6 days to Italy

Your current plan is London (fly) Venice (train) Rome (train) Florence (train) Paris, for only ½ day (train) London.

First, Venice - Florence - Rome are a straight line, do them in that order, or vice-versa.
You say you don't want to go to Paris, then you say you are going to be there for ½ day, which is not enough time to see anything.
If you are going to Paris, stay for at least 2 nights. But you then say you have a total of only 6½ days, so no time for Paris.

My plan would be:

• Fly London - Rome. 3 nights
• Train Rome - Florence. 1 night
• Train Florence - Venice. 2 Nights
• Fly Rome - London

Some would say 1 night is not enough for Florence, skip it and add the time to Rome or Venice.

BTW "EurRail" is not a train company, it is a travel agent in North America selling tickets and passes.
P.S. I don't know what you mean by "Paris/France politically is not doing good", you have probably been reading sensationalist "news".

Chris

Did you mean to say 'Venice to London' (not Rome to London)

I am not sure what you mean by this, and I question its validity ...

"Since the Paris/France politically is not doing good I want to avoid them"

... you may note that per the community guidelines, a requirement exists for politics to be left out of the Forum. Cheers.

Why not spend those 6 days in France? You can spend a few in Champagne or down on the Rhone River. Or down in Barcelona.

But if you do Italy I'd do Venice and Rome, skipping Florence. Fly into Venice, then buy a TrenItalia ticket to Rome, and fly from Rome to Paris on a low budget airline.

There's not a thing "not doing good" in Paris but if you don't want to go there, skip it altogether as it's not worth it for just 1/2 day. Chris' suggested itinerary makes the most sense but I'd skip Florence - as you don't seem that interested in it - and add that day to Venice or Rome.

• Fly London - Rome, 3 nights: 28th, 29th, 30th
• Train Venice - 3 nights: 31st, 1st, 2nd
• Fly Venice - London: 3rd.

It would make even more sense not to fly in and out of London at all if you're going to spend vitually all of your time in Italy. Have you purchased your tickets yet? If not, skip London altogether and fly directly to Italy.

• Fly to Venice - 3 nights; 27th, 28th, 29th
• Train to Florence - 30th, 31st
• Train to Rome - 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th
• Fly home from Rome - 5th

Please read Kathy's advice carefully. With only 5-6 nights outside London and a group of 4, it's best to limit the trip to 2 destinations. Changing locations eats up a lot of time and you can only move as fast as the slowest person in the group.
If you choose France, Belgium or the Netherlands, you can consider trains to/from London, otherwise you'll want to fly to and from London - and want to spend your last night in London. You can easily fly to just about anywhere in Europe. Venice and Rome will probably be hot and humid at the end of August.

Thank you so much!!!! I really appreciated everyone's respond.
Yes, Kathy I have purchased the ticket before I acknowledge that my uncle is not doing well and i had to add trip to London earlier this week. I cannot change the tickets that I already bought for August. I wish I could. This is exactly I was thinking about Venice to Italy and then back to London, also I like the idea of visiting Neitherland etc.

My husbnad insisting me to look for Greece if we can go to Rome( fly) then take ferry ( I believe two hours ferry) which I don't know where is the port in Italy to Greece and then fly Greece to London.
I am not sure how is the Greece at the end of August. Plus I need to look fly option to Greece if that possible from Rome.
Please advise.

Thank you!

I don't know how much more advice can be provided. You have limited time to work with, and the most workable options have essentially been covered. I personally wouldn't consider an Italy> Greece option as you don't have enough days to do either of these countries justice.

is the port in Italy to Greece and then fly Greece to London.

According to this website, the fastest ferry takes 2 hours/30 minutes from Otranto, Italy to Corfu, Greece. Otranto is a very long distance from Rome, and Corfu may be a very long way from anywhere you may want to be in Greece for a mere couple of days. Just getting to/from these ports would kill a significant amount of time.

IMHO, you have time for only one country, and no more than two locations within that country. We've spent as long as a week in just in Rome and just in Paris without running out of things to do.

Only five days, I would for sure skip one of the three cities.

Thanks Kathy! This is exactly I was thinking that limited time would not worth visited countries that are far distance to each other. I appreciated all your suggestion. I feel really good now .
Do you have recommended place for Venice, Rome, In case if we skip one these two and think twice to visit Paris if time allows.

Thanks again!!!
