EXCLUSIVE GRAND TOUR

TWO WEEKS ITINERARY IN ITALY

Italy is a country very rich in things to see, flavors to taste and experiences to live. The medieval villages scattered among the green hills, the enchanting beaches, snow-capped mountains and fashion cities. However, all these treasures in a relatively small area: just think that Rome and Milan, the two most important cities, are separated by only 550 km. More or less the distance between Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo, Philadelphia and Boston or Toronto and Montreal. In short, it is a tiny territory but full of incredible places, which a traveler from South America, United States or Canada will have no problem to explore.
