Traveling through Rome, Florence, Pisa, San Gimignano, Verona, Venice and more, guests are invited to explore the best cities and picturesque villages of Italy, enjoying Trafalgar’s unequalled Insider Experiences along the way. Highlights include savoring delicious Chianti wine over a unique Be My Guest dinner at the home of a local Italian family in the rolling Tuscan Hills; gaining cultural insight into Italian cuisine by shopping at a local market with charismatic Chef Libero for a cooking class back at his restaurant; and joining the tens of thousands participating in the inspiring Susan G. Komen Italia Race for the Cure® 5K walk/run in Rome, now the largest Race for the Cure® event in the world.
Starting at $3,699 per person (land only)*, the 11-day Pink Ribbon Italy Trip offers travelers a stress-free way to experience the best of Italy to support a good cause. The vacation package includes quality hotel accommodations, many meals, luxury coach transportation, the expertise of a local Travel Director and sightseeing with VIP entry to the icons plus unique Insider Experiences, only from Trafalgar.
