Itinerary

Day 1: Overnight Flight

Pack your appetite for adventure (and pasta) and board your overnight flight to Italy. This is the time to rest up—new countries, cultures, and cuisines await.

Once one of the richest and largest maritime trade empires in the world, the sheer number of canals, bridges, and boats should come as no surprise. You’ll drop off your bags, stretch your legs, then venture over to an authentic neighborhood on the western side of Venice.

In the evening, enjoy a Welcome Dinner of local cuisine and drinks with fellow travelers at an authentic local spot. Afterwards, you’re free to take the party elsewhere!

1st-time traveler Thomas, traveled in Nov 2024

You will not go wrong booking this trip. As a first time flyer out of the country I couldn’t be more happy with how I spent my money. All the excursions and extra activities are worth the extra money. The food in the countries is perfect and the experience you can’t get anywhere...
