Discover a lesser-explored area of Italy and venture across the border into Slovenia. Storybook scenery, manicured vineyards and Roman ruins await on our Grand Tour.

We're all about seeing more of the world - not just the world-famous landmarks, but the places most tourists haven't heard about too. And this Grand Tour is sure to be something new for even the most discerning traveller. We'll begin tucked away in the northeast, where Italy borders Austria and Slovenia. Friuli boasts a heady mix of landscapes from the snowy peaks of the Dolomites and the Julian Alps in the north, to the fertile plains that make up its centre, to the rugged Adriatic coast of the south. Here, we'll explore charming Italian towns and cities, to uncover more of the country's enchanting culture.

Then it's on to Slovenia. It may be one of the smallest countries in central Europe, but it's home to incredible diversity, and our Grand Tour encompasses the best this Balkan beauty has to offer, including the picturesque Lake Bled.

This holiday is perfect for travellers with an interest in history, art and nature.
