About the trip

This week-long escorted tour begins in Rome with a transfer to Arezzo in Tuscany for a gentle introduction. Siena reveals its medieval heart on a guided stroll: the half-moon shaped Campo and the cathedral’s black and white marble facade with its intricate floor mosaics testify to the city’s past affluence before the Black Death halted its growth.

Florence follows with a guided tour of its Renaissance landmarks including the cathedral’s massive brick dome. A reserved visit to the Uffizi Gallery offers a chance to see works by Botticelli, Raphael and Leonardo da Vinci. Back in Arezzo, cobbled squares and Romanesque churches co-exist with Renaissance frescoes by Piero della Francesca.

Leaving Tuscany, the journey calls at Assisi where St Francis’s basilica offers a study in ecclesiastical restraint and reverence. Rome, the final stop, blends ancient grandeur with lively piazzas and fountains, with visits to the Pantheon, Trevi Fountain and the option of nearby Tivoli’s Villa d’Este or Hadrian’s Villa. The final day is free to wander as you like in the capital, where history leans heavily on every corner.
