D1 Rome (Roma) Boarding time: 07:40 Boarding location: Rome Tiburtina Railway Station (Piazzale della Stazione Tiburtina - CAP 00162)
Itinerary details
Depart in the morning from Rome Tiburtina Station for a tour of Rome. (Applies to all guests staying at hotels without a pre-booked group tour.) [Spanish Steps] One of the iconic symbols of romance thanks to "Roman Holiday"; Hepburn once ate ice cream on these steps. The Spanish Steps, with 138 steps, are among the widest in Europe. In the past, young people from many countries treated them as a playground, eating, drinking, partying, dancing, singing and carrying on from day to night as if they were at home. [Trevi Fountain] Made immortal by Fellini's film "La Dolce Vita". The sea horses in the fountain sculpture are lifelike, one wild and one gentle, symbolizing the unpredictability of the sea and the wonders of fate. Toss a coin over your left shoulder into the pool: one coin and you will return to Rome to seek romance; two coins and you will fall in love with an Italian; three coins and you will marry one. If you have other wishes, you may make them at the same time. [Colosseum] A symbol of ancient Roman civilization, it was the site where the Roman Empire had slaves, aristocrats and free citizens watch gladiatorial combats and beast fights. The ruins are located in the city center of Rome, the capital of Italy. This was where gladiators fought for their lives and condemned prisoners battled hungry lions, and it stands as a great symbol of the eternal city of Rome. [Arch of Constantine] Built in 312 AD, it is the youngest of the three surviving triumphal arches in Rome. It was built to celebrate Emperor Constantine the Great's complete defeat of his powerful rival Maxentius in 312 AD and the unification of the empire. Its exquisite and magnificent sculptures, though weathered over a thousand years into a patchwork of ruins, still stand in wind and rain, bearing witness together with the Roman Colosseum to Rome's glory. [Piazza Venezia] A circular square located in the center of Rome, modeled after Venice's St. Mark's Square. Built long ago, it is surrounded by many historic buildings, museums and art galleries within close reach. Among them, the Vittoriano monument stands out, its white marble exterior grand and majestic. **The Pantheon is not included in the itinerary. Visitors wishing to see the Pantheon need to go there on their own and purchase tickets in advance. https://portale.museiitaliani.it/b2c/buyTicketless/33f77159-0acd-40c4-8524-701f33aae108 Booking time: 10:00-11:00 AM. **To enter the Colosseum, it is recommended to book tickets online in advance. https://ticketing.colosseo.it/en/eventi/24h-colosseo-foro-romano-palatino/ Booking time: 2:00-3:00 PM.

Venice
Itinerary details
Breakfast is included at the hotel; after breakfast, depart from Rimini for Venice, one of the world's top ten tourist destinations, known as the "City of Water." [St. Mark's Square] Napoleon once called St. Mark's Square "the most beautiful drawing room in Europe." More than 200 years later, this trapezoidal square beside the Grand Canal has lost none of its charm. [St. Mark's Basilica] One of the most renowned cathedrals in the Christian world, its exterior and interior decorations are so magnificent they are breathtaking. The church houses what is said to be a thorn taken from Christ's crown of thorns, along with countless gold and jewels. The church itself, with its immense architectural and artistic value, is an incalculable treasure, known as the "St. Peter's Basilica of Northern Italy." [Bridge of Sighs] The Bridge of Sighs was built in 1603 in early Baroque style. Shaped like an enclosed building, it is sealed off to prevent passersby from looking, with only two small windows opening toward the canal. A legend says that a condemned prisoner saw his former lover embracing a new love at the other end of the bridge and sighed deeply. The bridge has since become a place where lovers witness their romance; it is said that lovers who kiss beneath the bridge will be together for life. The film "Only You" was filmed here. Optional excursion: After lunch, you may freely choose to join a Venice gondola/boat cruise. To enter St. Mark's Basilica, you must book tickets online in advance. It is recommended to purchase tickets for the 15:00-15:30 time slot. http://www.basilicasanmarco.it/?lang=en St. Mark's Basilica has discontinued on-site ticket sales; entry is now uniformly by online reservation. If you plan to visit this site, it is recommended to arrange online ticket purchase in advance to avoid being unable to enter due to an unsuccessful reservation.

Day 4
Venice - Sirmione - Milan
Itinerary details
The hotel includes breakfast. After breakfast, we will drive to "Treasure of the Island" ----Sirmione. 【Sirmione】At the foot of the southern slopes of the Alps lies Lake Garda, also called Lake Benaco, the largest and cleanest lake in Italy. On the southern part of Lake Garda there is a peninsula about 4 kilometers long, and at its tip is a small town called Sirmione, a long-renowned tourist town on Lake Garda. The town is a bit different from the casual romance of typical Italian places: here flowers bloom everywhere, the sunshine is bright, and it feels so peaceful. As you stroll along the town's stone-paved roads, wander through narrow alleys, walk among the flowers, and linger amid the lake and mountain scenery, it feels like entering the paradise of your dreams. We will then drive to Milan. 【Royal Palace of Milan】For many centuries it was the seat of the government of Milan, Italy. It is located to the right of the facade of the cathedral, facing the Vittorio Emanuele II Gallery. 【Milan Cathedral】One of the largest churches in the world, it ranks second in scale worldwide. It took 500 years to complete and is regarded as one of the most magnificent Gothic buildings in Italy. The white marble exterior is carved with thousands of statues. The interior is spacious, and sunlight passes through the beautiful stained-glass windows, creating a hazy light filled with a solemn religious atmosphere. 【Milan Cathedral】This cathedral is the symbol of Milan. Construction began in 1383 and took more than four centuries, with the basic completion in 1812. The passage of time has given the cathedral a sense of historical weathering and enriched its many architectural styles: Gothic spires paired with Baroque decorative carvings make the cathedral appear extremely luxurious andstunning. From the observation terrace on the roof of the central nave, the full view of Milan city is visible. A gilded statue of the Madonna stands on the spire, quietly guarding this metropolis rich in historical heritage and fashionable spirit. 【Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II】Considered one of the oldest shopping centers in the world. 【Sforza Castle】One of the most important buildings in Milan, it bears witness to the vicissitudes of Milan's history. If you wish to enter the Milan Cathedral hall or climb to the top, it is recommended to book tickets online in advance https://www.duomomilano.it/it/buy-tickets/ Book for around 3 pm; tickets may not be available on site The above itinerary and timing may be adjusted due to weather, road conditions, or other reasons.

Day 5
Milan - Bergamo - Trento
Itinerary details
In the morning, depart for Bergamo, known as the "ancient city in the sky," to begin a journey through time. This thousand-year-old city in the Lombardy region of Italy is divided by the terrain into an upper and lower city: the Upper Town (Città Alta) sits atop the hill, while the Lower Town (Città Bassa) stretches across the plain. Take the Funicular cable car (included) to the Upper Town of Bergamo and stroll along its winding cobblestone streets, as if returning to the Middle Ages. Well-preserved ancient city walls encircle the entire old town, and the worn stone tiles of Piazza Vecchia witness the passage of time. The Baroque style of the Duomo di Bergamo is breathtaking, telling of the artistic glory of the Renaissance. In the evening, proceed to Trento and check in to the hotel.
Important notes
Note: *If the cable car is not open due to weather or scheduled maintenance, tourists will need to walk to the old town. Thank you for your understanding. *If there are too many people queuing for the cable car, the tour guide will adjust the itinerary according to the situation on site, and the group will go up and down the mountain on foot instead (each trip takes about 20 minutes), with 5 euros refunded per person. Thank you for your understanding.

Tour participation notes
To protect your interests to the greatest extent, please read carefully this company's Registration Notice and Liability Details. The Registration Notice and Liability Details are important matters notified to outbound tour group members by our company and, together with this company's Overseas Travel Safety Notice and Other Precautions, form part of the travel contract. Our company reserves the right of final interpretation of the content of this website.
(1) Registration process and precautions
By registering through this website, please carefully read in advance all the terms published on our company webpage, order confirmation and group notice. After you submit your order, our company will consider that you have confirmed and fully agreed to the terms published by our company. If group members violate the rules mentioned in the terms, all consequences shall be borne by the group members.
1. When registering, please first complete the registration order form on the webpage. Fill in carefully and verify all information entered, including name, gender, ID number, contact information, required room type, and boarding/alighting points. Our company is not liable for any losses arising from errors in the registration information entered by individuals. After successful submission, our company will send you an order confirmation. Since tour bus seats are limited, our company will prioritize boarding arrangements based on payment receipt. Ultimately, our company will arrange vehicles according to the group size, ensuring one seat per person. After verifying the information, please arrange payment within the valid order period. Those who fail to pay the full group fee by the deadline will be automatically withdrawn from the group, and our company has the right to cancel your order without further notice.
2. Group members must ensure that, once the group is confirmed to depart, they pay 100% of the group fee within the order retention period. Because tour bus seats and hotel room allocations are limited, and hotel bookings often have time restrictions, members who register within five working days before departure must proactively and promptly complete payment. Otherwise, our company has the right to retain or cancel such orders depending on the specific situation, without obtaining prior consent from the registrant. Regardless of the payment method, any handling fees incurred are borne by the payer. After payment, please send proof of payment (bank counter remittance transaction slip or screenshot of the successful online transfer confirmation) to our company by email or fax, and be sure to note the corresponding order number on the proof; otherwise, finance cannot match the payment to the order. If, due to late payment, the group fee has not arrived 2 days before the group ends, our company has the right to require the member to deposit the corresponding group fee in cash with the group tour guide. If later verified as a duplicate payment, our company will promptly refund the overpaid amount.
3. After the company confirms receipt of payment from group members, we will confirm their participation in the tour. Three days before departure, group members will receive a departure notice at the email address provided during registration, containing information such as the guide, itinerary, and pick-up/drop-off points for reference. Due to network delays or spam filters, group members may not receive the departure notice three days before departure. If this happens, please contact relevant staff proactively for assistance.
4. Our company defaults to same-gender room sharing. When arranging hotel room types based on the requirements provided by group members at registration, if single or odd-numbered guests register (such as 3, 5, or 7 people), our company will arrange room sharing according to the actual situation. If you do not agree to room sharing arrangements, you may choose to pay the additional single-room supplement. In special cases, such as during peak tourist season when some hotels have insufficient rooms or other uncontrollable reasons, room types may change, and group members must cooperate with our arrangements. If on-site room arrangements do not meet the requirements of the traveler due to errors in gender or room type requirements entered at registration, our agency will coordinate and arrange according to the room availability on the day of hotel check-in, and any additional costs incurred shall be borne by the group member.
Note: Travelers who do not know each other and share a room arranged by our company are not related to our company in terms of their personality and behavior. If any differences in habits or disputes arise, our company and the tour guide have no responsibility to mediate or intervene.
5. If a group member needs to leave the group midway due to special circumstances, they must proactively notify us at registration or before joining the group and sign a "Mid-Tour Departure Statement". For early departure, a deduction of 30 euros is applied for each unused hotel night (or 50 euros per night for full-tour single rooms). If no hotel nights are unused, no fee reduction applies. If a group member requests to leave midway during the tour, they must proactively inform the tour guide and sign the "Mid-Tour Departure Statement"; fees paid will not be refunded. Group members must provide truthful information regarding health, identity, and other aspects at registration and during the itinerary, fill in relevant information honestly, and complete legal procedures. Expenses and losses arising from personal reasons such as physical discomfort during the trip shall be borne by the group member. Travelers with special medical histories (for example, those with serious illnesses, terminal diseases, or infectious diseases) must disclose this truthfully at registration. Given travelers' health conditions or other reasons, our company reserves the right to decide whether to accept a booking.
6. Elderly persons over 70 registering for the tour must be accompanied by a family member and must complete a "Participation Statement". If no family member accompanies them but they insist on registering, our company has the right to refuse acceptance depending on the situation. All consequences caused by a group member's own reasons during the trip shall be borne by the group member.
7. Travelers who are pregnant must truthfully disclose this when registering. Pregnant travelers beyond 24 weeks of pregnancy are, in principle, not recommended to join the tour. Those who insist on joining must be accompanied by a family member and complete a Disclaimer; our company reserves the right to refuse acceptance depending on the situation. Those less than 24 weeks pregnant who insist on joining must be accompanied by a family member and complete a Travel Group Statement; our company reserves the right to refuse acceptance depending on the situation. All consequences caused by individual reasons of group members during the trip shall be borne by the group members themselves.
8. Minors joining the tour must be accompanied by at least one adult who fulfills guardianship duties and is responsible for the minor's safety. All consequences caused by the minor's own reasons or negligence of the accompanying person during the trip shall be borne by the group members themselves.
9. Group members must confirm that all registration information provided is accurate and correct, with personal identification information and contact phone numbers being especially important. Any consequences arising from incorrect information provided by group members (such as inability to cross borders due to expired personal documents or visa types not complying with entry tourism regulations of relevant countries, or the guide and other relevant staff being unable to contact the traveler due to an incorrect mobile phone number provided) shall be borne by the traveler, including personal return fees, transportation costs, travel expenses and other losses.
10. Registrants are kindly requested not to book any flights or various train tickets related to the registered itinerary on their own before the order is confirmed for the tour. If a group member personally books flights or train tickets related to the itinerary but ultimately fails to register successfully, all losses shall be borne by the registrant.
11. If a group member falls under any of the following circumstances, the travel agency may terminate the contract (except as otherwise provided by relevant laws and administrative regulations): (1) suffering from an infectious disease or other illness that may endanger the health and safety of other group members; (2) carrying items that endanger public safety and refusing to hand them over to the relevant authorities for handling; (3) engaging in illegal activities or activities that violate public morals; (4) engaging in activities that seriously affect the rights and interests of other parties and refusing to stop after being persuaded; (5) other circumstances affecting contract performance as stipulated by law.

3) Some routes do not arrange room sharing. If an odd number of people sign up for such a route, they must register at the single room rate, for example the USA/Canada/Kenya/Egypt, etc. [Note: For routes where room sharing is not available, customer service will provide a separate reminder].
(3) Obligations of group members
1. Group members must not engage in illegal activities during the tour.
2. Group members, when exercising their rights, must not harm the interests of the country, society, or collective, or the lawful rights and interests of others.
3. Observe public order and respect social morals. Group members should respect the dignity of tourism service personnel and show mutual respect and assistance among group members; respect local ethnic customs, habits, and local conditions; strictly prohibit graffiti on scenery and buildings, spitting, littering, and other uncivilized behavior.
4. Strive to learn the knowledge needed for travel and improve your self-protection awareness. We recommend that group members choose and purchase personal accident insurance and other insurance for travel on their own, and properly keep their luggage and belongings during the trip. Valuables should be carried on your person or protected by other measures. Unless a group member specifically requests otherwise, the travel agency assumes that group members have purchased overseas travel insurance on their own, and is not responsible for consequences arising from a customer not purchasing insurance. (Note: the insurance mentioned here refers only to overseas travel insurance. Vehicle transportation and entertainment items already include the corresponding insurance required by local law, which is not included in the overseas travel insurance.)
5. When traveling, pay attention to local weather conditions and ensure children's safety.
6. Group members who voluntarily participate in dangerous tourism items included in regular tour itineraries, including rock climbing, mountaineering, rafting, diving, bungee jumping, and other tourism items that may cause personal injury, shall personally bear any other disputes, property losses, or personal injuries arising therefrom, and our company bears no liability.
(4) Liability
1. The company reserves the right to change accommodation locations, travel routes, sightseeing order, attractions visited, and departure dates as needed based on specific circumstances.
2. If the number of participants is insufficient, or if changes beyond our company's control occur, such as problems with ships or flights, our company reserves the right to change or cancel the itinerary. If the itinerary is cancelled, our company will refund in full the fees paid by group members or recommend a similar alternative product. Our company bears no responsibility for cancelling any itinerary.
3. In the event of social unrest, terrorist activities, major infectious disease outbreaks, natural disasters, calamities, riots, murder, civil unrest, war, or other incidents beyond the company's control that may seriously endanger the personal safety of group members, as well as weather, traffic, strikes, and other unexpected situations, the company has the right to cancel or replace any tour item before departure or after setting out, and also has the right to shorten or extend the itinerary, but must notify group members in advance. Any additional expenses or losses arising therefrom are unrelated to the company, and group members may not object or withdraw on that basis.
4. Security conditions vary between countries. Please pay attention to personal and traffic safety, and properly keep your belongings and luggage. If any loss, theft, robbery, or other damage occurs during the trip, please promptly notify the tour leader and report to the police. Our company bears no legal liability for this;
5. Group members must carry valid passports, visa pages, residence permits, and other identity documents at all times. If a mid-tour withdrawal is caused by problems with documents or passports, the participant shall bear the responsibility, and the remaining group fee will not be refunded. If this affects the normal itinerary of other group members, the group member shall bear corresponding compensation liability.
6. If a group member encounters an accident during the itinerary (such as an accident during entertainment or games, or illness, death, falls, or injuries caused by personal activities, or violation of the terms and notices stated in our company's agreements) resulting in personal injury or death or property loss, the relevant responsibilities and costs shall be borne by the group member. Our company is not responsible for such injuries, deaths, or property losses. If this causes losses to our company, the group member shall bear compensation liability.
7. If a group member deliberately fails to comply with the rules or obstructs the normal activities and interests of the group, our group leader has the right to cancel their participation qualification, and fees paid will not be refunded. Our company bears no responsibility for the group member's actions after leaving the group.
8. The times indicated in the itinerary are for reference only. Actual arrival times may be delayed due to force majeure factors such as weather, traffic jams, traffic accidents, festival events, riots and strikes. We appreciate your understanding. If group members need to take other transportation to other cities for subsequent travel arrangements, we strongly recommend reserving at least 3 hours of spare time to avoid inconvenience caused by itinerary delays. Our company is not responsible for losses in self-arranged travel due to group members failing to reserve sufficient spare time.
(5) Overseas travel safety notes and other precautions
I. Warm Tips
1. Some attractions in Europe offer student discounts; students are advised to bring a student card.
2. Plug standards differ across European countries (for example, plugs in Italy and Switzerland differ from those used in Germany). If needed, please bring your own plug adapters.
3. For safety reasons, European coach companies require that children must have a seat regardless of age. Since most tour buses do not provide separate child safety seats, parents bringing children under 3 years old on tours may prepare their own. However, one child safety seat occupies one bus seat, and it cannot be guaranteed that all self-brought safety seats will be suitable for tour buses. Please take note.
II. Safety Notice
Clothing
1. Weather in Europe is changeable; please be sure to carry rain gear and a warmer jacket with you.
2. Please keep your belongings and luggage safe. Our company is not responsible for loss, theft, or other incidents.
3. Clearly write your name and contact method on your luggage for identification and easy return if found. If luggage is lost, notify the relevant institutions (such as hotels, airlines, etc.) as soon as possible and report it to the police. If it cannot ultimately be recovered, keep the police report to claim compensation from the relevant institutions or insurance company (if insurance was purchased).
Dining
1. Hotel breakfast: Europeans are used to a simple breakfast. Hotel breakfasts usually consist only of bread, coffee, tea, juice, etc. Hotels arranged by our company include a buffet breakfast;
2. Bring bottled water and dry snacks or other food for emergencies, especially for elderly people and children.
3. Do not drink unclean water, and do not eat unsanitary food or food that smells or has spoiled;
4. Do not accept or consume cigarettes, food, or drinks offered by strangers.
5. To prevent discomfort from changes in water and climate during travel, bring commonly used or habitual medications. Long-term patients should carry medical records for emergencies. Never casually take medications provided by others.
6. Our agency does not provide or arrange alcohol consumption. Group members who enjoy drinking should strictly control their alcohol intake during the trip. Any responsibility for drunken disturbances, disruption of social order, infringement on others, or financial losses to third parties shall be borne by the person responsible.
Accommodation
1. Hotel facilities:
① European cities are relatively small, and there are very few hotels in the city center. These hotels are small in scale, with older facilities, and are not comparable to similar hotels in China.
② Hotels in Europe do not provide toothbrushes, toothpaste, or slippers. Please bring your daily necessities.
③ Check whether the hotel's supplies are complete and undamaged. If anything is missing or damaged, please report it immediately to the hotel staff or your tour guide.
④ For various reasons, such as environmental protection, historical buildings, and Europe's relatively cool climate, many hotels do not have air conditioning.
⑤ Hotels in Italy are relatively old buildings. Blankets are generally kept in the wardrobe in the room. If there are none, please contact the front desk to request one.
⑥ If needed, guests should bring their own small travel hair dryer.
⑦ German-style double rooms usually have one large bed with two bed sets. Regardless of whether guests request one large bed or two single beds, this bed type is also common in most European regions.
2. Hotel meals:
① Hot drinking water is not provided in European hotel rooms.
② Please cherish food, do not waste it, and do not take it away.
③ Breakfast times vary among European hotels. Please be sure to arrive at the restaurant early according to the hotel's notice to avoid arriving late for personal reasons and finding insufficient food available.
④ There is a certain gap between hotel dining and China. Breakfast is relatively simple (German breakfasts are richer, while Italian breakfast is the simplest, consisting only of bread and coffee). Lunch and dinner are also not very lavish, and there is a considerable gap in quantity and quality compared with domestic standards.
3. Hotel check-in safety reminders:
① Please keep your valuables in safe custody and do not leave them in the hotel room. Avoid carrying large amounts of cash or valuable watches and jewelry. Keep your travel documents and belongings safe, and carry a photocopy of your travel documents and credit cards so you can use them as proof when applying for replacements in case of loss. This company is not responsible for loss or theft. ② Please do not smoke in hotel rooms. Any hotel fines resulting from smoking will be paid by the person responsible.
③ After checking into the hotel, familiarize yourself with the hotel's safety guidelines, check whether the room windows can be opened, locate the fire-fighting equipment, and learn the hotel's emergency exits, emergency staircases, and evacuation routes.
④ Do not tell strangers which hotel or room you are staying in. Do not let strangers or people claiming to be hotel maintenance staff enter your room. Lock the door whenever you leave or enter the room. Before sleeping, check that the door and windows are closed and the safety lock is engaged. It is best to keep valuables with you and not in places near windows or doors.
⑤ When group members need to go out after checking into the hotel, they should inform the tour guide and pick up a hotel business card at the hotel front desk. The card shows the hotel address and phone number, so if you get lost, you can ask for help by showing the address on the card.
Line
1. Boarding and alighting:
① All group members must gather on time and depart on time. Please arrive at the boarding location 15 minutes in advance. Our tour coaches will not wait. Those who fail to gather and depart at the agreed time and place, or fail to join midway, will be deemed to have voluntarily withdrawn, and fees will not be refunded.
② The pick-up and drop-off times stated on the webpage are estimates. The specific boarding and alighting locations are subject to confirmation by our company. (If traffic conditions or other special circumstances prevent our coach from arriving at the boarding location on time, or if the time or location changes temporarily, we will notify you promptly. Please be patient.)
③ Coaches come in three types: large coaches, mid-size coaches, and 9-seat minibuses. Large coaches generally have a dedicated luggage compartment, while mid-size coaches and 9-seat minibuses have relatively limited luggage space. Due to limited luggage space on buses, we recommend bringing as little luggage as possible when traveling. Our company will arrange vehicles based on the final group size to ensure one seat per person.
④ To avoid overcrowding at attractions, bus parking areas in most European cities are located far from the attractions, and drivers are not allowed to park randomly. Violators face heavy fines. Sometimes the boarding and alighting locations are some distance from the attractions. We kindly ask all group members for their understanding.
2. Bus safety tips:
① Smoking is prohibited inside the vehicle.
② Please do not carry prohibited items.
③ Do not randomly handle any items in the vehicle to avoid unnecessary damage.
④ During temporary bus stops, follow the tour guide's arrangements and do not wander far away.
⑤ When group members get off the bus for sightseeing, dining, or shopping, please make sure to close the tour bus windows and carry your valuables with you. In case of loss or theft, the travel agency assumes no responsibility.
⑥ Because the journey is very long and the vehicles carry heavy loads, if a vehicle breaks down and affects the itinerary, the travel agency will quickly take remedial measures. Group members are kindly requested to cooperate actively.
III. Other Essential Information and Precautions
1. Please obey local laws and regulations.
2. Please be sure to carry relevant identification and a valid passport with you.
3. When participating in group activities, follow the instructions of the tour leader/guide and avoid leaving the group for safety.
4. Before participating in any high-risk activities, you must assess your personal health condition and abilities, and comply with the relevant safety guidelines for the activity, such as wearing a life jacket, fastening safety belts, and wearing suitable or designated clothing. Group members are kindly requested to avoid participating in these activities during free time on the trip. If a group member insists on participating, they do so at their own risk.
5. Do not participate in entertainment activities suspected of being illegal.
6. Pay attention to and heed all warnings, such as not wandering around or feeding animals in wildlife parks.
7. When touring areas with poor public security, be especially vigilant and avoid going out alone.
