Itinerary
We meet at our London St Pancras Departure Office and board the Eurostar to Paris. From here, we change trains and head to Chambéry, where we spend the night, enjoying dinner in a local restaurant. We travel by rail to Rome on Day 2. The city is a feast for the senses, from its fountains and public gardens to its intimate cafés filled with the scent of Italian coffee. The most famous sights here are a wonder to behold.
On Day 3, our day in Rome begins with a guided tour, during which we take in sights including the Roman Forum and theatrical Trevi Fountain. Later, you're free to spend your afternoon savouring the sights and sounds of Rome. Visit St Peter's Basilica and the Vatican museum, stroll through the atmospheric streets, ascend the monumental Spanish Steps or relax in one of Rome's many squares with a coffee or ice-cream. With its abundance of history and culture, Rome offers something to suit every taste.

We prefer train to plane but dragging cases and long stints a minor minus. Generlly good though a failure to book a different train home could have been a problem

Well led by a helpful guide. All went well except for French Rail strke and the weather which was not up to Italian expectations. Very interestin historically of course but cloud cover precluded us from enjoying the scenery.

The holiday delivered everything that was advertised - except the weather which was not as good as the pictures! The company dealt admirably with the French rail strikes.

Very good. Suggestions: A free day before starting the journey home. Capri visit moved to the day before. An extra night in Rome.
