A really brilliant introduction to Italy: six cities in one tour, staying three nights each in Rome, Florence and Venice and one in Turin, with a day trip to Pisa and Lucca from Florence. Local dishes in the included meals and a good balance of inclusive tours and unallocated times which we were able to use to good advantage. We liked the "hidden Rome" tour which took us to places we'd never have thought of visiting but were well worth seeing. We liked that we stayed on Murano in Venice because we may not otherwise have thought of visiting it.
