Ready to turn your dream trip to Italy into a plan?

This 2026 group trip is a chance to check off your bucket list in the best possible way—with a fun, thoughtful group of Minnesotans who love to travel with purpose, joy, and just enough structure to keep things easy. You’ll explore three of Italy’s most iconic cities—Venice, Florence, and Rome—with the option to extend your journey south to Sorrento and Pompeii.

This trip is organized by Gray Duck Travel Club, a local community of travel-loving adults who enjoy meaningful, memorable adventures (and prefer to skip the stress of planning everything alone).
