Cross two countries and five compelling European cities in ten days, following a route designed around places worth experiencing rather than the cheapest connections between them. Begin in Rome and continue through Italy’s celebrated coast and cultural centres, including a memorable morning among the villages of Cinque Terre, before following the Riviera toward Barcelona. The pace allows time to absorb each city instead of treating it as another stop on a checklist, balancing major capitals with coastal landscapes and smaller historic settings. This journey suits travellers who want a polished European route with strong variety, purposeful pacing and fewer logistical distractions—moving naturally from Italy’s classical landmarks to the Mediterranean character of southern France and Spain.

- ✦Skip-the-line Colosseum & Vatican — private guided, both days

Itinerary & Route
Your first hours in Rome are spent outdoors, not in a hotel lobby. After the airport transfer, the group heads straight into the evening — an orientation walk to the Trevi Fountain and Spanish Steps while both are lit and relatively quiet. It’s a deliberate start: no lectures, no museums, just the city at its most atmospheric. Welcome dinner follows at a traditional Roman trattoria in the neighbourhood.
Trevi Fountain & Spanish Steps (evening walk) — Rome rewards you most before the crowds arrive; this evening circuit sets the right pace for the days ahead. No entry tickets, no queues — just the city as it actually feels.
