Why Choose a Touring Holiday in Italy

Rebecca Berzins on 02 July 2023
Ahhh Italy, there is a reason this famous boot-shaped country is a best-seller. I have blissful memories of driving along the meandering, lemon-clad Amalfi Coast roads gasping at one incredible view, believing it couldn’t be beaten, only to round the corner and be treated to another, then another….

Having travelled down from Rome the coastal air was a welcome change from the frenetic capital where ancient Roman ruins are perfectly juxtaposed with vibrant, European city life. City days were spent with the morning delving in to the lives of the great civilisation of the Roman Empire followed with afternoons people-watching from street-side aperitivo bars as the sun went down.

Of course no trip to Italy is complete without a gelato or two, but where is the best? The answer (in my opinion) is Gelateria Santa Trinita in Florence (if you dispute this then let me know your favourite). But of course there’s more than just Gelato to draw you to the Renaissance capital of Tuscany. Never have I felt so close to the history of art as when gazing at Michelangelo's statue of David in the Galleria dell'Accademia di Firenze.

But is there anywhere on earth quite like Venice? I recall skipping through the streets in joyful delight because it felt exactly walking in to a postcard. Discovering the magic with a local guide taking us on a Cicchetti & Wine Tour was a highlight of mine, exploring the key sights whilst feasting on Italian the tapas, as well as unearthing a few hidden spots that only the locals know about.
