Welcome to Italy. After clearing customs, meet your Tour Director who will assist with your transfer to the Amalfi Coast. A Welcome Dinner is included this evening.
Day 3 – Sorrento Coast
Start the day with a Sorrento Walking Tour, a coastal town facing the Bay of Naples on the Sorrentine Peninsula, perched atop cliffs that separate the town from its marinas. Sorrento is known for sweeping water views and Piazza Tasso, a café-lined square filled with artisan shops selling local wares.
The historic center is home to the Chiesa di San Francesco, a 14th-century church, and is the birthplace of the limoncello liqueur. Enjoy a limoncello demonstration on how it’s made, followed by a tasting.

Day 4 – Sorrento Coast – Maiori – Amalfi (UNESCO)
After breakfast, meet your Tour Director for a full-day excursion of the Amalfi Coast. The Amalfi Coast claims to be Europe’s most magnificent stretch of coastline and extends from Positano in the west to Vietri sul Mare in the east.
Today we see why, with its breathtaking scenery, glamorous resorts hidden away on spectacular corners, winding roads passing citrus plantations, vineyards, and tiny villages clinging to jagged cliffs that plunge straight into the sea.
Continue to Amalfi, named a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The first view of Amalfi is unforgettable, with its tightly packed villas and palaces seeming to tumble down the cliffside into the fishing port and beach below. Amalfi was once a maritime power to rival Venice, and its golden age is symbolized by its stunning cathedral and the Piazza Duomo.
We’ll also visit picturesque Maiori, a popular resort town with the largest stretch of beach on the Amalfi coastline.
Day 5 – Sorrento Coast

Day 7 – Sorrento Coast – Pompeii – Rome
This morning after breakfast, depart the Sorrento area for Pompeii, one of Italy’s most unique and famous archaeological sites. Enjoy a fascinating guided visit to this site.
Imagine a city perfectly preserved as it was on that fateful day 2,000 years ago when Mt. Vesuvius erupted, covering the city in deadly volcanic ash and lava, literally stopping time in its tracks. You’ll see the tragic fossils of people attempting to escape and the haunting ruins.
