Visions

Following the fabled Appian Way, your tour enters Rome, lingering over Saint Peter's Square, the Coliseum, and bustling piazzas. It glides over Florence's red-orange roofs, dominated by Santa Maria del Fiore's magnificent dome. Then Naples offers up its limpid-blue harbor dotted by the isles of Ischia and Capri.

As a part of Italy but very much a land unto itself, Sicily has always defied categorization. With its unique and dramatic beauty shaped by powerful volcanic forces and its culture influenced by conquerors throughout the centuries, it is a place like no other.

A seamless sojourn following the rugged western coastline to the toe of the "boot" at Reggio di Calabria and then back inland over the countryside to Rome.

Features the unusual, the unexpected, and the incomparable. See the smoldering crater of the Nissiros volcano, ancient marketplaces, hilltop towns, old fishing villages, and much more!

Travel from Corfu to Crete, Meteora to Mikonos, the Peloponnese, Rhodes, Santorini, Thessaloniki, and many other glorious destinations along the way.

The tour begins in the Alps at the northern border and continues through Lombardy to Genoa, along the Ligurian coast to Portofino, then inland over the Tuscan countryside to Florence. After dipping into Umbria, the tour turns northeast, culminating in Venice.
