If you want a short trip packed with historic sites and delicious bites, this eight-day adventure fits the bill. Get to know Italy's 'Eternal City' (Rome), hike up Mt Vesuvius volcano on the Bay of Naples and witness the aftermath of the 79 AD eruption on a guided tour of Pompeii. Then soak up the sunshine in the coastal town of Sorrento, taste limoncello from the source and hike along the beautiful Amalfi Coast. With archaeological sites, gelato making workshops, pizza tastings and a local leader to share their culture, you're all set for a taste of la dolce vita.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
1. A single supplement is available if you’d prefer not to share a room on this trip. The single supplement is subject to availability. Please speak to your booking agent for further information.
2. Please note that the physical rating for this trip is set at 2. While this is correct for the overall trip, there are some components that are of a higher physical rating. Both the climb to the summit of Mt Vesuvius and the hike on the Path of the Gods (Sentiero degli Dei) require a certain amount of fitness. Please read the day-to-day itinerary carefully or speak to your leader for more details. Activities can be opted out of if you don't want to participate.
3. You don't have a lot of time in Rome at the start of the trip, so if you're keen to explore this spectacular city in depth we recommend you arrive a day or two before the start of the trip, especially if you would like to see the Vatican Museum as it is closed most Sundays.
