Later, you’ll meet up with your Travel Director and fellow travelers for a glimpse into what lies ahead. There’s even time for a leisurely stroll to one of the city’s thronging piazzas to people-watch or to join a Choice Experience dinner in a Roman trattoria.

The Jewels of Italy tour went to the cities that let you experience the essence of this beautiful country. I was very happy with the optional tours that were offered like the dinner in a Tuscan Winery and in Burano. It was a very memorable trip.
