There's a reason Italy is regularly our most popular destination, this country offers something for everyone - amazing art and history, beautiful coasts, mountains and lakes and, of course, fabulous food. From remarkable Renaissance cities such as Florence and Pisa, to ancient treasures including Rome’s forum and Sicily’s Valley of the Temples and natural wonders such as Mount Etna and the Dolomites, there is so much to explore. These classic and small group tours will help you discover the highlights and lesser known corners with ease. Plus, with spring one of the best times to visit, before the summer temperatures (and crowds) appear, you could be sipping chianti in a piazza sooner than you think…
