I'm traveling with a group of five people, and we'll be returning to Rome on Saturday, October 17th, 2026, from a cruise. Since we'll have already done some sightseeing in Rome before the cruise, we're hoping to explore more of Italy afterward — particularly the Tuscany region. Ideally, we'd like to depart from Rome (or Florence) on October 17th or 18th. Our plan is to spend one or two nights in Florence, and a few nights in the Tuscany countryside, preferably at a farm stay or similar accommodation. After that, we'd love to spend a few nights in Venice before flying home from there. We're flexible on where the tour begins — Rome or Florence — and we're comfortable traveling by train between cities if needed. Do you have any tours or itineraries around those dates that cover Florence, Tuscany, and Venice?

I would recommend one of these two tours here : Beautiful Italy Venice with Tuscan Trail

Do you have the option while in Bologna to explore by yourself. my husband would like to visit the Ducati factory museum. Will we have time to do this on this tour or are you required to stay with the group?

As this tour follows a set and structured itinerary, it's not possible for us to arrange any activities outside of the planned schedule, including visits like the Ducati Factory Museum. If there is any free time during the tour while in Bologna, you may speak with your tour leader on the ground, but please note that any additional activities would be subject to time and availability and are not guaranteed.

Great trip, interesting places to visit. Have gained so much insight into the history of the region. Nice group of 7 people and an awesome tour leader. It was a very active trip, with lots of walking….not for the faint hearted! As you have to carry your luggage up and down a lots of stairs at train stations and hotels without lifts, you need to be able to lift and carry it yourself. Travel light! Food was good, there was plenty of time to do our own wandering ( and laundry) etc Two or 3 nights in most hotels was very good.Would definitely recommend an Intrepid holiday to anyone who wants to be on the move, learn about the places you are in and see a few places off the beaten path!Show more

The overall arrangement was very good, in particular for the mix selection of the places, including big cities and nature centers/resorts. The team leaders have done their job well. They were friendly and worked hard to cope with difficult situations such as train cancellations and different requests from the team members. The only failure was the bus trip from Bratislava to Budapest as the condition inside the bus was very poor. There were traffic jams and it took too much time on the road in the uncomfortable bus.Show more
