Excursions tend to focus on classic, not to be missed Italian destinations, such as Pisa/Lucca and Siena/San Gimignano day trips, Rome and Venice weekends, Sicily and Amalfi coast trips. Other side excursions include Carnival day trips, Switzerland outdoor activities weekends and trips to places such as Elba, Ravenna, Cortona, Arezzo, Verona, Lake Garda, Milan, and Bologna.
