OPTIONAL EXPERIENCES
When asked whats the biggest mistake we make in life, the buddha replied: The biggest mistake is you think you have time. Time is free, but its priceless. You can't own it but you can use it. You can't keep it but you can spend it, and once it's lost, you can never get it back.
Our tour includes a full range of sights and experiences — but if you’d like to enhance your journey even further, here are some optional experiences available to you.
These additions give you the chance to dive deeper — whether it’s through local food, cultural highlights, or unique places not included in the main itinerary. You’ll find all the descriptions listed below.
For all optional experiences, you’re very welcome to decide and book during the tour — payment for all will be made on the spot.
Take a look below and see what interests you — and as always, I’m here to help with any questions. Let’s make this journey truly unforgettable!
Piazzas & Fountains of Rome
49 EUR
Step into the heart of Rome, where every corner feels like a film set. Begin at the Spanish Steps, a sweeping staircase surrounded by designer boutiques and lively cafés. Continue to the Trevi Fountain, where baroque statues tower over the rushing water and tradition calls for tossing a coin.
From there, wander through charming side streets lined with gelaterias and ivy-draped façades, passing by the Pantheon — its massive columns a reminder of Rome’s ancient power. The walk ends at Piazza Navona, famous for its elegant fountains, open-air artists, and relaxed café culture.
Between these landmarks are the small moments that make Rome unforgettable: hidden courtyards, ornate doorways, and the hum of daily life in the city’s most beautiful historic quarter.
Roman Evening with Dinner
77 EUR
Enjoy a wonderful evening in a lively local restaurant — the kind Romans choose for themselves. Far from the tourist spots, this welcoming venue serves a four-course menu of classic dishes, paired with wine and drinks.
The atmosphere is full of life, with music adding to the mood and the company making the night even more memorable. A relaxed, authentic Roman night out with great food, great flavors, and great friends — all with tips included.
Gondolas and the Grand Canal
93 EUR
Begin your Venice visit in style with a luxury speedboat ride along the Grand Canal — the city’s main waterway and once the wealthiest address in Europe. Lined with centuries-old palaces and historic facades, it’s the perfect way to take in the floating city’s grandeur.
From St. Mark’s Square, step into a traditional gondola for a peaceful glide through the narrow back canals. Away from the crowds, you’ll see Venice at its most authentic — quiet waterways, arched bridges, and glimpses of daily life behind the façades.
An unforgettable first taste of the city, combining its most famous sights with its most intimate corners.
50 EUR
Venice was built to be hidden. A maze of alleys, bridges, and canals designed not just to enchant — but to protect. It still guards its secrets well.
This walk, guided by a Venetian local, begins where the crowds don’t go. You’ll step into quiet backstreets, across stone bridges barely wide enough for two. You’ll see how the old city functioned — and how it still does. From private wells in forgotten courtyards to homes where generations have lived without roads, Venice reveals itself slowly, in details.
You’ll learn how residents move, work, and adapt in this improbable place. Where post arrives by boat. Where high tide still dictates the rhythm of the day. Where ancient systems meet daily life.
The walk ends where Venice shows its full face: St. Mark’s Square. After the stillness, its grandeur feels earned — and different. You’ve seen the city behind the mask.
Lagoon Cruise with Lunch at Burano Island
86 EUR
Discover the Venice most visitors never see with a cruise through the northern section of the lagoon. Along the way, you’ll pass islands with unique histories and purposes — from farmland and vineyards to monasteries and fishing villages — each offering a glimpse into life beyond the city’s canals.
Your destination is Burano, the most colorful and picturesque island in the lagoon. Famous for its brightly painted houses and centuries-old lace-making tradition, Burano feels like a small-town escape from Venice’s bustle.
Enjoy a full seafood lunch in a family-run restaurant, featuring the day’s fresh catch. Non-seafood alternatives are available, ensuring everyone can enjoy this three-in-one experience of scenery, culture, and cuisine.
Michelangelo’s David
62 EUR
Start the morning with exclusive first entry to Florence’s Accademia Gallery — the world’s first Academy of Fine Arts — before it opens to the public. This early access allows you to enjoy its masterpieces in a calm, crowd-free setting.
At the heart of the gallery stands Michelangelo’s David, the most celebrated sculpture of the Renaissance. Seeing it up close reveals every detail — from the tension in his stance to the lifelike veins in the marble — making it easy to understand why this work has captivated the world for centuries.
Also on display are Michelangelo’s Prisoners (or Slaves), powerful unfinished sculptures that seem to emerge from rough stone, offering a glimpse into the artist’s process and vision.
A rare opportunity to experience two of Michelangelo’s most important works in an intimate and unforgettable way.
Visit to San Gimignano
43 EUR
A short drive from Florence takes you to San Gimignano, often called the most beautiful hilltop town in Italy. Famous for its medieval towers, the town’s skyline rises above the Tuscan countryside like a scene from another century.
Inside its ancient walls, cobbled streets lead to lively piazzas, artisan shops, and cafés. The towers, once symbols of power and protection, now frame panoramic views over vineyards and rolling hills.
With its blend of history, architecture, and atmosphere, San Gimignano offers a true step back in time — a magical escape well worth the visit during your stay in Florence.
Sorrento Countryside and Farmhouse Meal
75 EUR
Just beyond Sorrento’s busy waterfront lies a quieter side of the region — the hills and farmland that locals rely on but visitors rarely see. This evening, we head into that countryside for a visit to a working family farm.
It’s not a showpiece — it’s a real operation. Chickens roam, olive trees line the slopes, and everything you’ll eat is grown, made, or raised right here. We’re welcomed by Signora Maria, who prepares fresh mozzarella by hand every morning — the same cheese she sells to neighbors and local shops. Today, she’ll show us how it’s done.
We’ll tour the farm, meet the animals, and get a hands-on look at daily life. In the outdoor kitchen, you’ll see how traditional pizza is made — dough, sauce, the works — followed by a full meal cooked with ingredients straight from the land.
It’s a simple, authentic experience. No frills, no filters. Just local food, a beautiful setting, and the people who make it all happen.
Discover the Isle of Capri
58 EUR
Capri reveals its true self only when you meet it from the water.
This experience unfolds aboard a private boat that takes you around the island’s legendary coastline — the way Capri was meant to be seen. Arches carved by centuries of waves. Cliffs that fall straight into electric-blue seas. Hidden coves and sea caves that shimmer like glass. And, of course, the Faraglioni: those iconic stone pillars rising from the deep, guardians of Capri’s ancient story.
It’s Capri without crowds, without shops — just the wind, the salt, and the slow, cinematic rhythm of the boat as we glide along its edges.
In case of bad weather, when the sea does not allow us to sail, the experience shifts to Capri’s second great perspective: the hilltop village of Anacapri, with its sweeping island views and timeless atmosphere. Different in form, but no less unforgettable.
Capri is best understood when you step away from it — whether from the sea below or the heights above.
