Comparing Rick's Italy Tours
 |
| All three of these tours include the must-see cities of Florence (above) and Rome. |
Best of Italy in 17 Days: Covers the most places in Italy, and a pretty brisk pace. "I've got the time and money, and I want to see the most in a single trip."
NEW! Heart of Italy in 11 Days: Covers everything that Best of Italy does — in just as much detail — but it does not visit Lake Como, the Dolomites, Venice and Verona. "My time and budget are tight, so saving 6 vacation days and $1,500 per person is a big plus."
Venice, Florence & Rome in 10 Days: Each city is covered in the same manner as the other tours, but with more free time to explore on your own. It's strictly an urban tour, with none of the countryside stops offered by the two others. "My time is limited and the cities are on my must-see list. I'll come back for more of Italy later."
