TUSCANY, LAKE MAGGIORE & THE ITALIAN RIVIERA.

October 16-24, 2026

From the shores of Lake Maggiore to the sun-soaked coast of the Italian Riviera and the rolling hills of Tuscany, a romantic rendezvous with Italia awaits. Throughout your journey, discover a land rich in history, culture, and cuisine.

As we welcome the start of summer with a sunrise toast to the solstice from legendary Stonehenge, you'll be joined by druid priests, musicians, dancers and others partying the morning away.

But since it's the longest day of the year, we can't stop the party at noon, so what better way to recharge than a hot soak in the Roman Baths that gave the coolest city in England it's name—Bath.

Since we're U.S. tourists and are held to a higher standard, we will rock the town of Bath as we party the night away.

Don't think this is just checking off the greatest party wish on your bucket list—it is—but you'll also experience historic Cambridge-the beauty of Southern Wales, the majestic Mount Snowden in North Wales and the stunning coastline along the Irish Sea.

Tour Activity Level: 3 (Active)

You're an on-the-go traveler. You don't want to miss a thing, so walking and standing for longer periods of time (2-3 hours) isn't a big deal. A moderately paced 2.5 hour walking tour, covering several miles, hills, and uneven surfaces, is no problem. Walking 4 miles over the course of a day is very doable, as is climbing into and out of various modes of transportation (tuk-tuk, cable car, zodiac, etc.). You can climb three flights of stairs easily and handle altitudes between 6,000 and 9,000 feet. Expect some longer days balanced with free time to recharge or set out on your own adventure. This level is not a fit for travelers who require mobility assistance devices.
