Itinerary / Highlights

Day 1 Rome
Walk beneath the Colosseum arches, marvel at the mighty Pantheon or simply stroll through the piazzas that dot this ancient city. Between sipping espresso with voguish locals, sharing ancient laneways with Vespas and being awestruck by the history around every corner, Rome is sure to charm and seduce, so throw a coin in the Trevi and make a wish to return.

Days 2-3 Pompeii
Full of raucous passion, Naples nestles invitingly into the bay that shares its name. We have a full afternoon here to explore the city before continuing to our base in Pompei. Discover original Pompeii artefacts in the Archaeological Museum. Succumb to the temptation of a slice of traditional Neapolitan pizza.
Then it's on to Pompei and of course a visit to the famous and fascinating ruins.
We also take the opportunity to climb Vesuvius for a close encounter with the mighty volcano

Days 4-5 Sorrento
Ascend the mighty Mount Vesuvius for magnificent views over the Bay of Naples, and the opportunity to see close-up the awesome power of the volcano which devastated Pompei.
Then it's onward to the resort town of Sorrento, set invitingly on the cliffs above sparkling blue waters

Days 6-8 Amalfi coast
Enjoy the rocky coastline, whitewashed villages, lemon groves and vine-covered terraces of the famed Amalfi Coast with a hike along the ancient trails. The walking is steep but the views are truly magnificent. There is also plenty of time to relax on the pretty beaches or take in the 2000-year old cultural heritage.
