Explore Rome From Below

Descend three levels beneath Rome for a subterranean exploration of 2,000 years of history. See the unique Church of San Clemente, as well as the catacombs of San Sebastian.

Make a Venetian Mask

Pay a guided visit to a Venetian mask-making studio, where you hear about the significance and history of the art form from experts at the craft. Under an artisan’s watchful eye, make a mask of your own, be it inspired by Carnival, theater, modern times or daily Venetian life.

Enjoy a Private Cooking Class in a Family Home

Stroll through a local food market alongside your local host, who then welcomes you into her home. After discovering firsthand how to prepare time-honored Tuscan dishes — including pasta, sauce, a main course and dessert — sit down to the lunch you prepared.

Walk Pisa & Bike Lucca’s City Walls

Travel by private vehicle to Pisa, where you take a guided tour of the Piazza dei Miracoli and Leaning Tower. After lunch at leisure, travel to the beautiful, preserved town of Lucca to bike its city walls.
