  • Day 3: RomeAfter breakfast at your hotel, you will depart around 8.30AM toward the most representative building of Ancient Rome: The Roman Forum. You will step into a fascinating journey by strolling through the iconic Arch of Constantine and traversing the historic Roman Forum, once the vibrant cultural and political heart of Ancient Rome. Let the tour guide take you back in time and try to imagine how it was like to be a Roman citizen 2000 years ago. You will continue with a visit to the legendary Palatine Hill, the very site where Rome was said to have been founded, and where you will be awestruck by the captivating remnants of the Imperial palaces. Your visit will end with the mesmerizing beauty of the Colosseum's breathtaking panoramic views (from the outside), where the Ancient Romans used to watch a variety of events, such as gladiatorial shows or staged animal hunts. 

    After the tour, you will have the afternoon at leisure. You will have some free time to get inside the Colosseum (tickets not included) or stroll through the cobbled streets of the Old Town between Piazza Navona, Campo del Fiori and Piazza di Spagna. Take a coffee break or have a delicious typical gelato in one of the many café in Rome. You can also visit the world's largest and most sacred church, St Peter's Basilica in the Vatican and relax in the gardens of Villa Borghese before joining the crowds admiring the Trevi Fountain, a landmark of Rome. Dinner at leisure and overnight in Rome. (Breakfast)

    *Please note that the Vatican may be closed due to unforeseen circumstances, sometimes linked to papal activities.

    ** Important : The tour in Rome will be replaced by a Hop-on Hop-off ticket on the following departures: April 4th, May 2nd & 30th, September 5th and October 3rd & 31st.

  • Day 4: Rome - Pompeii - Sorrento

    After breakfast at the hotel in Rome, you will head south along the so-called Sun Highway, crossing the fertile Roman countryside and the area known as Castelli Romani, dotted with enchanting medieval villages.

    Following lunch, you will enter one of the most important archaeological sites in the world, the ruins of Pompeii, a site listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, with a "Skip the Line" ticket and a local guide. You will visit the haunting ruins of Pompeii, traveling back in time to the tragic days in 79 AD when the silent volcano Vesuvius suddenly erupted covering the prosperous Roman city in deadly volcanic ashes and poisonous gases, leaving this city crystallized until our days. You will learn how people lived at that time, visiting houses and "bars" of the ancient time, admiring frescoes and mosaics imagining how rich and prosperous the city was before the dreadful day. After the visit, you will drive along the Sorrentine Coast, arriving in Sorrento at your hotel for dinner and overnight. (Breakfast-Lunch-Dinner)

After returning to the port, you will board a minibus for a scenic drive to Anacapri, 918 feet (280 meters) above sea level.

Wander the streets of the Old Town, hearing tales of Palermo’s 3,000-year history, and discovering attractions like Palermo Cathedral.
