Rome, Perugia, Assisi

From iconic landmarks to off-the-beaten-path experiences, see Italy in all its historic glory during this week-long trip.

Start in Rome: once the center of the entire Western world, now a must-see city teeming with history. From the Colosseum to Castel Gandolfo, explore architectural gems around every corner. Toss a coin in the Trevi Fountain and continue on to Perugia, capital of the Umbria region and an vibrant cultural hub. Fall in love with this lesser-known part of Italy as you enjoy chocolate creations and marvel at man-made waterfalls.

Due to national and/or religious holidays, some sites may be closed and your itinerary may be modified on the following dates in 2026: March 19, April 3-8, May 1, June 29, and August 14-15. These dates fluctuate each year—please contact us for more information.
