9 Day Italian Family Vacation: City Highlights
Premier Private Guided Tour
With its fascinating ruins, magical art, open spaces, and abundance of tasty treats, Italy seems almost tailor-made for kids (not to mention their accompanying adults). Got a fussy eater? The homeland of pizza and gelato will turn them into a gourmet overnight. Got a sourpuss who thinks history is just boring old stuff? Fill their head with stories of gladiators and secret tunnels and watch how quickly the past comes to life. This family-focused itinerary blends discovery, sightseeing, and plenty of hands-on action in Rome, Florence, and Venice into a transformative experience they’ll remember forever.
Naturally, it all starts in Rome where you’ll enjoy cruising by a different slice of the eternal city in a golf buggy then refuel with the delicious taste of pizza and gelato. Next, take the kids back in time to the days of Ancient Rome on a private tour of the Colosseum, the ruins of the Roman Forum, and Palatine Hill where, according to legend, Romulus first settled what would later become the seat of an empire. Later, spend a pleasant half-day biking out to Rome’s famous Catacombs, a vast network of underground tunnels where early Christians buried their dead (don’t worry; all the bones are long gone!) before biking back along the ancient Appian Way with refreshments along the route. Next stop: Florence, the cradle of the Renaissance. Here, you’ll step out on a family walking tour of one of Europe’s most beautiful cities accompanied by a private guide who will explain the significance of oft-photographed landmarks like Piazza della Signoria, Piazza del Duomo, and Giotto's Campanile (bell tower). The experience winds up in Venice, which you’ll explore on a private walking tour and gondola cruise before having a go at the magical and mysterious world of carnival masks on a treasure hunt.

What really matters to us
We aim to develop long term relationships – with our clients, our partners and, especially, with the communities we visit regularly. As such, our business is built on giving back. We are dedicated to preserving the land, oceans and cultures that compel us to travel.
We believe that both the customized, private-guided tours that we design and the giving partnerships we undertake should be inspiring and impactful. Our charitable initiatives are rooted in exploration, education and environmental awareness.
Encouraging exploration
A yearning for adventure and new discoveries around the globe is at the heart of all that we do. Kensington is an official travel partner of The Explorers Club, a prestigious professional society supporting research and education in the physical, natural and biological sciences.
We also support a group of intrepid storytellers from around the globe. Part of our Explorers In Residence program, these writers, photographers and filmmakers are committed to furthering our understanding of this planet and its people.
Fostering education
We believe offering access to education is one of the most powerful ways we can make a global impact. Kensington Cares is an initiative designed to support education in developing countries, including Kenya, Tanzania and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Our efforts have helped to fund the opening of two schools in the Masai Mara: Oloosinon Primary School and Kensington Hall.
Funding environmental initiatives
We’re focused on supporting research and data collection efforts that will affect change, especially when it comes to conservation. As a founding partner of Nekton, Kensington has made an important commitment to the research and conservation of the deep ocean, our planet's last great frontier.
In accordance with 30x30, Nekton collects data and samples to set a baseline of information for the previously unexplored deep-sea waters of the Indian Ocean.
