| Description |
Like a creamy gelato or hot espresso, one taste of Italy can linger for a lifetime. Travelling from eternal Rome and up through the hazy hills of Tuscany, you’ll spend eight days sampling the best of Assisi, Siena, Florence, Bologna, Padova, Venice, and Montepulciano. Catch the spirit of La Vita Bella as you explore elegant Florentine piazzas, rummage through handcrafted artisanal treasures, sip world-class wines, and float down intimate Venetian canals. Extend your visit by 2-3 days to discover the treasures along Italy’s Amalfi coast, from charmingly gritty Naples to sun-bleached Capri! |
Fiji is a place where you can come across jungle-ensconced waterfalls, or dive on soft coral reefs teeming with tropical fish. Our South Pacific specialists have a real fondness for Fiji, visiting to find the islands’ tucked-away beaches, prime snorkeling spots and more authentic resorts. They’ll piece together a tailor-made vacation to Fiji that can, if you’re interested, take in the country’s many sides. |
