Monograms 3 Nights Rome & 3 Nights Venice(DIV)
7
All roads lead to Rome. Or wait, on this vacation they lead to
Venice as well, so you can enjoy two of Italy’s captivating cities. You won’t travel between the cities on a road, though. We’ve arranged for you to travel via high-speed train from
Rome to Venice. We’ve also arranged three nights hotel reservations in each city, guided sightseeing, buffet breakfast daily, transfers to/from your hotels, to/from the train stations, and the services of a Local Host® in each city, a “friend” who will help answer questions, offer suggestions and help you get the most out of your vacation. Your first Local Host will meet you upon your arrival at your Rome hotel, present you with materials on the city, and answer any questions you have about your destination.
