France-to-Italy Train Tours

Italia Rail Tours

If there is one thing that Italia Rail Tours offers, it is variety. People can choose from any number of cities in France and Italy to explore like Rome, Venice, Milan, Naples, Paris, Nice, Lyon, Reims and Versailles. There is no set agenda; just a lot of trains going in different directions. The duration of the excursion is also entirely up to visitors; people can choose from four to 10 days within a two-month period to book their tours, but visitors need to plan ahead in some cases as some trains in France and Italy require advance reservations. While aboard the train, riders can choose from either first-class or second-class cabins. The first-class cabins are shared, but only with one or two other people. There is more room in these cabins, which have laptop connection plugs, complimentary free drinks and free newspapers. The second-class cabins are smaller and allow up to six people per compartment.

Rail Europe Atersia Tours

The Atersia France-Italy train tour is a morning-to-night tour that travels from Rome to Paris. Since it is a relatively short tour, it is mostly for those who want to see much but have little time to do so. The train glides down from Paris into the southern France, where passengers can take in the scenic views of the French Riviera and stop for a few pictures in the city of Nice. Next it crosses over into Italy, stopping at famous cities such as Turin, Florence and, finally, Rome.

On board the train, guests can choose from four types of cabins: comfort flex, comfort, freedom and economy. The comfort flex cabin is a personal private abode, while the rest are shared cabins. However, whatever room you choose for your tour, every passenger will have to share a washroom with another cabin.

International Rail Tours

International Rail books trains tours all over the world, so naturally it has a few train tours from France to Italy. All these tours start from the southern French city of Nice and end up in one of three Italian destinations: Milan, Naples or Rome. Whatever city you decide to visit, you will have two months to do so before the ticket expires. All tours run on the Italian Rail System, which is operated by Trenitalia. Riders can choose from spacious first-class accommodations or the more affordable second-class accommodation. Families with children can pay less as kids up to age 12 get a 50 percent discount on all tickets. The same discount is available for groups of six people or more, so if you are planning to take these tours, it is helpful to grab five other friends or family members for the trip.
