Italy enchants in every season, offering something special no matter when you visit. Spring and fall are perfect for mild weather, colorful landscapes, and fewer crowds, ideal for leisurely strolls through history-soaked cities. Summer brings lively festivals and sun-drenched coastlines, inviting travelers to embrace Italy’s energy at its fullest. Winter reveals a quieter side, with festive holiday markets, cozy trattorias, and snow-capped mountains in the north. Whether you're chasing sunshine along the Amalfi Coast, marveling at Renaissance art in Florence, or skiing in the Dolomites, Italy is always ready to impress.
Italy’s train system is a practical and scenic way to explore the country. Routes connect major destinations, including Rome, Florence, Venice, and Naples, with frequent departures and central stations. Tickets are easy to book online or at kiosks, and traveling by rail means skipping traffic while enjoying stunning views along the way.
Rome is a must for ancient ruins, Florence showcases Renaissance masterpieces, and Venice’s canals are world-famous for a reason. Milan offers cutting-edge fashion and design, while the Amalfi Coast delivers breathtaking views. Tuscany’s vineyards provide the perfect countryside retreat, and Sicily’s deep-rooted traditions add a distinct charm. And when you’re ready to explore Italy’s lesser-known gems, Collette’s expert guides can show you the way.
We offer 14+ unique tours across Italy. Find your perfect trip!
Our tours are designed and led by destination experts who call these destinations home.

2025 Jubilee: The Holy Year

From day 1, everything went smoothly. We were greeted at the hotel by our wonderful tour manager, Giulio, who helped us settle in. We were given specific information on what was to happen every day we were there; everything was well organized. All of the places mentioned in the itinerary were visited, and all of the meals included were fresh and excellent. Each of the guides were excellent, knowledgeable, and are native Italians, passionate about the history and art of the country. Another important part of the trip was visiting the churches and entering through the Holy Doors, and being a part of the Pope's audience. Not only did my husband and I go to Italy because of the Jubilee year, but also to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary. The travel package from Collette was the perfect gift!

I loved the Reflections of Italy tour as were able to see a lot in a short amount of time. I loved Rome and all the religious tours, Venice, Florence, actually all of it for different reasons. I would recommend it to anyone who has a lot of energy and wants to see a lot in a short amount of time!

The tour was great. Loved the 2 day stays at each hotel. Great group of travelers that heeded the advice of the leader to totally omit politics from our conversations! Wonderful idea! So many really good experiences but if I have to pick one, I’d say going up Mount Etna was super and very unique! Thanks to David, our guide, who was both very knowledgeable and entertaining!

Enjoyed the pasta factory tour and lunch, as well as the changes in venue, from the business of Rome to relaxing Sorento and Stressa. Did not feel the experience for Murano glassblowing met my expectation; thought there would be more explanation of the skills of glassblowing & techniques. While making a purchase was asked which tour manager I was with, which implies they are getting a commission for sales. While in Stressa, a few people wanted to take the excursion to see the Alps, felt they were being pressured not to do it, but those who went really had a good time. Busdriver was also excellent, accomodating, and kind. When arriving in a new hotel, having a little more time to freshen up for dinner would be nice, did not feel appropriately dressed for dinner after traveling all day.

Truffle hunting Sitting in our down time on the Goudi Avenue in Barcelona Fragonard Purfumeur in Grasse My suggestions for improvement: I would like to have had less included meals. Some were delicious but some were just okay. My husband and would have preferred to select what we wanted to eat more times during the tour. We wanted more down time and a slower pace. In looking back, much of my favorite moments were when we stopped touring for even just a few minutes to enjoy a cup of delicious hot chocolate or green tea, in a quiet place, but even that was rushed and no time to linger or even finish our delicious drink. We had to leave to stay on schedule. That exact thing occurred twice on the tour and we were disappointment both times.

The flight duration from the United States to Italy depends on your departure city. Here are some estimates:
East Coast (New York, Washington, D.C.): Around 8 to 9 hours
West Coast (Los Angeles, San Francisco): Around 12 to 13 hours
Average flight time → About 11 hours
Collette’s expertly crafted tours ensure effortless travel in Italy, from high-speed trains to scenic drives through Tuscany and the Amalfi Coast.
The ideal trip length depends on what you want to see! A 7 to 10-day trip lets you explore major cities like Rome, Florence, and Venice at a relaxed pace. If you want a deeper dive into Tuscany, the Amalfi Coast, or Sicily, consider 10 to 14 days.
Italy is card-friendly, but carrying some cash is useful for small purchases, taxis, and places that don’t accept cards — especially in rural areas.
Traveling to Italy with dietary restrictions is manageable and enjoyable! Many restaurants are accommodating and offer a variety of naturally gluten-free, dairy-free, and vegan options. Please communicate any dietary needs when you book your tour. You should also share dietary restrictions with your Tour Manager once they contact you before the trip.
Italy is a year-round destination, but the best time to visit depends on your preferences.
April - May is one of the best times to visit, with mild weather, blooming flowers, and bustling cities.
June - August is peak tourist season, with warm to hot weather; major cities can be crowded and hot.
September - October is another excellent time to visit, with pleasant temperatures, harvest festivals, and crowds begin to decrease toward late October.
November - March is considered off-season, with cooler temperatures, fewer tourists and often offer lower tour prices.
Italy, being one of the world's top travel destinations, often has busy tourist sites, so travelers should be ready to navigate through crowds. In many historical centers, coaches are prohibited, necessitating significant walking over uneven cobblestone paths and navigating stairs without railings.
