This trip will spend ten days  exploring the best of Italy. We will start in Rome, move next to Umbria then to Tuscany & Florence and finally to Venice. Italy is my favorite European country and we will see it from a photographer's point of view. We will have an English speaking driver and/or guide and our own vehicle for transportation around the area. Our outfitter  is aware of our photo mission and our guide will strive to get us to the best locations during the best light. We will be a small group able to travel on old narrow roads and stay together when walking. Our outfitter has custom designed this trip with our goals in mind.  Follow this link for the detailed itinerary.

All accommodations will be in 4 or 5 star hotel and include breakfast each day.

City Taxes

Price Fluctuations

This trip is billed in Euros by our outfitter.  The US dollar prices listed here are based on a conversion factor of  € 1  =  $ 1.4.  As that conversion factor changes (up or down), the price will be adjusted according. The price will be locked to the conversion factor on the day the final payment is due.

Minimum Enrollment

Due to outfitter constraints and transportation requirements, a minimum of 5 people is required for this trip to operate.  Since our deposits are non refundable from the outfitter, we will not formally book the trip until we have the required minimum number.

We will also consider other options before canceling.  Do not purchase flight tickets until the minimum is met.
