Vacation Overview
The big three of Italy are combined in one tour on the Italian Espresso Vacation and as the name suggests, it's a short, strong hit of all things Italian! Travel to the floating city of Venice to shop for Italian designer fashion and walk the tiny streets, Renaissance Florence for traditional Tuscan hospitality as well as art and architecture, and then return to Rome to walk in the footsteps of the Roman Emperors. Follow the tradition and throw your 3 coins in the Trevi Fountain...and you could be falling in love with Italy all over again!
