About Italy Tours

Italy tours take travellers of all ages to some of the world’s most famous and sacred sites. Experience world-renowned authentic Italian food, shop famous designers Armani, Versace and Prada, and marvel at the historical and religious significance Italy has to offer.

Begin by launching our Tour Finder, where you can compare all the Italy tours quickly and easily. You can select your desired date range and choose up to three different destinations, and our tour finder will show you the best matches.

Step back in time with a trip to the Colosseum, Roman Forum, Vatican City, St. Peter’s Square and Basilica. Visit one of the four major churches, the Basilica of St. John Lateran, which was built in Rome in the 4th century. Climb the Holy Stairs, which were transported from Jerusalem around 326 AD, and visit the burial site of St. Paul the Apostle. And don’t forget to see the preserved ruins of Pompeii and, of course, the Leaning Tower of Pisa.

Tuscany boasts some of the most spectacular scenery in Italy. During the warmer months, join a local guide on a walking tour in Florence and Sienna, or hike the Cinque Terra – five towns perched atop the hillside overlooking the ocean. At the end of your tour, take some extra time to rent one of the many villas in Tuscany – they’ve become quite popular for family travellers.

Because Italy is somewhat small geographically, many first time visitors are able to experience Rome, Florence, and Venice all in one trip. Take note that it does get rather hot and crowded in the summer months of July and August. For a more relaxing visit, book your tour of Italy in the spring or fall to enjoy more comfortable temperatures and fewer crowds.

No tour of Italy would be complete without experiencing the romance of a gondola ride in Venice. For those craving even more time on the open waters, be sure to explore the Italian Lake District in the north. Here you’ll find famous bodies of water including Lake Como and Lake Maggiore which also offer stunning mountain scenery.

With so many Italy tour options available to you, it’s wise to work with a travel agent who’s actually been there. A tripcentral.ca travel agent can help you hand-pick the perfect tour of Italy for your vacation plans – and they’ll help you find the best possible prices, too.
