FIT TOUR
RIDING THROUGH ITALY'S FLAVORS
Italy's four icons through wine, olive oil, and lagoon vineyards — Rome, Florence, Bologna, Venice.
The journey
Nine days through Italy's four icons — Rome, Florence, Bologna, Venice — connected by high-speed train. A golf cart food tour through Rome's Testaccio Market, Michelangelo's David at the Accademia, a private vintage drive through the Tuscan hills with olive oil tasting, the medieval streets of Bologna with a wine experience in the surrounding wine country, a winery in the Venetian lagoon, and a private gondola ride to close. Italy's classics, lived through wine, oil, and the lifestyle that comes with them.
Highlights
- Rome by golf cart with Testaccio Market A guided food tour through Rome's neighborhoods with stops at the city's most authentic market — tastings, stories, no walking.
- Accademia Gallery small-group tour Skip-the-line guided visit to see Michelangelo's David and the unfinished Slaves. The masterpieces, without the wait.
- Vintage Fiat 500 drive through Tuscany with olive oil tasting A 2-hour private vintage Fiat 500 tour through the Tuscan hills — vineyard views, country roads, ending with olive oil tasting at a local farm.
- Bologna wine country experience A full day in the Bologna wine region — guided tasting at a local producer in the rolling hills just outside the city, with lunch.
- Venissa lagoon winery with Vaporetto Pass A visit to the lagoon's only working winery — vineyards on a Venetian island, paired with a 24-hour vaporetto pass to roam Venice by water.
- Private gondola ride in Venice A private gondola through Venice's quieter canals — the city from the water, without the shared boat or the queue.

Selling tips
-
The wine angle — three regions, three different stories
Tuscan hills with olive oil, Bologna's wine country with a guided tasting, and a working winery on a Venetian lagoon island. Three distinct wine experiences, each in its own region — the angle for clients who travel through wine, not just with a glass at dinner.
-
Bologna in the itinerary — beyond the usual circuit
Most Iconic Italy tours go Rome–Florence–Venice. This one inserts Bologna and its wine country between Florence and Venice — adding a region most American clients haven't seen, with a wine experience that complements rather than repeats the others.
- Private gondola, not shared boat Venice closes with a private gondola — the kind of inclusion clients picture when they imagine Venice. A clear differentiator vs tours that include shared lagoon boats or evening cruises with strangers at the next table.
