Itinerary
4 Nights – Florence
3 Nights – Bologna
✈ UK – Florence (4 Nights): First we will fly you from the UK to Florence, and then meet you on arrival to take you to your hotel, where you will be staying for your first 4 Nights.
Situated on the banks of the Arno river, Florence is the birthplace of the Renaissance and is an art-lover’s dream, being home to a number of world-class art galleries such as the Uffizi Gallery which has an amazing collection of Renaissance sculptures and paintings by the likes of da Vinci, Francesca and Botticelli. You can also see famous works of art at the Palatina Gallery and the Accademia Gallery, which has Michelangelo’s masterpiece ‘David’ and many other stunning works of art. A large part of Florence is pedestrianised, so perfect for exploring on foot. Take in the sights of the Piazza della Signoria, the Palazzo Vecchio and the Piazza del Duomo whilst enjoying this beautifully preserved mediaeval city. Another ‘must-see’ is the Basilica di San Miniato al Monte which is situated just outside the city, on the top of a hill, but is well worth the trip for the incredible views and architecture.
🚂 Florence to Bologna (3 Nights): After checking out of your hotel in Florence, you’ll travel by train to Bologna, where you’ll be staying for a further 3 nights.
Bologna is a lively city, claimed by many to be Italy’s gastronomic capital. Wonder the endless arcades, and explore the various boutiques. Take in the cities many medieval and Renaissance buildings, and most of all enjoy the captivating dining experiences on offer.
✈ Bologna to UK: On your final day, we’ll transfer you to Bologna Airport, for your flights to the UK.

We haven’t been on our trip yet but based purely on the experience of booking the trip we are pleased with the result. It started with a bit of a hiccup as we spoke to a member of staff who never came back to us but when we reached back out again we were placed in the hands of Andy who has helped us book a 2 week trip to India including the golden triangle and then a few days on the beach. Andy was very patient with us with our changes to our tailor made holiday, even when we asked him to explore different areas only to revert back to the original plan. He also recommended moving the holiday back one week which created a saving of over £700 which meant we could upgrade the room for our beach stay in Goa. Andy was also available on weekends if we wanted to speak and regularly picked up the phone as opposed to keeping it to purely email dialogue. Hopefully the holiday will be amazing but based on the booking experience I would recommend eShores if you’re looking to book a tailor made holiday
