DAY1
Rome
Close Day
Beautiful Roma!
You’ll fly into Rome and check in to your luxury hotel right in the heart of the city (or a gorgeous apartment on the quieter outskirts), refresh, and head out for an afternoon or early evening tour of the Pantheon, Spanish Steps and to see the Trevi Fountain.
HIGHLIGHTS:
The Panthenon is a great way to start your tour of this historic city.
DAY2
Rome
Close Day
So much to see in Roma!
Meet your private guide for a full day’s trip to see the Panthenon, the Capuchin Crypts (!) and the Roman Forum, a skip-the-line tour to the Vatican, and on to an immersive tour of the Colosseum and on to the Ponte Sant'Angelo, completed in 134 AD by Roman Emperor Hadrian.
HIGHLIGHTS:
The Capuchin Crypts, not for the faint of heart!
DAY3
Florence
Close Day
A tour of Florence
Take your comfy, air-conditioned bus (easier to navigate than the trains for non-natives) through the Italian countryside to Florence, Italy, home of the Duomo and the David. Take some time to shop in the town square, have lunch, and see both the original David in the Accademia Gallery of Florence and the copy, which is located in Piazza della Signoria (Duomo Square), just opposite the Palazzo Vecchio (Old Palace).
HIGHLIGHTS:
the iconic David is remarkable and you might jus find an Italian cameo pendant shopping afterwards.
DAY4
Pompeii
Close Day
A day in Pompeii
Join others on your bus to Pompeii - although only partially excavated, it is astounding to see the work they’ve continually done, the vibrant town Pompeii must have been, and to reflect on the human lives ended so tragically ended by the by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in AD 79. Time permitting, take a short visit to the Naples Museum with a memorable late lunch of real pizza.
HIGHLIGHTS:
All of Pompeii.
DAY5
Rome
Close Day
Last day in Rome
On your last full day in Italy, visit sites you may not have seen or would like to return to, like the Roman Aqueduct, or take a taxi to the Appian Way (Via Appia). Visit Trastavere for your last dinner in this historic old town, a charming old working-class neighborhood with narrow alleyways and medieval plus lots of restaurants, trattorias and pizzerias.
HIGHLIGHTS:
Loved the food and ambiance in Trastavere!
DAY6
