Collette Vacations 'Rome & Florence Holiday' Tour (Italy)

About the Tour:
Italy is a land filled with history, culture, art and romance. There is no better time than the holiday season to experience the magic of Rome and Florence. Collette Vacations will take you on a week long tour to celebrate the holidays like never before.

The trip begins in Rome, “the Eternal City.” You'll be taken on a tour of Classical Rome visiting the Piazza Venezia, the Roman Forum, the Circus Maximus, the Colosseum and the Arch of Constantine. Contemporary highlights are also featured, including the legendary Spanish Steps and the beautiful Trevi Fountain. On one of the evenings you'll get to attend "Dinner with the Tenors", and enjoy a menu of regional delicacies and fine Italian wines during a live performance of opera classics. There'll be plenty of time on the agenda for you to experience some of Rome’s vibrant holiday cheer, or get some holiday shopping done. Rome has something for every taste from bustling outdoor markets and craftsman’s workshops to high end designer boutiques.

From Rome you will travel to the medieval walled city of Assisi where you'll be taken on a guided tour of the historic old city featuring the magnificent Basilica and ponder the spiritual meaning of the holidays in this church dedicated to St. Francis, founder of the Franciscan order of monks.

The last stop on the agenda is the spectacular capital of Tuscany, Florence. A cultural treasure-trove, Florence is filled with artistic and architectural gems. A local expert provides a leisurely-paced walking tour featuring the Piazza Del Duomo, the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore and the Baptistry. You also view the Palazzo Vecchio and the Church of Santa Croce, burial place of Michelangelo and Galileo. You'll have the opportunity to explore city's cultural riches in Florence's many museums or do last minute holiday shopping. The trip will conclude with a farewell dinner at a popular local restaurant.

Tour package:
The winner will receive an 8-day "Rome and Florence Holiday" tour package for two people on November 28 - December 5, 2008. The prize includes round-trip air transportation from within a Continental US Major Gateway, transfers, hotel accommodations for 6 nights (Hotel Palatino, Rome and Grand Hotel Baglioni, Florence), 9 meals (3 dinners and 6 breakfasts), and excursions during the trip.
