Itinerary

ITINERARY CHANGES Our itineraries are updated regularly throughout the year based on customer feedback and to reflect the current situation in each destination. The information included in this Essential Trip Information may therefore differ from when you first booked your trip. It's important that you review this information prior to travel so that you have the latest updates. Due to weather, local conditions, transport schedules, public holidays, political unrest or other factors, further changes may be necessary to your itinerary once in-country. Your group leader or local representative will keep you up to date with any such changes once your trip is underway and has the authority to amend or cancel any part of the trip itinerary if deemed necessary due to safety concerns. , OPTIONAL ACTIVITIES A selection of optional activities that have been popular with past travellers are listed in the day-to-day itinerary. This isn't an exhaustive list and should be used as a guide only for some of what might be available. Prices are approximate, are for entrance fees only, and don’t include transport to and from the sites or local guides unless indicated. All activities are subject to availability, and maybe on a join-in basis. It may not be possible to do all the activities listed in the time available at each destination, so some pre-planning for what you are most interested in is advised. When it's recommended that travellers pre-book these activities, look for a note in the Special Information section of the day-to-day itinerary. For most, they can either be organised independently on the day, or let your group leader or local representative know you are interested at the Welcome Meeting and they can assist. Where activities are considered medium or high risk, we work with operators whose safety and credentials we have sighted and assessed. Although it is possible that you may find the same activity cheaper with another operator on the ground, we cannot vouch for the safety or quality of that operator. Medium and high-risk activities not listed above have not been assessed by us and as such our staff and group leader or local representative are unable to assist you with organising these activities. Activities that contravene our Responsible Travel policies are also not listed. Please remember that the decision to partake in any activity not listed is at your own discretion and risk., MUSEUM VISITS & OPENING TIMES Many sites, attractions and museums are closed on Mondays (and sometimes Tuesdays). We recommend checking the opening times of anywhere you're interested to visit and making reservations where required/possible.

Day 1 - Treviso
Ciao! Welcome to Italy Your adventure starts in Treviso with a welcome meeting at 11 am this morning. If you arrive early, maybe visit Treviso Cathedral or explore the works by Titian and Tiepolo and the Museo Luigi Bailo at the Museo di Santa Caterina. After your meeting, join your local leader on an orientation walk along Treviso’s cobbled streets, leafy canals and lively piazzas. Along the way, learn how Tiramisu was invented here and stop for a sweet treat at Dassie Gelateria – an award-winning and beloved local institution known for its artisanal gelato made with fresh, seasonal ingredients. Whether you go for a classic stracciatella or something bold like fig and walnut, it’s the perfect way to cool off and connect with Treviso’s sweeter side. Tonight, get to know your fellow travellers at a welcome dinner and indulge in one of the city’s famous sweet treats for dessert.
Day 2 - Treviso
Venture by train into the heart of Italy’s prosecco wine region, where gently rolling hills cradle sun-drenched vineyards and villages. When you arrive in Conegliano, set off on a bike ride along scenic routes that weave through the vines and learn about the region’s biodiversity and cultivation methods from passionate local producers. After, settle in for a guided tasting of five exceptional wines at a local vineyard. Pair your tasting with a generous charcuterie board featuring fresh and aged cheeses, artisanal salami, pickled vegetables and sweet-and-sour radicchio. Then, cycle back to the train station where you’ll take the train back to Treviso. Tonight, maybe find a local restaurant for dinner – there’s no shortage in Italy!
Day 3 - Treviso
This morning, board a train to Venice Santa Lucia. Known for its canals, Venice comprises hundreds of small islands connected by nearly 400 bridges. When you arrive, set off on a leader-led orientation walk. Visit some of the city’s most famous landmarks such as the Grand Canal, the Rialto Bridge, Doge's Palace (the ruler of Venice), the Piazza San Marco and the evocative Ponte Dei Sospiri (Bridge of Sighs). Later, join a cicchetti and wine Urban Adventure. Get the lowdown on Venice with a local by your side and discover the secrets of the iconic and oh-so-Italian aperitivo. Drink like a Venetian at some of the most authentic bacari wine bars, cross the famous canal in a traghetto gondola (like the locals do) and explore the heart of the city – Rialto.
Day 4 - Treviso
After breakfast, hop aboard an electric boat and take the helm yourself. As you cruise along the calm waters, you’ll pass by fabulous villas and the beautiful Cimitero dei Burci – a semi-submerged graveyard of abandoned wooden barges, now reclaimed by nature. After, maybe join your fellow travellers for one last lunch – a great way to say arrivederci to your time in Italy. As there are no further activities this afternoon, your adventure comes to an end. If you would like to stay longer, just speak to your booking agent ahead of time.
