Your Italian journey begins with a seamless and elegant arrival in Venice. Upon landing at the airport, you are warmly greeted by a professional driver and escorted to a private van for a comfortable transfer to the pier. From there, a private water taxi awaits, offering a truly iconic introduction to Venice as you glide across the lagoon and through its canals directly to your hotel.

After check-in, take some time to settle in and recharge following your flight, enjoying a moment of relaxation before your first Venetian experiences unfold. Once refreshed, set out on a gentle stroll through Venice’s historic center, where narrow alleyways, charming bridges, and picturesque squares reveal the timeless beauty of the city. This unhurried walk allows you to absorb the unique atmosphere, admire historic façades, and begin discovering the rhythm of Venetian life.

As evening approaches, the day culminates with a gondola ride along the canals. Drifting quietly over the water as the city lights begin to glow, you experience Venice from its most enchanting perspective—an unforgettable way to mark the start of your Italian adventure.

A free day in Venice is less about checking off sights and more about drifting—letting the city reveal itself through quiet canals, echoing footsteps, and little discoveries around each corner.

Morning: soft light and empty streets
Start early, when Venice is at its most peaceful. Wander toward St. Mark’s Square before the crowds arrive. The pale morning light on St. Mark’s Basilica and the gentle lapping of water set the tone for the day. Grab a simple breakfast—an espresso and a pastry at a tucked-away café—and enjoy the stillness.

From there, don’t rush. Cross the iconic Rialto Bridge, then deliberately get lost in the narrow streets. Some of the best moments in Venice come when you have no idea where you are.

Late morning: canals and neighborhoods
Take a vaporetto (water bus) ride along the Grand Canal. It’s the most affordable way to experience the grandeur of Venice from the water. Get off in a quieter district like Dorsoduro, where you’ll find a more local, relaxed atmosphere.

Pop into small artisan shops or just sit by a canal and watch daily life—delivery boats, gondoliers chatting, locals going about their routines.

Lunch: slow and local
Find a cozy trattoria away from the main tourist paths. Try cicchetti (Venetian tapas) or a seafood pasta. Take your time—meals here are meant to be enjoyed slowly.

Afternoon: art or island escape
You’ve got options depending on your mood:

• If you want culture, visit Peggy Guggenheim Collection for modern art in a beautiful canal-side palace.

• If you prefer something more peaceful, hop on a boat to Burano, famous for its brightly colored houses, or Murano, known for glassmaking.

Late afternoon: golden hour magic
Head back toward the water as the light softens. Venice glows in the late afternoon. Walk along a quiet fondamenta (canal-side walkway), or sit with a drink and watch the reflections shimmer.

Evening: simple pleasures
As night falls, Venice becomes calm again. Enjoy dinner at a small restaurant, then take a slow stroll. Seeing landmarks like Doge’s Palace softly lit at night feels completely different from the daytime bustle.

Begin your day in Venice with a smooth and memorable departure. A private water taxi collects you directly from your hotel, gliding through the canals toward the train station—one last, beautiful perspective of the lagoon city as you travel in comfort and style. Upon arrival, you board a high-speed train bound for Florence, enjoying a fast and relaxing journey through the Italian countryside.

Arriving in Florence, the rest of the day is yours to explore at your own pace.

As evening approaches, Florence reveals its warm and convivial side. At dinner time, we are delighted to offer personalized suggestions for restaurants where you can savor authentic Florentine cuisine—from traditional trattorias serving bistecca alla fiorentina and handmade pasta, to charming local spots loved by residents. It’s the perfect way to end your day, enjoying the flavors and atmosphere of Tuscany in one of Italy’s most enchanting cities.

A free day in Florence feels like stepping into a living museum—except it’s also full of cafés, chatter, and the smell of fresh espresso drifting through narrow streets.

Morning: slow start with beauty everywhere
Begin your day early with a cappuccino and pastry at a local bar. Then head toward Florence Cathedral (the Duomo). Seeing Brunelleschi’s Dome in the morning light is unforgettable. If you’re up for it, climb to the top—the views over the terracotta rooftops are worth the effort.

Afterward, wander through the historic center. Florence is compact, so just walking aimlessly will lead you past incredible sights like Piazza della Signoria, an open-air gallery of statues and history.

Late morning: art or markets
Choose your vibe:

• Art lovers can dive into Uffizi Gallery to see masterpieces by Botticelli and Leonardo da Vinci.

• If you prefer something more lively, explore Mercato Centrale, where you can browse local foods, cheeses, and fresh produce.

Lunch: Tuscan comfort
Sit down at a trattoria and try something classic—like ribollita (vegetable soup) or a hearty pasta. Or keep it casual with a panino stuffed with local meats and cheese.

Afternoon: across the river
Walk over the iconic Ponte Vecchio, lined with jewelry shops, and head into the quieter Oltrarno district. This side of Florence feels more local and less crowded.

If you want a relaxing break, visit Boboli Gardens for greenery, sculptures, and views over the city. Or simply sit in a small square with a gelato and watch life go by.

Late afternoon: views and golden light
Make your way up to Piazzale Michelangelo. This is one of the best panoramic viewpoints in Florence, especially as the sun begins to set and the whole city turns golden.

Evening: food and atmosphere
Head back down for dinner. Florence shines at night—warm lights, buzzing restaurants, and a relaxed pace. Enjoy a proper Tuscan meal, maybe with a glass of Chianti.

After dinner, take a final stroll past the Duomo or along the Arno River. The crowds thin out, and the city feels intimate and timeless.

On this day you will be provided of tickets for visiting the Accademia delle Belle Arti where the Worldwide statue of David awaits.

The experience begins with a warm welcome from your hosts and a short introduction to Tuscan cuisine and seasonal ingredients. During the hands-on private cooking class, you prepare a traditional multi-course meal under expert guidance. Recipes may include homemade pasta, classic sauces, seasonal vegetables, and a traditional dessert, all made using fresh, locally sourced ingredients. The pace is relaxed and fully personalized, with plenty of time to learn techniques, ask questions, and enjoy the process.

Once the cooking is complete, you sit down to enjoy the meal you’ve prepared, served with local Tuscan wines and olive oil produced in the region. Dining at the villa is a highlight in itself—simple, convivial, and deeply rooted in local tradition.

After the experience, your private driver is ready to take you back to Florence, allowing you to relax and reflect on the flavors and memories of the day. It’s a perfect blend of comfort, culture, and cuisine—an intimate Tuscan experience that feels both exclusive and genuinely local.

Time here is completely at your own pace, giving you the freedom to explore the city’s medieval streets, admire Piazza del Campo, and visit the magnificent Siena Cathedral without feeling rushed. As June 2nd is a national celebration, the city may be animated by special events, ceremonies, or small parades, adding color, music, and a lively local spirit to your visit.

It’s a welcoming and convivial pause, perfectly situated between the two towns.

In the afternoon, you reach San Gimignano, the iconic hill town known for its medieval towers.
