DAY 1: Southbound! |
| |
| + Included: Breakfast, Transportation, Hotel, Lunch, Sightseeing and Dinner |
| |
 This tour program departs from Rome and goes south toward Naples on day one so you must already be in Rome the day prior to the tour. Your Italy 4 Real Travel Expert will be happy to assist you with arranging the accommodations the night before this tour starts.
Board your coach this morning as it whisks you south along the “sun route” motorway, driving through the regions of Lazio and Campania—you’ll have a great view of the Abbey of Montecassino along the way.
Upon arrival in Naples, take a short panoramic coach tour of this city rich in history. You’ll see the fishing port of Mergellina; Castel dell’Ovo (“Egg Castle”), built in the 1st century; Piazza del Plebiscito, the main square in Naples; the 18th-century Royal Palace; and the Maschio Angioino, also known as the Castel Nuovo (“New Castle”), a 13th-century home for royalty.
Continue on your way to Pompeii to visit the excavations of the Roman city that was  destroyed by the eruption of the volcano Vesuvius in 79 A.D. It was covered in ash for hundreds of years until the ancient city was uncovered in 1748. Because the city was so well preserved, it gives archeologists—and visitors—an unusual peek into the daily life of Romans in the 1st century. After your visit you will have worked up an appetite, so you will be taken to a local restaurant to enjoy a light lunch featuring some of the local dishes. After an enjoyable lunch you will leave Pompeii and drive along the coast to arrive in Sorrento in time for dinner.
Once you arrive to Sorrento you have made it to the crown jewel of the Amalfi Coast. Take a stroll to Piazza Tasso and have a cocktail!

After you enjoy a wonderful breakfast, board a ferryboat to the lovely resort island of Capri, where, weather and sea conditions permitting, you’ll visit the Blue Grotto in small rowing boats.
This sea cave appears to be lit from the bottom of the ocean, and gives off a mystical fluorescent-blue hue. Eat lunch with the group, and then it’s time to explore Anacapri which is high above on the tip of the island. Amazing views can be found from Anacapri. Plenty of time to explore on your own.
In the late afternoon, transfer to your lovely hotel in Sorrento. In the evening enjoy a lovely dinner featuring local selections from the best the area has to offer.

| + Included: Breakfast, Hotel, Ferry Transfer, Lunch Sightseeing and Dinner |

Enjoy a wonderful breakfast at your hotel of Italian espresso and a wonderful selection of pastries, cereals and fruit to name a few. The "Amalfi Drive" is said to be the most spectacular in Europe and from Sorrento the winding cliff top road offers breathtaking panoramic views at every turn.
Each spot is a world of its own, a fantastic world which dazzles the imagination and inspires unforgettable impressions. We reach Amalfi, which gives its name to the whole coast on which it lies. This was once a thriving Marine Republic, powerful and prosperous, and now a thriving holiday resort.
The unmistakable cluster of white tightly packed houses rising up the hillside is dominated by the beautiful Cathedral which stands superbly on the top of a great flight of steps leading up from the main square. Housed in the magnificent Cathedral are the remains of the Patron Saint of Amalfi and also Scotland - Saint Andrew.
You will have a guided tour of this historic coastal town and plenty of time to shop and sightsee. Later in the afternoon you check into your hotel located right in this historic part of the Amalfi Coast. Enjoy a lovely dinner tonight.
