And let’s get the jokes out of the way, no we weren’t around Firenze when the Boy David was a baby… this is Old Italy for Oldies.
Our friends at the Irish Travel Agents Association have pointed us to Trailfinders.
And they know us well enough to joke with us which is probably why they’ve zeroed in on Over-55s tours for me… on the eve of my 60th.
And an 11-night Italian Elegance Guided Tour for two with an all-encompassing Insight Vacations tour departing on May 30.
Davy is obviously on the schedule and the Accademia Museum, as are all the Italian icons.
All roads lead to Rome and around Italy
You’ll depart Dublin with Aer Lingus and arrive in Rome.
Where naturally you’ll get VIP entrance into the Vatican Museums and Michelangelo‘s most famous ceiling.
And wine and dine with a curator from the Ethnological Museum among the treasures of the Vatican.
Luxury will be the order of the day with a guided boat ride to view the UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Cinque Terre.
You’ll also visit San Gimignano and a local winery, the seaside town of Portofino and the vistas of the Dolomites.
Grab the Insta pic must at the Leaning Tower of Pisa.
Italy for lovers
And seeing you’ve got la bella donna with you then a visit to Italy’s most romantic balcony is a must.
In Verona, the home of Romeo and Juliet.
While in Venice you’ll enjoy a private launch along the Grand Canal in Venice.
And a gondola ride with your amore… and that song will be ringing in your ear from the cafe singers in St Mark’s Square.
The price includes direct flights from Dublin to Rome.
And returning from Venice with Aer Lingus.
Deal us in
This being Il Bel Paese you’ll dine like a VIP.
With 11 breakfasts, a lunch and six dinners.
And all at €5,125pps which is a saving of over €650 per person. Book by April 30, subject to availability.
There’s a certain elegance in advancing years but old Italy for oldies can make you feel young again.
