On arrival into Rome check in to your hotel and have time to explore this amazing city before meeting the group for a welcome dinner at a local Roman restaurant (included), where you can savour traditional Roman dishes and toast our exciting tour of Southern Italy.

This morning after our Italian style breakfast on the terrace we head to the train station for our fast train to Naples. 

On arrival in Naples, we board a coach to Sorrento. 

Sorrento is a coastal town in southwestern Italy, facing the Bay of Naples on the Sorrentine Peninsula. Perched atop cliffs that separate the town from its busy marinas, it’s known for sweeping water views and Piazza Tasso, a cafe-lined square. The historic center is a warren of narrow alleys that's home to the Chiesa di San Francesco, a 14th-century church with a tranquil cloister.

We check into our hotel for the next 5 nights. Dinner tonight is at your own expense. Ask us for a recommendation or wander the streets of Sorrento and explore the local restaurant scene.

This morning after our Italian style breakfast, we walk to the local train station where we take the circumvesuvia to Pompeii station to meet our guide for our morning tour of this historical area. 

The city of Pompeii is famous because it was destroyed in 79 CE when a nearby volcano, Mount Vesuvius, erupted, covering it in at least 19 feet (6 metres) of ash and other volcanic debris. The city's quick burial preserved it for centuries before its ruins were discovered in the late 16th century. Today we travel back in time and together with our tour guide we explore the city and its hidden story of the past. 

After the tour we return to Sorrento where you have the afternoon to explore the lovely old village of Sorrento or head to the beach. There is so much to do and see in this beautiful town located on the coast.

Dinner tonight is at your own expense. Ask us for a local recommendation.

Today after our Italian style breakfast, we head to the Port of Sorrento for the ferry to the Isle of Capri (weather permitting). 

An island of wealth for the wealthy, Capri reveals the secrets of the super-rich in its elegant villas and steep cliffs. Capri was first “discovered” by emperor Augustus in the early years of the Roman Empire. He often resided there and built many temples, villas and gardens as a way of having his own private paradise.

This is a full day tour and includes lunch and a local guide. You will have time to explore this amazing place and a fabulous lunch will be included also. Tours are subject to change without notice.

On arrival back into Sorrento we will walk back to our hotel and dinner will be own arrangements.

After our italian style breakfast we will walk to the Sorrento port for our tour of the Amalfi coast. This is a full day tour and includes local guide and lunch. 

The best way to discover the natural beauty of the Amalfi Coast is by sea. We will leave from Sorrento and sail to discover the different locations of the Amalfi Coast, caves and beaches that can only be reached by sea. 

We will admire the ancient fishing village of Conca dei Marini, which today is home to luxury villas and hotels, Furore with its famous bridge 30 meters high, Praiano and Positano, the "vertical city" famous all around the world. Tours are subject to change without notice.

On our return from our day tour dinner is at own arrangements.

After your Italian Style breakfast your last day will be a free one so you have time to explore Sorrento area. 

There is so much do and see here including taking a ferry to Ishca. This is an island off the coast of Naples and somewhere many tourists have not travelled to. It is about an hours trip by ferry from Sorrento and a lovely place to explore. 

If you prefer to stay local then visit one of the many lemon produce stores or head to the beach for a relaxing day.

Tonight we will meet for a special farewell dinner at a local resturant (included)
