Romantic Europe
Nine nights across three of Europe's most romantic cities — linked by air and first-class rail, with boutique hotels in the heart of it all.
Three cities, one love story
This is the grand romantic tour, stitched together so smoothly you never have to think about logistics. Begin with three nights in Paris on the Left Bank, then fly south to Florence for the art and golden light of Tuscany. From there, a first-class train carries you across northern Italy to Venice, where canals and candlelit dinners wait. Each city gets three unhurried nights — long enough to fall for it, short enough to leave you wanting more.
Throughout, you'll stay in centrally located boutique hotels with private baths and daily breakfast, with private transfers handling every arrival and departure. We'll also tuck a few useful extras into your welcome pack — maps, shopping discount cards and our favorite local tips. It's a journey built for couples and anyone who simply loves Europe at its most beautiful.
Your day-by-day journey
A sample flow through Paris, Florence and Venice — yours to lengthen, slow down or reshape around the moments you most want to savor.
Arrive on the Left Bank
Fly from Los Angeles to Paris on Air France, then transfer privately to your boutique hotel near Les Invalides. After settling in, take a first stroll along the Seine as the city lights flicker on. A glass of wine at a corner café is the only itinerary you need tonight.
Art & the great museums
Spend the morning with the masters at the Louvre, then cross the river to the Musée d'Orsay for its incomparable Impressionists. In the afternoon, wander the gardens and grand boulevards, pausing wherever a patisserie or bookshop tempts you. Dinner is a leisurely Parisian affair.
Montmartre & an evening on the Seine
Climb the artists' village of Montmartre to Sacré-Cœur for sweeping views over the rooftops. As evening falls, drift along the Seine on a romantic cruise past the illuminated monuments — the Eiffel Tower sparkling on the hour is hard to beat. Toast to the journey that's just begun.
Fly to Tuscany
After breakfast, a private transfer takes you to the airport for the short flight to Italy. Arriving in Florence, you'll settle into your central hotel just steps from the great sights. Spend the first evening getting your bearings over an aperitivo and a plate of something wonderfully Tuscan.
Renaissance Florence
Begin beneath Brunelleschi's mighty Duomo, then lose yourself in the galleries of the Uffizi among Botticelli and the masters. Cross the storied Ponte Vecchio with its goldsmiths' shops, browsing as you go. The day is yours to fill with as much art — or as much gelato — as you like.
A Tuscan sunset
Take the morning at your own pace among the artisan workshops and leather markets. In the late afternoon, climb to Piazzale Michelangelo for the city's most famous view as the rooftops turn gold and rose. Linger over a long Tuscan dinner with a bottle of Chianti.
First-class train to Venice
Board a first-class train and watch the Italian countryside slip by on the scenic run north. In Venice, swap the platform for the water as you transfer to your hotel near the canals. The first sight of the city rising from the lagoon never fails to take your breath away.
St. Mark's & a gondola at dusk
Explore the grandeur of St. Mark's Square, its basilica and the Doge's Palace, then wander the quiet back lanes where the real Venice hides. As the light softens, glide through the canals by gondola — the most romantic way there is to see the city. Dinner waits at a candlelit canal-side table.
Islands of the lagoon
Set out across the lagoon to Murano, famed for centuries of glassmaking, and colorful Burano if time allows. Back in the city, spend your final hours revisiting a favorite bridge or piazza. Raise a last spritz to a journey through three unforgettable cities.
Departure
Enjoy a final Venetian breakfast before your private transfer to the airport. Your flight returns you from Italy to Los Angeles, with three of Europe's loveliest cities, and a whole album of memories, coming home with you.
