I believe there may be one more stop as we do spend a full day in Milan before we leave. I will update as soon as I get more information concerning this.

Weather

The weather in March in Rome averages in the high 50's for the highs, and low 40's for the lows. Obviously as we move North into Florence, Venice and Milan the weather does cool down a little, but not very drastically so be sure to pack accordingly. It should also be sunny! I suggest a light jacket to layer over a sweater or fleece instead of packing a heavy coat. As we have witnessed warmer than usual weather here at home, Italy also has been experiencing warmer weather as well, so we may have some balmy days during our stay!

Our Tour Director is:

Karen Helmig
Karen is a New Yorker transplanted in fabulous Rome, Italy (which she now calls home). She did an overseas study program there as a sophomore in college, then moved over after graduating and never made it back to NY! She loves to spend time with her family, travel (of course!), running, yoga, and relaxing with a great book or movie.
