Below is a sample 8-night itinerary of a classical Italian vacation including the cities of Rome, Florence & Venice. 

The itinerary is designed as a proposal for a traveler who has indicated an interest in exploring the cultural aspects of these iconic Italian cities. Therefore, the activities center on art, history and food and wine. 

For itineraries focusing on other interests, please contact me at Zephyr Global Travels to develop the vacation perfect for you!

Some  unique experiences we've found for clients in recent years include: 

Getting an up-close view of the frescoes inside the Brancacci Chapel while restoration is underway. Small groups (limit of 8) are allowed up on the scaffolding to see the artwork that actually predates the Renaissance from meters away. Much closer than from the floor fifty feet below! 

Similar work is happening in Florence during 2023. Contact Zephyr Global Travels for more info today.

For the first time during the summer of 2022, visitors could enter Santa Maria del Fiore (or the Duomo) WITH the person who unlocks the doors to the sanctuary each morning. Imagine standing inside while the dawn breaks. It requires getting up before the sun, but it's a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Contact Zephyr Global Travels for details.
