Tour Program
Istanbul – Venice
After meeting your guide at the Istanbul Airport International Terminal, we will proceed to the Turkish Airlines counter for baggage and ticket procedures before departing on a scheduled Turkish Airlines flight to Venice. Upon arrival, we begin with a panoramic city tour of Venice. After crossing to the historic peninsula by vaporetto, our tour includes San Marco Square, Venice's most famous and central square; St. Mark's Basilica, one of the world's most magnificent examples of Byzantine architecture and known as the "Golden Church"; the Bridge of Sighs, where prisoners took their last look at Venice before entering prison; the Grand Canal; the Rialto Bridge, an elegant arched structure spanning the Grand Canal; the Doge's Palace, which served as the political, administrative, and judicial heart of the Venetian Republic for centuries; the Campanile (Bell Tower); and St. George Maggiore Church, designed in the late 16th century by Andrea Palladio, one of the greatest architects of the Renaissance. These landmarks will be viewed during our panoramic tour. Following the tour, we transfer to our hotel for overnight accommodation.
Venice – Verona – Sirmione – Milan
After breakfast at the hotel, we will depart for Milan. Our first stop along the way will be Verona, where we will begin a panoramic city tour upon arrival. Nestled on the banks of the Adige River, Verona stands out for its monumental character that preserves a rich Roman heritage and has inspired some of the most romantic stories in world literature. Among the city's most iconic landmarks—and key stops on our tour—are the Arena di Verona, one of the best-preserved ancient amphitheaters in the world; Juliet's House; and the historic Piazza delle Erbe square. Next, we will continue to Sirmione. Upon arrival, our panoramic tour of Sirmione will include the fairytale Scaligero Castle, which rises directly from the water. After the tour, we will head back to Milan and start a panoramic city tour. Our first stop will be the Duomo di Milano, an iconic symbol of the city and one of the largest Gothic cathedrals in the world. Construction began in 1386 and took over 600 years to complete, making this masterpiece truly mesmerizing. Our next destination is the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, located in the heart of Milan. This is one of the oldest and most magnificent shopping arcades in the world, connecting the Duomo di Milano with the Teatro alla Scala. The final stop on our panoramic tour is the Sforzesco Castle, built in the 14th century and later converted into a ducal palace in the 15th century. Throughout the centuries, it has witnessed military sieges, destruction, and numerous reconstruction efforts. After the tour, we will transfer to our hotel and enjoy free time. Overnight stay at the hotel.
Milan – Como & Lugano – Milan
After breakfast at the hotel, we depart for the "Foothills of the Alps: Como & Lugano Tour." Our journey begins with Lake Como, Italy's third-largest lake. This glacially formed lake, nestled at the foot of the Alps and shaped like the letter "Y" or a fishbone, attracts numerous visitors throughout the year. We take a short stroll around this natural wonder where green meets blue, pausing for photos. Famous for its charming towns, this area includes notable sights such as Piazza Cavour and the Duomo, dating back to the 14th century. Afterward, we head to Lugano. Located within Swiss borders, the stunning natural beauty and breathtaking views of Lake Lugano will leave us in awe. We enjoy a panoramic tour around the lake, stopping for photographs. At the end of the tour, we transfer back to our hotel. Upon arrival, you'll have free time. Overnight stay at our hotel.
Milan – Bologna – Florence
After breakfast at the hotel, we will begin our transfer to Florence. En route, we will make a brief panoramic tour of Bologna, a city renowned in Italian gastronomy and education for its legendary status and distinctive red-brick architecture. Highlights of this tour include the elegant Neptune Fountain and Piazza Maggiore. Following the tour, we will continue our journey to Florence. Upon arrival, we will embark on a panoramic city tour of Florence. This tour will take us through the heart of the city, crossing the Arno River that divides it, and feature iconic sights such as Ponte Vecchio, known as the "Old Bridge" and one of the most photographed historical symbols of the city; Palazzo Vecchio, the grandest administrative center and historic palace located in Piazza della Signoria; the famous Piazza della Signoria itself; Santa Maria del Fiore Duomo, considered one of the greatest masterpieces in world history; and the historic Baptistery of St. John, which houses the renowned doors famously described by Michelangelo as the "Gates of Paradise," the result of 27 years of dedicated work. After the tour, we will return to our hotel with free time available. Overnight stay at our hotel.
Florence – Pisa – Siena – San Gimignano – Florence
After breakfast at the hotel, we depart for our tour of Siena, San Gimignano, and Pisa. Our first stop is Siena, where our city tour will take you back through centuries in this UNESCO World Heritage site. Highlights include the Church of San Domenico, which houses sacred relics; the Duomo Cathedral; Piazza del Campo, home to the famous Palio horse races; the renowned Palazzo del Popolo, now used as the town hall; and its narrow streets that still reflect traces of the past. Next, we visit San Gimignano, a town that captures the magic of the Middle Ages with its surrounding walls and towers, earning it the nickname "the Manhattan of the Middle Ages."

After breakfast at the hotel, we will depart for Rome. Before arriving in Rome, we will embark on the Bolseno & Civita di Bagnoregio & Orvieto Tour along the slopes of Lake Bolseno. Our first stop is Bolseno, a tranquil seaside town that has fully preserved its medieval character. Here, we will enjoy a short but delightful walking tour, during which we will also admire the brilliant blue waters of Lake Bolseno, Europe's largest volcanic lake, formed by a crater filled with water. Next, we will transfer to Bagnoregio, where we will explore Civita di Bagnoregio, a town founded approximately 2,500 years ago by the Etruscans and seemingly plucked straight from a fairy tale. The only access to this town is via a pedestrian bridge spanning about 500–1,000 meters starting from Bagnoregio. Due to limited access, the town has wonderfully retained its medieval atmosphere from the past to the present day. Our next destination is Orvieto, a city holding a distinguished place in Europe's rich architectural and cultural heritage, seamlessly integrated into a striking geographical landscape. In Orvieto, we will visit the Cathedral of Orvieto, the Monastery of San Bernardino, and the city square. After the tour, we will transfer back to our hotel and have free time. Overnight stay at our hotel.
Rome – Pompeii – Sorrento – Rome
After breakfast at the hotel, we depart for the Ancient City of Pompeii and Sorrento, the "Sunshine of the South." Pompeii, an ancient Roman city buried under meters of volcanic ash and pumice following the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD, stands as one of the most unique and extensive archaeological sites in the world. Preserved untouched for centuries, it reaches us almost intact, offering visitors a rare opportunity to observe daily life, street culture, art, and architecture of the Roman Empire from two millennia ago. This vast open-air museum, listed on the UNESCO World Heritage List, is among the most culturally significant attractions in Southern Italy. Within this ancient city, long protected by the shadow of Mount Vesuvius, we will explore structures such as the Basilica, Forum, baths, and bakeries. Our next stop is Sorrento, a charming coastal town perched on steep cliffs overlooking the Bay of Naples, renowned for its fragrant lemon groves, rich history, and embodiment of Mediterranean spirit. In this enchanting seaside destination, we will enjoy a short walk to experience the deep blue sea, natural beauty, and tranquil, inviting streets. After our wonderful walking tour, we return to our hotel for free time. Overnight stay at our hotel.
