Itinerary

Day 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 dinner celebrating the start of your Italian journey.

Day 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, built upon the site of the ancient Stadium of Domitian. Make the most of a free afternoon in Italy’s capital city. Perhaps you’ll meander through Rome’s lively Monti district to soak in the local life.

Day 3 – 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 the 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.

Day 4 – Sorrento

This morning, head out to the countryside of Sant’Agata sui Due Golfi for a fun morning at a traditional terraced farmhouse, perched high and overlooking the Amalfi Coast. Visit the vegetable garden of this family-owned farm and join in a hands-on cooking class following family recipes. Then, dig into the delicious lunch you helped make, a true taste of the traditional dishes of the region. Return to Sorrento for an afternoon and evening at leisure. Wander through its narrow streets, colorful boutiques, or perhaps sample some gelato made with local lemons.

Day 5 – Sorrento – Amalfi Coast – Sorrento

Sail along the stunning Amalfi Coast to Positano, with its pastel-colored houses and pebbly beaches. Spend time in this legendary locale, browsing the posh boutiques or relaxing along the beach before continuing to 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 returning to your hotel for an evening at leisure.

Day 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.

Day 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 sang 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.
