Embrace "La Dolce Vita"
Trek through the dreamiest landscapes of northern Italy. From the Venetian Lagoon, we venture north through lush farmlands before reaching the rolling foothills of the Alps. Along the way, take in vistas, dine on delicious cuisine, try cooking the Italian way, and savour the fruits of the hills with a glass or two of wine. Head to the towering Dolomites, where we will hike between peaks and drive along mountain roads. To cap it off, we will unwind in Venice with visits to the colourful islands of Murano and Burano. With our journey leader and local guides, we will hike through stunning scenery, soak up the region’s history and culture, and connect with nature.

- Why should I book with Craig Travel?
-
All of our tours are carefully planned to provide a comfortable pace, quality accommodations, in-depth sightseeing, and fully inclusive pricing. We encourage you to compare our offerings with other tours available. Check to see exactly what is included and what extras you may be required to pay.
- What do you mean by 'Fully Inclusive' pricing?
-
Almost all Craig Tours and Cruises include all prepaid costs, encompassing airfare and related taxes, hotel accommodations and/or cruise expenses with taxes and service fees, most meals as described for each departure, sightseeing with entrance fees, gratuities for included services (such as guides, drivers, hotel staff, porters), and even airport transfers. For those residing in southern Ontario, we provide transfers between your home and the airport in most areas, while other passengers receive a special credit or an overnight stay at an airport hotel, depending on the circumstances.
Not included in the published prices are personal services and items such as laundry, telephone calls, room service, and beverages with meals or otherwise (according to local customs; for example, beverages like water, tea, and coffee are typically not included in Europe except during breakfast). Shore excursions on ocean cruises are not included unless specified.
While taxes and fees are included in our prices, they always remain subject to change. Consequently, we may need to collect supplements to cover tax and fee increases that cannot be absorbed.
