a vintage Vespa, zipping through narrow streets and picturesque piazzas to experience the city like a local.
Your journey concludes in the sun-drenched paradise of Puglia at Borgo Egnazia, a stunning retreat set among olive groves, fragrant jasmine, and blooming bougainvillea. Just steps from the coastline, this luxurious resort offers endless opportunities for family fun. Spend your days swimming in the pool or the sea, teeing off at the oceanside golf course, or enjoying activities like go-karting, water sports, and cycling.
As your Italian adventure comes to an end, you’ll leave Puglia relaxed and rejuvenated, already dreaming of your next trip to this beautiful country. With so much more to explore, Italy will undoubtedly call you back for another unforgettable journey.
