Meet your Travel Director and fellow travellers over a welcome dinner in Rome. Share first impressions of the Eternal City and get to know the people travelling with you.

Rome’s streets bring together ancient ruins, Renaissance palaces and Baroque churches. The gathering offers a sociable introduction to the city and the journey ahead, with time to hear local insights and ask questions about the places you’ll explore.

Explore Rome with a Local Specialist and see the city through a local’s eyes. Cross the Tiber into ancient Rome to view the Colosseum, the vast amphitheatre where public spectacles once drew crowds from across the empire.

An orientation with your Travel Director also reveals Rome’s layers of medieval buildings, Renaissance palaces and Baroque churches. Together, these sights trace the city’s long transformation from imperial capital to the lively streets of modern Rome. Colosseum entry is not specified.

Visit the 12th-century Castello del Trebbio in the Tuscan countryside and meet hosts Anna and Alberto for a Be My Guest experience. Explore the castle and its cellars, hear about the Pazzi family’s plot against the Medici, and share a traditional Tuscan buffet.

Taste local olive oil and wine while learning how this historic estate is cared for today. Its stone rooms and infamous dungeons give a tangible setting to one of Renaissance Florence’s most dramatic rivalries.

Discover Florence with a Local Specialist, viewing the marble-clad cathedral, its bell tower and baptistery, and the Piazza della Signoria, the city’s historic political heart. See the area around Santa Croce, known for generations of skilled craftsmanship.

At a gold and leatherwork demonstration, watch artisans reveal the care behind Florentine luxury goods. The pairing connects the architecture of the Renaissance city with a living tradition of meticulous handwork; entry to the cathedral is not specified.

Cruise by private launch to St Mark’s Square and experience Venice from the water, the perspective that shaped this island city. Take in views of St Mark’s Basilica and the Doge’s Palace as historic facades rise beside the canals.

For centuries, boats have linked Venice’s islands and carried people towards its ceremonial centre. The approach brings its maritime heritage into focus through shifting reflections, waterside architecture and the unmistakable bustle around the square.

Watch a Venetian glassblowing demonstration at a workshop, where master craftspeople shape heated glass using techniques refined over centuries. See how precise movements and careful timing turn molten material into delicate forms.

Glassmaking is one of Venice’s defining artisan traditions, closely associated with the island of Murano. This visit offers a close look at the skill behind pieces seen in the city’s shops and at the importance of keeping that craft alive.

Explore Lucerne with your Travel Director and see the Chapel Bridge, Old Town Hall and Lion Monument. The covered timber bridge is a symbol of the city, while the Lion Monument commemorates Swiss Guards who died during the French Revolution.

Set beside Lake Lucerne and framed by Alpine peaks, the Old Town combines painted facades and historic civic buildings. This orientation brings together the city’s lakeside setting and the stories preserved in its most recognisable landmarks.

Discover Paris with a Local Specialist, taking in views of the Champs-Élysées, Arc de Triomphe and Eiffel Tower. See Notre-Dame Cathedral and walk through the Latin Quarter, where narrow streets and lively squares sit on the Left Bank.

The tour balances Paris’s grand avenues with its smaller lanes. Around the Latin Quarter, the long presence of the Sorbonne has helped shape a neighbourhood associated with students, bookshops and café conversation.

Ascend a mountain near Lucerne on an optional excursion for panoramic views over the Swiss landscape. From higher ground, take in the contrast between steep Alpine slopes, surrounding valleys and the waters of Lake Lucerne.

The precise mountain and ascent method are not specified, so the experience may vary. It is an opportunity to appreciate the setting that makes Lucerne a gateway to the Alps. This experience costs extra and is bookable on tour.

Cruise the Seine and see Paris’s riverbanks from the water on an optional evening experience. A Paris-by-night tour offers another perspective on the capital as its streets, bridges and landmark facades take on their evening character.

The Seine has long connected the city’s historic neighbourhoods, making it a distinctive vantage point for sightseeing. The exact cruise route and sights may vary. This experience costs extra and is bookable on tour.

Visit the Palace of Versailles on an optional excursion from Paris. Discover the former royal residence associated with Louis XIV and the scale of a court designed to express the power of the French monarchy.

Versailles is renowned for its ceremonial rooms and formal grounds, which reflect the artistic ambitions of the 17th-century court. Specific rooms, garden areas and entry arrangements are not detailed and may vary. This experience costs extra and is bookable on tour.
