Itinerary
I will be visiting all of the cities soon to make the arrangements for the tour. The hotels are all booked so the dates will not change. The tour will include bed and breakfast at the hotels, daily lunch or dinners with drinks included, in Venice, airport transfers, private coach transfers between cities, guided city tours, and museum entrances.
