Italy’s rich culture, diverse landscapes, and wealth of history mean it has something to suit the preferences of any traveler. In 10 days you can enjoy any kind of Italian excursion, be it hiking through the northern Dolomites, enjoying a food and wine tour of Tuscany, or embarking on a family adventure through Italy’s most famous cities. Beach lovers needn’t feel left out, either, as the turquoise waters and golden beaches of Puglia are delicious in summer.

Ten days may seem like a short time to see both Italy and Greece, but you'll still get to experience all the main destinations, with enough time for a beach day or two. Focus your trip on a particular theme—like history, wine, or family—to fully immerse yourself in your favorite day-to-day adventures. Regardless of which itinerary you choose, it's easy to modify any of these trips to give you a bit more time in your favorite places.

Many travelers with 10 days to spend in Italy choose to explore two to three cities or regions—you can easily see the top sights in Venice, Florence, Rome, adding the Amalfi Coast for good measure. Or, take a food-focused trip that includes detours to Chianti and Parma. Another option? Immerse in the culture and nature of one region with a tour around Sicily or a hiking adventure in the Dolomites. Read on for five unique itineraries.

With thousands of years of cultural and culinary history, Italy offers plenty to take in. In 10 days, you can choose to go deep on a particular region or hop between the high points. If you prefer the latter, check out our spin through Venice, Florence, and Rome ideal for school-age children, or take babies and toddlers to Rome and Sorrento with the help of private tours. If you'd rather specialize, try a road trip through Tuscany and Lakes Como and Garda or an adventure trip that will see you sailing over Tuscany and Veneto via bike, hot air balloon, and more.

Our travel agent was Rita. She was fantastic! When we were getting ready to officially book the trip, my father passed away. I told her we needed to pause the planning while we were grieving and mourning him. She expressed her sympathies and said just to let her know when we were ready to move forward. When I reached out to her she was ready for us. I loved the communication. While leading up to the trip I would think of a question and she would answer it quickly. She sent us an itinerary and we wanted to scale it back a little and she did. The tours she set us up with were fantastic and small group size for the Colosseum and Vatican. That was a huge plus! Part of me was a little nervous to use a Travel Agency that was strictly online but my cousin recommended them and I have no regrets. Rita and the contacts we had while on our trip were close to local time and knew the areas so that was so helpful. I would definitely book a trip with them again!

We had a wonderful planning experience with Giorgia. She had great recommendations for things to do, not only for planned activities but also for things to do in our free time. She also listened to our wishes for some free time and the kinds of tours we were interested in. All the arranged tours went smoothly - we had information on where to meet our guides and tickets for events were included in an app for our phone. We did two food tours which were both excellent. The guides for both were lovely, knowledgeable and passionate about their city. We were fortunate that for both tours we were the only two with our guide so we had a very personal experience. We also did a Catacombs tour with Marco that was equally wonderful. Our hotel was conveniently located near the Piazza Navona so we could walk most everywhere.
We would definitely recommend the Kimkim service.

What a great trip! Everything went very smoothly and the level of detail and accommodation was truly fantastic. Rita did a great job setting everything up for us and our guides from Liv Tours (Big Mama - Colosseum, Lia - Pompei, Giulia - Florence) were all exceptional! We were very impressed with the level of service we received from everyone along the way. We will cherish our memories of this trip. Thank you.
