Tour detail
Day 1: Istanbul - Bergamo - Milan Meet our valued guests in front of the AJet counter at Sabiha Gökçen International Departures Terminal at 08:00. Depart for Bergamo at 11:05 on scheduled flight VF61. Upon arrival at 12:10, we head to Milan. After arriving in Milan, we begin our city tour. Rather than being attractive, Milan is a stylish city; rather than creative, it is a wealthy city. Undoubtedly, it is the heart of the Italian economy and one of the most remarkable cities in Italy. During our Milan city tour, we will see the Milan Castle, “Castello Sforzesco,” and the “Galleria,” one of the city’s historic landmarks, also known as the first covered shopping arcade in Europe, which marked the 19th-century industrial revolution. The famous French engineer Gustave Eiffel was inspired by this place when building the Eiffel Tower in Paris. The Duomo, where Gothic art can be seen intensely, is the fourth largest church in the world with over 2,000 sculptures on its façade. You can also admire the richness of the shop windows on the famous fashion streets “Via Monte Napoleone” and “Via La Spiga.” After free time, guests who wish may join our Lake Como and Town Tour. After the tour, we head to our hotel and overnight in Milan. Extra Tour: Lake Como and Town Tour per person: 40 EUR Lake Como, located about 1.5 hours from Milan, stands out for its natural beauty and tranquil atmosphere.

Day 2: Milan – Verona & Garda - Venice After breakfast, we depart for Venice. Guests who wish may join the Verona & Garda Lake Tour along the way. After the tour, we continue to Venice. From Tronchetto Pier, the final access point for vehicles, we take a vaporetto to the historic island. After an enjoyable vaporetto ride, we begin our tour through the canals by disembarking near St. Mark’s Square, the historic center of the city. In this city, where motor vehicles have been removed, everything we are used to seeing in daily life—police vehicles, ambulances, garbage trucks, municipal buses, etc.—has been replaced by boats. Walking from the quayside to St. Mark’s Square, you will see the Bridge of Sighs, which connects the Venice prison and the Doge’s Palace; San Giorgio Island opposite the bridge; and the twin columns at the main façade of the Doge’s Palace, which are regarded as the city’s gateway, along with the statues atop them, symbols of Venice. St. Mark’s Cathedral Square was described by Napoleon as “the most beautiful square in the world.” Although construction of the cathedral was completed in the 9th century, it took until the 17th century to reach its current form. The four bronze horses on its main façade were brought from Istanbul during the return of the Second Crusade. During your free time, you can watch the hourly show of the figures atop the clock tower striking the bell, and you can also climb the bell tower to enjoy a panoramic view of Venice. In addition, guests who wish may join the extra Burano Island Tour. After the tour, free time. Then we transfer to our hotel, check in, and overnight in Venice.

After a short free time, we head to Lake Garda, the largest lake in Italy. In Garda, which captivates visitors with its natural beauty, peaceful atmosphere, and lakeside views, you can take a walk along the shore, photograph the magnificent scenery, and enjoy the fresh breeze.

Extra Tour: Burano Island Tour per person: 35 EUR Burano Island, the most colorful corner of the Venetian Lagoon, has a captivating atmosphere with its colorful houses and peaceful streets. After a short walk with our guide on this favorite spot of photography lovers, we give guests free time. 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 fairytale appearance, Burano adds a calm yet unforgettable memory to your Venice trip. Day 3: Venice - Pisa - Florence After breakfast, we depart for Florence. Along the way, guests who wish may join the Pisa Tour. After the Pisa tour, we arrive in Florence and begin our city tour.
