Day 2Trevi fountain, Spanish Steps, Vatican City & lots more

Don’t forget to throw a coin and make a wish! Be prepared to walk all day as there is no better way to explore a new city like Rome than on foot. Reach finally the Vatican city where you will be left free to visit the St. Peter’s Basilica house of the Pope or book an informative 2h guided walking tour of the Vatican Museums including the Sistine Chapel ( tickets of the Vatican museums are included ).

Day 4Pompeii - Sorrento

Meet your guide in the morning to travel towards the South of Italy. The first stop of the day will be Pompeii where you will have free time to enter the site and admire the antique Roman settlements. If you wish to book our guided tour inside the site with a licensed tour guide, make sure you add it to your booking. This tour comes really recommended because as locals we know how important this historical site is and how important it is to have a licensed tour guide of Pompeii showing you around and pointing out the main parts instead of looking out at old rocks without knowing what you are looking at.

After Pompeii, we will continue towards Sorrento driving along the coast with spectacular views of the Vesuvio. Our accommodation for the next 3 nights will be in a camping village located on top of the hill with terrific scenery of Sorrento and the coast. After check in you will be taken for a walk around the city center and to a limoncello shop to taste and learn how this typical liqueur of the South is produced. In the evening enjoy an optional 4-course dinner based on some delicious pasta or gnocchi and traditional food of the area in a local restaurant in Sorrento. End the day by the beach next to the old marina with a drink in your hand while enjoying the Gulf of Naples at night.

Day 5 Boat trip to Capri Island

What a perfect way to start the day with a boat trip to and around Capri island. Our boat will leave directly from our campsite at 8:30 am in the morning. Bring your beach towel and swimsuit because you will have the opportunity to swim. Once in Capri, you will be free to explore the island, relax on the beach, take the chairlift up to the top of Mt. Solaro for a breathtaking 360 degree view of the island and visit the Blue Grotto. All this in complete freedom or follow your tour leader for an insight view of the island. Once back to the accommodation you will be taking for a swim in a spectacular natural pool of emerald water set among the ancient Roman ruins. Spend the evening as you prefer.
