The big three of Italy are combined in one tour on the Italian Espresso and as the name suggests, it's a short, strong hit of all things Italian! Journey to the floating city of Venice to shop for Italian designer fashion and walk the tiny streets, Renaissance Florence for traditional Tuscan hospitality as well as art and architecture, and then return to Rome to walk in the footsteps of the Roman Emperors.
