Italy by Train

Italy exudes romance, from its breathtaking cities to its sun-kissed coast. It is a country that is world-renowned for its delicious culinary offerings and incredible wine, a place where centuries of history combines with fashion, art, and modern luxuries. Experience the wonder of Italy by train to explore the country's top destinations and to fall in love with the Italian culture.

Italy tours feature cities such as Rome, Florence, Sorrento, Milan, Naples and Venice, and seaside destinations along the Amalfi Coast. Travelers may even experience the Old World charms of Sicily during their Italian adventure. In Rome, visit St. Peter's Square, see the Colosseum and Roman Forum, climb the Spanish Steps, and make a wish in the Trevi Fountain. Take time to relax in one of the city's many piazzas, enjoying some gelato or espresso while soaking in the ambiance. In Florence, visit the traditional leather markets, see Michelangelo's David at the Galleria dell'Accademia and seek out the Medici Chapel. Enjoy a romantic canal cruise in Venice or walk through St. Mark's Square to admire the intricate basilicas. Visit the island of Murano for some delicate glass souvenirs or travel by rail to the ruined city of Pompeii. Relax in Sorrento, the perfect place to begin your explorations of the colorful Amalfi Coast.

But it is not just destinations that are highlighted on an Italian train tour; instead, enjoy immersive experiences that introduce the best in the country. From cooking lessons in Rome to wine tastings in Tuscany and from visits to small towns in the Italian countryside to walking through Vatican City, there is no shortage of fantastic excursions. Enjoy these experiences and more with an exclusive Italy tour, or choose a vacation package that includes neighboring countries, such as France and Switzerland, to uncover the contrasts of Europe.

“This trip was absolutely beautiful and so much fun! From the very start we were assigned a contact person at Vacations by Rail who was with us all the way through our trip and once we got home. It was really nice to have a real person to communicate with who follows your whole experience. We booked this as our belated honeymoon. The tours were all wonderful and the tour guides were some of the nicest people we have ever met! The hotel accommodations were perfect from location to service to food. We appreciated the pace of the tours so that we could also take time to do our own excursions. Thank you Vacations by Rail! We will definitely be using your services again.

“This was our 2nd VBR trip. I loved it. The excursions and activities were great, everything went smoothly, guides were on time and courteous and helpful. The only thing I would change is for VBR to adjust the star rating on their hotels. We paid to upgrade to 4 star hotels. The hotel in Florence was great. The Rome hotel had fantastic staff and location but no amenities. And the Venice hotel was more like 2 star. But overall great trip. Would travel with them again.

“I would have said 5 stars but we were disappointed in the food. Our trip to the Vatican was horrible. We were pushed thru like sardines. Could not even appreciate being there. We felt like all in all it was too much for 11 days. Would of liked to have nore down time either in the mornings or evenings. The high note was Karen our guide. She was fabulous. Understanding, patient, and organized.
