Highlights 12th of June night (13th early morning) : we depart from Mumbai airport for Venice and are all set for the our backpacking adventure. 13th June: Venice Venice is a hauntingly beautiful place: a strange, surreal city in which everyday life seems somehow more dramatic than elsewhere. Even Venetian traffic jams are impressive – chintzy gondolas, vaporetti (water buses) and delivery barges, all massed on the Grand Canal 14th June: Venice – Rome Rome: just the name conjures 2700 years of Western civilisation. Possibly the most influential city the world has ever seen, Rome might now be filled with more foreigners carrying maps of Rome than actual Roman citizens. However, its storied past and legendary buildings overpower and captivate even the most jaded of visitors. From the iconic Colosseum to the medieval winding streets of Trastevere, practically every centimetre of Rome is saturated in history or is artistically inspired, or both 15th June: Rome 16th June: Rome 17th June: Rome to Florence via the quaint town of ORVIETO Florence has a strange effect on visitors. Travellers who normally loathe art galleries queue for hours to get into them, and people with no interest in Renaissance architecture start raving about tiered façades and frescoed apses. Florence remains a charismatic city you’d be sorry to miss 18th June: Florence 19th June: Florence 20th June: Florence to Nice via PISA Naughty Nice is one of the highlights of the French Riviera. Sun seekers sip cocktails on parasoled lounges lining its pebbled shores, kids splash in the azure seas and rollerbladers cruise the promenade des Anglais. The city is a great base from which to explore the rest of the Côte d’Azur. 21st June: Nice (choose to do a daytrip to Cannes) 22nd June: Nice (choose to do a daytrip to Monte Carlo) 23rd June: Nice – Barcelona Stylish Barcelona is a forward-thinking place, always on the cutting edge of art, design, and cuisine. Whether you explore its medieval palaces and plazas, gawk at the modernist masterpieces, shop for designer duds along its stylish boulevards, sample its exciting nightlife or just soak up the sun on the city beaches, you’ll be hard-pressed not to fall in love with this vibrant city. 24th June: Barcelona Walk down Las Ramblas with us. Spain’s most famous street, the pedestrian boulevard of Las Ramblas is exploding with life. Stretching from Plaça de Catalunya to the waterfront, this one-time creek bed is lined with street artists, news kiosks, vendors and more. 25th June: Barcelona: Free to explore on your own 26th June: Barcelona - Mumbai

Accomodation / Transport What is EXCLUDED:- As we want you to sample the local food and not restrict you to any particular restaurant we have left that option to you. we suggest that you budget for 20 Euros per day for food expenses. Since we do not want to handhold you and tell you what to see and what not, we have not included the cost of entry to monuments, museums etc. some of you may just want to sit on the beach and read or book or have a picnic in one the parks. so that option is free for you to decide. however we recommend that you budget a sum of 10 euros to spend on your daily internal travel / entries etc TRIP STYLE We, at The Backpacker Co, do not believe in ‘herding’ you around. One should be able to make their own discoveries and decided how much time they want to spend and where. Some people are into art and can spend hours at museums, whilst some are into photography and can take an entire day to get the perfect picture. Then there are those who love to ‘people watch’ and spend their time sipping a cappuccino at a café near a city square. The reason all our trips are UNESCORTED is because we want to give YOU the flexibility to DO YOUR OWN THING without having any 'tour leader' types around. • please note that the group size is LIMITED to 10 and is on a FIRST PAID FIRST SERVED basis • we need a minimum of 30 days to work on the visa formalities, hence the sooner you confirm the better for all of us.
