Itinerary
- 1
Rome, Italy
Your tour opens in the “Eternal City” of Rome! As arrival times will vary, there is no scheduled sightseeing today. Spend the day as you wish, exploring the city independently. Tonight, join your fellow travelers for a welcome drink celebrating the start of your Italian journey.
- 2
Rome
Begin your exploration of the Eternal City with an expert-guided tour of Rome’s Renaissance and Baroque highlights. Climb to the top of the Spanish Steps for views of the city’s skyline and down its famous 135 stairs. Stroll over cobblestone streets and weathered passageways to discover famous sights such as the Trevi Fountain and the Pantheon’s imposing facade. Finish a full morning of exploration in the oval-shaped Piazza Navona. Then, make the most of a free afternoon in Italy’s capital city before gathering for dinner at a local restaurant.

Rome - Pompeii - Sorrento
Journey to the Sorrentine Peninsula, an iconic coastline of rocky beaches and towering cliffs. En route, pause at a local winery to savor the area’s famous Lacryma Christi. Enjoy a typical lunch before experiencing the eerily preserved ruins of Pompeii your way, because it’s your choice! Pick between a leisurely-paced tour of the highlights -OR- a faster-paced visit combining the highlights with Pompeii's further-out gems. In the late afternoon, settle into your hotel in Sorrento. Take some time to explore the property, perched in a scenic location above town and sea. As dusk falls, the Bay of Naples lights up with twinkling lights from the towns along its coast. As you settle into your home for the next five nights, you might even catch a glimpse of Mount Vesuvius in the distance, the volcano that famously erupted and buried Pompeii.
- 4
Sorrento
This morning, set out for an orientation walk of Sorrento. Located along the southern cliffs of the Bay of Naples, this picturesque resort town is packed with coastal charm and smiling locals. Then, join a hands-on cooking class following family recipes. Dig into the lunch you helped make, a true taste of traditional dishes of the region. The afternoon is yours. Join the locals for a passeggiata (stroll), wandering through Sorrento’s narrow streets and colorful boutiques, perhaps sampling some gelato made with local lemons.
- 5
Sorrento - Amalfi Coast - Sorrento
Drive along the stunning Amalfi Coast to its namesake town, Amalfi. A former trading hub, Amalfi is now a quiet coastal town of historic landmarks and a black-and-white marble cathedral. Explore on your own before driving up to nearby Ravello. Stroll the gardens of Villa Rufolo and admire views of la costiera (the coastline, as locals affectionally call it), ahead of returning to Sorrento for an evening at leisure.
- 6
Sorrento
Enjoy a day at leisure to take in the laid-back charm of Sorrento. Perhaps you will embark on an optional ferry trip to the Mediterranean isle of Capri. Upon arrival, admire the island’s iconic scenery on a panoramic cruise, passing by steep cliffs, endless small caves, and the famous Faraglioni rocks, jutting out of the water. Spend time in Capri town with its world-famous piazzetta and explore this island paradise of chic boutiques, lush vegetation, and outdoor cafés. Return to Sorrento in the late afternoon for an evening at leisure.
- 7
Sorrento
This morning, explore another side of Sorrento during a locally guided walking tour, showing off its allure — legend has it that Sirens once lured sailors to Sorrento’s shores. See why Enrico Caruso, the famous tenor who sung Torna a Surriento, was so captivated by Sorrento’s beauty, he often made it his holiday retreat. Along the way, sample local flavors and venture down to Marina Grande, Sorrento’s old fishing village. Ending by the seaside, linger longer if you wish, with time to find lunch on your own at the many restaurants specializing in fish, or dip your feet in the Mediterranean Sea at the small beach, before heading back to the main part of town. Enjoy the relaxing beauty of Sorrento during an afternoon at leisure. This evening, gather with your fellow travelers for a farewell dinner and bid salute to the end of your Italian getaway.
