Italy Tours & Deals

Want time to indulge in some of Europe’s most luxe destinations? Starting in London, you’ll cruise through the continent with stops at Contiki’s exclusive newly-renovated French Château, exploring Barcelona’s gothic quarter, roaming the French Riviera & perfecting the art of pizza-making in Florence, not to mention discovering ancient wonders in Rome, Pompeii & Athens. Top it all off by spending 2-nights each on 4 of Greece’s most popular islands – Mykonos, Paros, Santorini, Ios & Athens – where charming villages, refreshing swim spots & sun-soaked beaches await.

We’ve been visiting Italy for decades, but it’s fair to say we’ve never put together an adventure quite like this. From Rome this one glides through Renaissance Florence and the glitzy Riviera, with cooking classes and historical monuments galore along the way. Then onto Naples and Pompeii, for a feast of pizza and Roman history, before hitting up the incomparable Amalfi coast. After cruising around some dazzling isles and visiting some lemon groves, we’ll head back to Rome. But we’re not done yet – not even close. Sicily beckons, with its valleys of ancient archaeological wonders, volcanoes to explore, coastal towns to fall in love with and all of the heavenly carbs we can fit in. After a full week on this paradise island, we’ll be head-over-heels for absolutely everything Italian. It’s called Ultimate Italy for a reason.
