Savings only GCT can offer: Heart of Italy from just $131 a day!

There is a side of Italy most Americans never see. At the foot of the Euganean Hills in the Veneto sits Abano, a contemporary spa town designed to set any mind at peace. In southern Tuscany, the hilltown of Chianciano awaits with its relaxed atmosphere and medieval Old Town. On this Escorted Tour, you’ll have five nights in each to do as you please, be it relaxing or discovering your surroundings with us on optional tours: romantic Venice … Shakespeare's Verona ...Vincenza, with its Palladian architecture … Ravenna, with its startling mosaics ... Assisi, home to the immortal St. Francis ... and more. You can also discover medieval Siena and Renaissance Pienza on optional tours. Add to that six included tours, and our exclusive Discovery Series events, and this vacation is sure to tempt any traveler wishing to discover the true Italy.
