Rome
Three nights among monuments and piazzas
We hold three nights in a premium four-star hotel within walking distance of Rome's center. On day three, your private guide leads a half-day tour that begins on foot at the Trevi Fountain, the Pantheon and Piazza Navona, then continues by coach to St. Peter's Basilica where you see Michelangelo's Pietà and the soaring interior. The rest of your time is yours to visit the Colosseum and Roman Forum, climb the Spanish Steps, browse Via Condotti's boutiques, or stand in line for the Vatican Museums and the Sistine Chapel ceiling.
Rome in summer means crowds at major sites and heat that peaks in the early afternoon. We schedule your guided tour for the morning and leave you free to retreat indoors during the hottest hours, then return to the streets in the evening when the city cools and locals fill the piazzas.
Arranged for you: Three nights premium four-star accommodation, private airport transfer on arrival, half-day private guided tour of Rome's historic center and St. Peter's Basilica.

Stop 2Sorrento, Campania
Sorrento
Four nights on the clifftop above the bay
We arrange four nights in Sorrento, a clifftop town that faces the Bay of Naples and serves as base for day trips to Capri, Pompeii and Naples. Your hotel sits within reach of the town center, where narrow streets lined with lemon trees and ceramics shops open onto terraces that overlook the water. We leave your days unscheduled so you can take the hydrofoil to Capri's Blue Grotto and Monte Solaro, hire a driver to Pompeii's frescoed villas, or ride the Circumvesuviana train to Naples for pizza at a century-old pizzeria.
The Amalfi Coast in high season means ferry queues, midday heat and the coast road choked with tour coaches. Sorrento's position gives you choices: leave early for Positano before the crowds, or stay in town during the hottest hours and swim from the beach platforms below your hotel.
Arranged for you: Four nights premium four-star accommodation in Sorrento, train tickets from Rome to Sorrento with reserved seats.
