Thomson Experiences in Italy

ARTS & CULTURE
Imagine the faint echoes of ancient cheers ringing within the Colosseum, or the words from a bygone papal address drifting from a balcony in the Vatican. Imagine the smell of fresh paint as Michelangelo lay on his back high atop the scaffolding, toiling over The Creation of Adam.
CULINARY
Sample vintages at a private winery in the Tuscan hills; hunt for truffles; accompany local chefs as they peruse their favorite markets; assist them as they prepare a gourmet meal.
MULTI-GENERATIONAL

Traveling the world with your family is like sharing a box filled with presents. The box is the world itself and the presents are the bonds that form through the experiences we share, and the perspective, patience, understanding, and tolerance we gain from expanding our horizons and seeing how other people live. There is no greater gift.
