What's Not Included

Ciao, you're in Italy now! And there's no place quite like Rome. Meet your new travel crew and group leader tonight, and grab dinner and drinks at an incredible local spot.

Get ready to roam in Rome. Perfect your poses for Trevi Fountain, the Spanish Steps, the Piazza Venezia and the Parthenon. Then it's time for the main event... Tickets inside the Colosseum! You can also visit the Roman Forum and Palatine Hill. Tonight's vibe is live music in one of Rome's enchanted neighbourhoods.

Give a warm welcome to Naples, the king of Italian street food, before rolling up your sleeves to create fresh pasta from scratch, paired with an authentic sauce recipe. It's the best kind of souvenir, if you ask us! Enjoy tonight however you like; Naples has it all, from clubbing to cocktails with a view.

If you're wondering what life inside Ancient Rome was really like, let's bring that mystery to life. Discover the ruins of Pompeii this morning and feel free to stay on afterwards, or head back if you'd like to spend your afternoon in Naples.

Explore the ruins of Herculaneum before wine tasting with a view! Sip and swirl the best local wines at the foothills of Mount Vesuvius. Later on, arrive at Sorrento, the most stunning coastal town you've ever seen. Wander past shades of pastel architecture and endless ocean views. You'll love tonight's sunset!

Rise and shine! This morning, we'll set off on our scenic hike along the Path of the Gods. We'll climb the most insane viewpoints of the Amalfi Coast and stop for snacks and photos along the way! Grab lunch in Positano before your free evening back in Sorrento.

Please note: Depending on the weather, we may need to switch today's activity to a Positano day trip. Either way, you'll still get to experience the Amalfi Coast's most iconic destination!

Capri is calling! Ride to the island's highest point and wander inside Capri's famous gardens. Enjoy lots of free time today to optionally tick off the Blue Grotto, chill in town, or head to the nearest beach. Tonight, let's celebrate back in Sorrento, enjoying tiramisu and aperol spritzes as the sun goes down.

And just like that, our time together in Italy has come to an end. Pack your bags, hug your new best friends, and see you on the next group trip. Ciao!
