I agree but what does that have to do with my OP?
Boogie Nights used the exact same formula only in the 70s/80s.
PT Anderson and Tarantino themselves have acknowledged Scorsese’s profound influence on them, Google it.
Bus and train, and yes it is a prearranged itinerary. However, guided tours within each city are optional I believe.
Just left Rome heading to Florence then Venice, Lucerne, London, Paris, Amsterdam and Berlin.

Yeah that’s a good point, although I guess they could write a fictitious mafia story that involves real life or even made up characters? The beginning hour felt very mafia like, but the film’s final act felt like a drug movie. I guess they all got into drugs in the later years (80s-90s) and Scorsese likely deliberately chose this story to show the extreme dichotomy in the transition of old school mafiosos to the new age and decline of the mafia in America.
