A Recent Guest's Description of the Dolce Vita Victual Tour:
“While staying in Lake Como, we enjoyed a guided boat tour past spectacular Italian villas and Bellagio. We breathed in the fresh Alpine air, shopped exclusive boutiques, and climbed to the top of Milan’s magnificent Duomo. Along the Italian Riviera, we cruised the coastline while sipping fine wines and soaking in breathtaking Mediterranean views, indulging in pesto, fresh seafood platters, and unforgettable selections of Italian meats and cheeses.”
“We also discovered Bassano del Grappa, a truly unique mountain village, before experiencing a romantic gondola ride through Venice. At the Colosseum, we walked in the footsteps of Roman gladiators and learned about epic battles, then tossed coins into the Trevi Fountain and made our wishes. Some of us even attended the Pope’s Mass at the Vatican. With two full days to explore Rome, we immersed ourselves in its magic. It was, without question, a trip of a lifetime.”
