Pompeii, one of Italy’s most impressive archaeological sites, was suddenly destroyed by the lava of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD and was brought back to light centuries later as an ancient Roman city. On this tour, accompanied by a licensed local guide, you will walk through stone streets and closely observe the traces of Roman life; you will experience daily life through baths, houses, frescoes, shops, and mosaics. After the Pompeii visit, we continue to Naples, the largest city in southern Italy. In this historic port city built on the slopes of Vesuvius, we will enjoy a panoramic city tour with our guide. You will have the chance to see important landmarks such as Castel Nuovo, the Royal Palace, San Carlo Theatre, Galleria Umberto, and Spaccanapoli from the outside.

After breakfast, we depart for Florence. On the way, guests who wish may join the Pisa Tour. Known in history as the birthplace of the Renaissance, Florence is one of the most important cultural centers not only of Italy but of the world, shaping European art and thought. Rising under the patronage of the Medici family, this city was home to and inspired many geniuses such as Dante Alighieri, Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo Buonarroti, and Botticelli. It also played a leading role in banking, textiles, and the arts, and at one time served as the capital of the Kingdom of Italy. During our city tour, we will see Florence’s masterpieces that combine Gothic and Renaissance architecture, including the Santa Maria del Fiore Cathedral (Duomo) and its impressive façade, the Baptistery, Giotto’s Bell Tower, Signoria Square, considered the political center of the city, Palazzo Vecchio (Signoria Palace) in the square, the sculpture-filled Loggia dei Lanzi, Uffizi Square, home to world-famous collections, the historic and elegant Ponte Vecchio Bridge over the Arno River, Piazza della Repubblica, which connects the city’s modern and historical fabric, and San Lorenzo Market, known for local products.

Day 4: Florence – Verona – Venice
After breakfast, we depart for Venice. Guests who wish may join the Verona & Garda Lake Tour en route. After the tour, we continue to Venice. From Tronchetto port, the final vehicle access point, we take a vaporetto to the historic island. After an enjoyable vaporetto ride, we begin our tour among the canals, disembarking near St. Mark’s Square, the historical center of the city. Here, where motor vehicles are absent and boats replace the everyday vehicles we are used to seeing—police, ambulances, garbage trucks, municipal buses, etc.—we walk from the quayside toward St. Mark’s Square. Along the way, you can see the Venice Prison and the Bridge of Sighs connecting the prison to the Doge’s Palace, San Giorgio Island across the bridge, and the twin columns in front of the main façade of the Doge’s Palace, considered the gateway to the city, topped with the symbols of Venice. The square where St. Mark’s Basilica stands was called “the most beautiful square in the world” by Napoleon. Although the basilica was completed in the 9th century, it took until the 17th century to reach its current form. The four bronze horses on the front façade were brought from Istanbul after the Fourth Crusade. During your free time, you can watch the statues atop the clock tower striking the bells on the hour and climb the bell tower for a panoramic view of Venice. In addition, guests who wish may join the optional Burano Island Tour. After the tour, free time. Then we transfer to our hotel, check in, and overnight in Venice.
Optional Tour: Verona & Garda Tour — Per Person: 50 Euro
We see the administrative palace of the Verona Duchy, which remained under the Venice Republic for centuries; the Erbe Square, which still serves as a marketplace today as it did historically; and the second-largest amphitheater in Italy after Rome’s Colosseum, located in Erbe Square. Passing through Verona’s shopping streets, paved with marble to display wealth, we see the palace where Dante Alighieri lived during his exile. After seeing the Scaligero family tombs that ruled Verona, we panoramically view the house where Romeo and Juliet, inspired William Shakespeare, were born. After a short free time, we head to Lake Garda, the largest lake in Italy.
Lake Garda captivates with its natural beauty, peaceful atmosphere, and lakeside scenery. Here, you can take a walk by the lake, photograph the unique views, and enjoy the refreshing breeze. After free time, we return to our bus and complete the tour.
Optional Tour: Burano Island Tour — Per Person: 35 Euro
Burano Island, the most colorful corner of the Venice Lagoon, has a fascinating atmosphere with its colorful houses and peaceful streets. After a short walk with our guide on the island, free time will be given. You can browse Burano’s famous handmade lace, stroll among the pastel-colored houses, and enjoy a coffee by the water. With its silence, simplicity, and fairy-tale appearance, Burano adds a calm yet unforgettable memory to your Venice trip.
Day 5: Venice – Lake Como and Town – Milan
After breakfast, we depart for Milan. Upon arrival in Milan, we begin our city tour. Milan is not so much dazzling as it is stylish, not so much creative as it is affluent. It is undoubtedly the lifeblood of the Italian economy and one of Italy’s most remarkable cities. On our panoramic Milan city tour, we will see the Milan Castle, “Castello Sforzesco”; the “Galleria,” one of the first covered shopping arcades in Europe and a landmark that marked the 19th-century Industrial Revolution. The famous French engineer Gustave Eiffel was inspired by it when designing the Eiffel Tower in Paris. The Duomo, where Gothic art is vividly visible, is the fourth-largest church in the world with more than 2,000 statues on its façade. On the fashion-centered streets of via Monte Napoleone and via la Spiga, you can admire the richness of the shop windows. After free time, guests who wish may join our Lake Como and Town Tour. After the tour, we transfer to our hotel and overnight in Milan.
Optional Tour: Lake Como and Town Tour — Per Person: 40 Euro
Lake Como, located about 1.5 hours from Milan, is a pleasant region known for its natural beauty and calm atmosphere. On this tour, we arrive in Como town, take a short walk with our guide, and then give guests free time for shopping and exploring.
Day 6: Milan – Bergamo – Istanbul
After breakfast, check-out from the rooms and transfer to Bergamo Airport at a time to be determined by our guides. Guests who wish may join the Medieval Bergamo Tour en route.

After a comfortable flight, arrival at Sabiha Gökçen Airport at 16:25 and the end of our tour. We hope to see you on another organization.
Optional Tour: Medieval Bergamo Tour — 30 Euro
Located at the foot of the Alps, Bergamo, which bears traces of the Middle Ages, is notable for its divided structure: modern Bergamo Bassa (lower town) and historic Bergamo Alta (upper town). On our panoramic city tour, the places to be seen panoramically include Viale Roma Street, the Città Alta area surrounded by historic walls, Piazza Vecchia, the Colleoni Chapel, and the Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore.

If a visa application has not been made, a refund will be made for the visa and travel health insurance upon cancellation. If the guest purchased domestic flight connections from a different provider independent of Wtatil, they cannot claim any refund from Wtatil in case of tour cancellation by Wtatil. The guest preemptively accepts any material and moral losses arising from the cancellation of the tour when purchasing the tour and cannot hold Wtatil responsible.

46- Being exempt from a visa for entry into the countries in this tour does not mean you can enter/exit the country, as the border police have the authority to refuse you entry or exit, and Wtatil is not responsible for this; the responsibility lies with the passenger.
47- Guests who are not Turkish citizens or those with dual nationality who will participate in the tour using a passport of another country must consult the relevant consulates about the visa procedures applicable to the country they will be traveling to.
