RAIL HOLIDAYS
Independent Rail Packages Escorted Rail Packages
The Italian Rail System - The Italian railway system is one of the most important parts of the infrastructure of Italy. With few exceptions all trains are part of the national rail line, Trenitalia. Fast trains “Frecce” run only between major cities. Seat reservations on fast trains are compulsory and usually included in your ticket price or purchased separately when you are traveling on a Rail Pass.
Our rail packages exploring Italy provide two different travel styles where on one hand you explore the various Italian regions following an itinerary of your choice, at our own pace.
Or choose to join one of our carefully designed pre-planned Rail Itineraries departing on scheduled days of the week to enjoy our Smart Escorted/Travel Light Services.
With this arrangement you stay at our exclusive 4* hotels and your luggage is transferred from one hotel to the other as you follow a pre-planned itinerary traveling by rail. Your Tour Director escorting all participants on the program is available to assist with the planning of your day to day activities or leave you at your own pace to discover the wonders of the destination visited in the selected program.
We believe this (Smart Escorted/Travel Light Service) is perhaps the next step of traveling throughout a foreign destination without having to worry about your personal luggage transportation.

PANTHENON, ROME
The Pantheon is one of the most famous sights in Italy. The Pantheon is the best-preserved ancient Roman building in Rome. Largely because the Pantheon was turned into a church, it was kept remarkably well-preserved. The Pantheon dome remains the single largest, unreinforced concrete dome in the entire world. At about 142 feet in diameter, the Pantheon’s dome is bigger even than the dome of St. Peter’s Basilica. That makes it the single largest unreinforced, concrete dome in the entire world, built by the Romans in 125 A.D.

SIGHTSEEING TOURS

of a larger group for a short while (either for a half or full day) the small financial outlay expensed to experience what the tour has to offer far outweighs the option to experience the same with a dedicated private guide on an exclusive basis.

MILANMilan is about fashion, food and all things glamorous, proudly presenting the modern face of Italy and luring tourists with its sleek cityscape and cultural riches:
Travel to Milan to discover the 'alternative' Italy, for the city embodies everything that is chic and sophisticated in Italian culture, far removed from quaint Tuscan villages or warbling gondoliers. Milan is the home of haute couture and haute cuisine, world-class shopping, supreme opera, elegant skyscrapers, tasteful galleries and museums, and spacious piazzas. The proud denizens of this city seem to do everything with style and they know how to have fun: Milan has an energetic nightlife and a sophisticated clubbing scene.
Fashion fundis, shopaholics, opera-lovers and anyone who enjoys the finer things in life (and can afford to pay for them) will revel in a holiday in Milan. This is not to say there are no archaeological or historical treasures in the city; sightseers searching out the ancient and historic will find plenty of diversions. Art-lovers are drawn to Milan to see the masterpieces stored in its leading galleries and the piece de resistance, da Vinci's The Last Supper fresco, is in the refectory of the Santa Maria delle Grazie.
Day 5 | ZermattThe Gornergrat Bahn, Europe’s highest open-air cogwheel-railway, takes you up to the Gornergrat. On the Gornergrat viewing platform you find yourself surrounded by 29 peaks rising above 4000m as well as the famous Matterhorn. Overnight in Zermatt (B)
