Day 2 - Introduction to the Eternal City
You will begin your week with a guided orientation tour of Rome. Your expert local guide will highlight some of the city’s most important, famous and breathtaking sights, such as the Coliseum, the Roman Forum, the Circus Maximus, the King Victor Emmanuel Monument, St. Peter’s Basilica and more.

Day 3 - Explore Rome at leisure
Take time out today to explore the wonders of Ancient, Christian, Baroque or Renaissance Rome at your leisure. Enjoy a stroll through the cobblestone streets of the city centre, window-shopping or take a seat at a chic street side cafe and enjoy a glass of wine or sample some of the local fare.

Day 4 - Sorrento
After breakfast bid Rome ‘arrivederci’ and leave for Sorrento, where you will stay for four nights with breakfast and three course evening meal served each day at hotel. En route to Sorrento enjoy a visit to the ancient town of Pompeii, which lies at the foot of Mount Vesuvius. Here you will experience an incredible journey back to life in Roman times. Life in the 1st century was preserved in this renowned World Heritage site when Mount Vesuvius erupted in 79AD. The volcanic ash and rock captured the daily city scenes, as well as the local residents, sealed forever in their death pose. Excavation began in 1748 and continues today with approximately 110 of the 160 acres of this ancient city excavated to date. Entrance fees to Pompeii excavations are payable locally.
