Most Likely to End Every Conversation with "Ciao"

For the grad that loves all things Italian… food, art, history and more… say buongiorno to Italia Bella: Rome to Venice tour. Along this journey, your family will make their own authentic pizzas, eat gelato, appreciate Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel (without all the crowds), explore ancient Etruscan caves, the Colosseum and the Leaning Tower of Pisa…even travel the Italian countryside in a vintage Fiat 500.

Every day brings a new adventure with Italia Bella: Rome to Venice. Find all the details here.

Most Likely to Become an Adventure Seeker

For the grad that likes nothing more than an adrenaline rush, the Alpine Adventure delivers the exhilaration. Your family can go mountain biking, rock climbing, whitewater rafting, abseiling (AKA rappelling) and even participate in a little summer tobogganing as you make your way across Switzerland, Austria and Germany. Get even more thrills as you take the world's steepest cogwheel train to the summit of Mount Pilatus.

Most Likely to Marry Royalty

For the grad that enjoys the royal treatment wherever he or she goes, our Castles & Kings: London to Paris delivers the fanfare… peppered with just a touch of espionage. You'll tour Windsor Castle and bike through the Royal Parks. See a hit show in the city's famed West End. Don your secret agent garb for a speedboat ride on the River Thames and spy walk through London. And enjoy a guided visit to the opulent Château de Versailles (the largest palace in all of Europe).
