9 Day Italian Family Vacation: City Highlights
Premier Private Guided Tour
With its fascinating ruins, magical art, open spaces, and abundance of tasty treats, Italy seems almost tailor-made for kids (not to mention their accompanying adults). Got a fussy eater? The homeland of pizza and gelato will turn them into a gourmet overnight. Got a sourpuss who thinks history is just boring old stuff? Fill their head with stories of gladiators and secret tunnels and watch how quickly the past comes to life. This family-focused itinerary blends discovery, sightseeing, and plenty of hands-on action in Rome, Florence, and Venice into a transformative experience they’ll remember forever.
Naturally, it all starts in Rome where you’ll enjoy cruising by a different slice of the eternal city in a golf buggy then refuel with the delicious taste of pizza and gelato. Next, take the kids back in time to the days of Ancient Rome on a private tour of the Colosseum, the ruins of the Roman Forum, and Palatine Hill where, according to legend, Romulus first settled what would later become the seat of an empire. Later, spend a pleasant half-day biking out to Rome’s famous Catacombs, a vast network of underground tunnels where early Christians buried their dead (don’t worry; all the bones are long gone!) before biking back along the ancient Appian Way with refreshments along the route. Next stop: Florence, the cradle of the Renaissance. Here, you’ll step out on a family walking tour of one of Europe’s most beautiful cities accompanied by a private guide who will explain the significance of oft-photographed landmarks like Piazza della Signoria, Piazza del Duomo, and Giotto's Campanile (bell tower). The experience winds up in Venice, which you’ll explore on a private walking tour and gondola cruise before having a go at the magical and mysterious world of carnival masks on a treasure hunt.
