9-Nights Italy Family Adventure - Tailormade Journeys

1 Arrive Rome, Italy
The Eternal City is a crumbling classic of romance and relics, where every sculpted cheek comes with a story. History is everywhere, be it the glory of the Colosseum, the tombs of ancient emperors or churches lavished with masterpieces. Chefs and saints, aesthetes and artisans have all shaped this city, whose jumbled skyline sings with whirring Vespas and clinking espresso cups, the dome of St. Peter’s reigning over it all like Jupiter himself.


Meals:

2 Rome – Vatican Splendors And Roman Treasure Hunt
Cross the Tiber River into the Vatican City, the world's smallest independent state. Explore the Vatican Museums, Sistine Chapel and Basilica of St. Peter. Then, embark on treasure hunt set amid iconic Roman sites like the Piazza Navona, Pantheon, Via del Corso, Trevi Fountain and Spanish Steps.


Meals:

3 Rome – The Colosseum And Gladiator School
Following visits to Rome’s iconic Colosseum and Forum and Palatine Hill, channel your inner warrior (parents, too!) by enrolling at Gladiator School. Don a tunic, seize your sword and take part in a series of thrilling challenges ahead of a mock tournament.


Meals:

4 Siena – Palio Scavenger Hunt
En route to Florence, stop for a scavenger hunt through the medieval city of Siena. Learn more about the Palio, one of the world’s oldest horse races, which thunders through the city’s beautiful, red-stoned streets twice a year.


Meals:

5 Florence – Renaissance Wonders

You can barely move for masterpieces in the Tuscan capital: Michelangelo’s David, centerpiece of the Galleria dell’Accademia; the Uffizi; the romantic Ponte Vecchio; and the Duomo, a holy canopy of terracotta high above the rooftops. Here, take in Galileo’s works at the History of Science Museum and cool down with a behind-the-scenes tour of Florence’s best gelateria and a ride on the Piazza della Repubblica’s carousel.

Meals:

6 Florence – Explore Your Way
Spend the day relaxing or exploring on your own as you see fit.

Meals:

8 Venice – St. Mark’s Basilica And Venetian Masks
A heady dream of Carnival, canals, basilicas and Byzantine relics, Venice bewitches from the very first breath. Here, stroll St. Mark’s Basilica and iconic canals. Then, decorate a mask in the traditional Carnival style or go for your own modern, fantasy design before taking your colorful creation home.


Meals:

9 Venice – Day At Leisure
Nowhere other than Venice can you turn from a grand marble palace, seemingly floating on the Adriatic, and into a warren of stirring, salty-aired passageways, where life has ebbed and flowed with the rhythm of the water for centuries.
