    Duration12 Days
    CountryItaly

    Naples to Venice, by way of Rome, Florence, Milan and the Italian lakes — twelve days across the whole of Italy.

    Day by Day

    1

    Day 1

    Benvenuti a Napoli

    Your group arrives at Naples airport, where our team is waiting with an exclusive Meet & Greet before the private coach transfer to the hotel. The afternoon is free to recover from the long journey and to take a first taste of the authentic Neapolitan character, its street life and the unmistakable energy of the city. Overnight in Naples.

    2

    Day 2

    Pompeii Frozen in Time

    After breakfast, your group heads out for a private guided visit in Spanish through the imposing archaeological ruins of Pompeii, a city stopped in time and preserved street by street. The morning runs at an unhurried pace among its houses, forums and frescoes. Back in Naples, the afternoon is left entirely free for rest and recovery. Overnight in Naples.

    3

    Day 3

    Amalfi Cliffs & Positano

    The whole day belongs to the most iconic coastline in Italy. Your group travels the spectacular cliffs of the Amalfi Coast at an unhurried, exclusive pace, stopping in the villages of Positano and Amalfi with their stacked houses and steep lanes down to the water. Mediterranean breeze, postcard views and a route planned to stay clear of the summer crush. Overnight in Naples.

    4

    Day 4

    Baroque Heart of the Eternal City

    Breakfast, then the private coach heads north to Rome. On arrival, your group sets out on a guided walk in Spanish through the Baroque heart of the Eternal City: the theatrical Fontana di Trevi, the vast dome of the Pantheon and the elegance of Piazza Navona, all under the warm Roman light of late afternoon. Overnight in Rome.

    5

    Day 5

    Rome at Your Own Rhythm

    After breakfast the day is free for your group to take Rome at its own pace. Two private optional experiences are on the table: the interior of the Colosseum with the Roman Forum and the Palatine Hill, or the Vatican Museums with the Raphael Rooms and the frescoes of the Sistine Chapel. Overnight in Rome.

    6

    Day 6

    Siena, Tuscany & Florence

    Departure for Tuscany. Your group breaks the journey in the medieval town of Siena for a private guided visit and a typical Tuscan lunch, before continuing directly to Florence. Arriving rested rather than road-worn, there is still time in the evening for a first walk beside the Ponte Vecchio and along the river. Overnight in Florence.

    7

    Day 7

    Renaissance Florence & Bolognese Flavours

    In the morning, a private guided walk in Spanish through the Renaissance treasures of Florence, with the Duomo and the historic squares around it. Your group then leaves for Bologna and a gourmet lunch in the gastronomic capital of the country, before the private coach carries on north to Milan for the night. Overnight in Milan.

    8

    Day 8

    Milan Duomo & Lake Como

    After taking in the towering Gothic façade of the Duomo of Milan, your group escapes for the afternoon to Lake Como. A private launch carries the group across to sophisticated Bellagio, where the Alps are mirrored in clear water fringed by aristocratic villas, before the return to the Lombard capital. Overnight in Milan.

    9

    Day 9

    Fashion Milan or Medieval Bergamo

    Breakfast, then a free day for shopping in the fashion capital, or the private optional excursion to Bergamo Alta, fifty minutes away. Those who go ride the historic funicular up to a spectacular walled medieval citadel, walking Piazza Vecchia and the Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore, and return to Milan around midday for a restful afternoon. Overnight in Milan.

    10

    Day 10

    Verona Balconies & Venetian Lagoon

    Departure for romantic Verona, where your group stops to recall the most famous love story in the world in front of Juliet's balcony, and to take in the Arena. The route then continues towards the Venetian lagoon, checking in at Mestre so that the group rests within easy reach of the islands. Overnight in Mestre.

    11

    Day 11

    La Serenissima by Vaporetto

    A private Vaporetto carries your group across the water into the monumental heart of Venice. There, a private guided walk in Spanish covers the iconic Piazza San Marco and the exterior of the Doge's Palace. The afternoon is free to get pleasantly lost among the canals, with optional trips to Murano and Burano or a private gondola serenade. Overnight in Mestre.

    12

    Day 12

    Arrivederci Italia, Venetian Farewell

    After breakfast at the hotel, your group boards the private coach for the transfer to Venice Marco Polo airport. Professional assistance in the terminal takes care of the departure formalities and sees the group through, closing twelve days that ran from the bay of Naples to the Venetian lagoon.
