History, glamour, cuisine, and stunning landscapes combine in this 5-day tour to Italy's magical Amalfi Coast visiting Pompeii, beautiful Sorrento, and the fabled island of Capri.

Rome | Naples | Pompeii | Sorrento

After an early morning departure from Rome, you'll see Southern Italy highlights as you cross the regions of Lazio and Campania onboard a comfortable motorcoach. The first stop will be in Naples, one of the most enchanting cities in the Mediterranean famous worldwide for its rich history, art, culture, and gastronomy, where you will take a short panoramic tour to discover its beauty from the comfort of your coach climbing up the Vomero hill. The town overlooks the bay of Naples which extends from the Sorrento peninsula to the volcanic area of Phlegrean fields, and the skyline is dominated by the majestic and still active volcano Vesuvius, offering an impressive sight perfect to take stunning pictures. Descending towards the port of Mergellina, you will leave the city and travel south towards Mount Vesuvius, and, once you reach the town of Pompeii, you will have lunch with the real Neapolitan pizza! After lunch, with your skip-the-line ticket, you will enter one of the most important archaeological sites in the world and UNESCO World Heritage Site - the ruins of Pompeii, for a guided tour. Visit the haunting ruins of Pompeii, travelling back in time to the tragic days in 79 AD when the silent Mount Vesuvius suddenly erupted, covering the prosperous Roman city in deadly volcanic ashes and poisonous gases, leaving this prosperous city crystallized until our days. You’ll learn how people lived at that time, visiting houses and “bars” of the time, admiring frescoes and mosaics to imagine how rich and prosperous was the city before that fateful day. After the visit, continue along the Sorrentine Coast, arriving in Sorrento in time for dinner (dress code: a jacket for men) and an overnight in your hotel. (L.D)

Sorrento

Enjoy breakfast at your hotel and then spend a day at leisure exploring Sorrento, the jewel of the Sorrentine Peninsula that is famous for the cultivation of oranges, lemon and olive trees. Dinner and overnight stay in Sorrento. (B.D)

Sorrento | Capri

Following breakfast, you’ll be embarked to Capri island. Depending on weather conditions, you’ll take a boat ride to the popular and dreamy “Grotta Azzurra” (Blue Grotto), where the sunlight passes through an underwater cavity and shines through the seawater, creating a magical blue reflection. After returning to the port you’ll board a minibus for a scenic drive to Anacapri, located at 918 feet (280 meters) above sea level. From here you can admire wonderful views of the Bay of Naples. There will be free time for lunch on your own and to explore Capri at your leisure. In the afternoon, you will check in at your new hotel for a well-deserved rest. (B)
