Itinerary
Depart
for Europe (1 Days)
Your exciting European trip begins.
Arrive Rome (1 Days)

explore at leisure. Maybe start your souvenir shopping
or try an Italian gelato. Tonight, enjoy dinner after
meeting with your Tour Manager and fellow travellers at
6pm.
Rome to Sorrento (1 Days)
First, an opportunity to visit the ancient city of
Pompeii, then on to cliffside Sorrento with marvellous
views of the Bay of Naples.
Sorrento - Isle of Capri (1 Days)
Our complimentary cruise takes you to the Isle of Capri
for a full day to enjoy the many attractions, including
the hilltop town of Anacapri.
Sorrento to Florence (1 Days)
Leaving behind the stunning Amalfi coast we head north
through Lazio and Umbria and make a stop en-route to
taste some local wine. Later a first taste of
Renaissance Florence.
Florence (1 Days)
The day includes a walking tour of the Piazza della
Signoria, the Duomo and Santa Croce, and a chance to
shop for leather, gold and silver. In your free time
maybe visit one of the city's many museums or galleries
and this evening enjoy the colourful Florentine
nightlife.
Florence to La Spezia (1 Days)
Free time in Pisa, home of the famous Leaning Tower,
then enter the unspoilt Cinque Terre Region. We stop at
Portovenere before continuing on to the picturesque
villages of Riomaggiore and Monterosso. Tonight we stay
in La Spezia.
La Spezia to Milan (1 Days)
A day of enormous contrast as we head from the tranquil
western coast of Italy to the hustle and bustle of the
fashion capital of Italy - Milan.
Milan to Venice (1 Days)
With Milan behind us we head east to our afternoon stop
in Verona, home to Shakespeare's tragic tale of Romeo
and Juliet. Later we head to our hotel close to the
stunning city of Venice.
Venice (1 Days)
A short boat ride takes us into the historical centre of
Venice to see St Mark's Square, the Bridge of Sighs and
the Doges' Palace. Ample time to wander the bustling
streets, see the skill required to create local crafts
such as Venetian glass and fine lace and visit one of
the many amazing museums. Why not treat yourself to a
gondola ride and evening meal with your fellow
travellers as a perfect end to your Venetian experience?
Venice to Rome (1 Days)
Travelling south we stop in Bologna, home of spaghetti
bolognese, then it's on to Rome and our evening
sightseeing tour.
Rome (1 Days)
Ancient and modern Rome await your discovery. Why not
take a guided tour of the Imperial Forum and walk in the
footsteps of Gladiators? In your free time explore the
Vatican City and Sistine Chapel, snap up Italian
fashions or just watch the world go by with a gelato (or
two).
Depart Rome (1 Days)
Time to swap addresses and email details and say
'Arrivederci Roma' as the tour ends after breakfast.
