Where do I fly into Italy?
If you plan to take the "Venetian Villas and More" tour, Milan or Venice are your best options. For "The Other Side of Tuscany" or the "Lake District" the easiest point of destination is Milan. If you are plannig to take the "Capri and Amalfi Coast" tour, flying into Rome is more convenient.
