This all-Italian adventure swings you from this historic beauty of Rome through the home of pizza, Naples (where you can stop off in the perfectly preserved Roman town of Pompeii). Then, it's all about living the good life on the Amalfi coast, sipping limoncello, and stopping off at picture perfect Positano (if you're here in the summer) and Sorrento during those breezy winter months. Back in Rome you'll get a chance to check out the Colosseum, before this unforgettable 6-day trip comes to an end.

FAQs
- London: What does a modular trip mean? A modular trip means fellow travellers will join and leave at various locations. There’ll be some goodbyes, sure, but there’ll also be plenty of hellos with new like-minded travellers.
- Rome: Can arrangements be made for travellers with accessibility needs? If you require arrangements to be made for your accessibility needs, please inform your Trip Manager as soon as possible. We try our best to contact all accommodations and secure ground floor rooms for easy wheelchair access.Please remember that Italy can be physically challenging to get around. Coaches can’t access historical centers, and there will be lots of walking (on roads that are often uneven and cobbled). Travellers with accessibility needs will find this trip challenging.
- Madrid: Do the included meals have a set menu? Yep. Usually, we arrange a buffet for all your included meals. If you’d like a vegetarian option, please inform your Trip Manager beforehand, and they’ll sort it out for you.
- Rome: When would be the best time to book tickets for museums and other attractions? This would depend on the museums & attractions you’re planning to visit. If you’d like to know the exact timings, please contact our 24x7 Helpline to access your day-to-day itineraries to check when you’ll have free time in each city.
- Madrid: I need to refrigerate my medication. Can I do that on the coach? Of course! Just inform your Trip Manager if you need refrigeration on the coach. Please remember that the fridge is turned off overnight, so you’ll have to take your medication with you into your accommodation. We recommend that you bring a cooler bag with you as a backup. It’s your responsibility to store your medication with care.
Included Experience
- Amalfi Coast: Definitely one for the bucket list. Your chance to view one of Europe’s active volcanoes from a distance.
- Capri: Chill on the beaches of this Mediterranean jewel. Explore the famous boutiques then stop off for a Spritz in the sun.
- Amalfi Coast: Live your best life like a local (on a ferry!) as you glide through azure seas, past cliffs filled with rainbow-coloured buildings.
- Positano: Ramble through the wisteria-lined streets and past sun-bleached houses as you live La Dolce Vita. Don’t forget an iconic selfie with the village backdrop.

Our trip guide is nothing short of amazing. Everything was well planned, she accommodated us very well and handled any hiccups smoothly.

I loved my trip! I felt like I saw so much (without having to plan much) and I was so happy with the result. Our tour director was phenomenal. I think he did an especially good job at setting expectations- for example, he gave us a good picture ahead of time regarding the lemon farm being a bit of a hike and the accommodations in Naples being a little different from what we're used to. The booking process was good. The only thing I would change would be some technical issues- I had some problems accessing the site with one of my emails. It would've also been nice to have a little more help arranging pre-trip accommodations; I was able to book a hotel but not airport transfers.

The trip was for my wife and I’s honeymoon. It was the best trip I have been on. Very well structured and organised. The trip manager was so helpful and informative. His local knowledge was of great assistance and made the experience one to remember. The bus driver was very funny and friendly. They were a great pairing together. Visiting the ancient city of Pompeii was spectacular. The sights of Naples, the day trips via boat around the Amalfi Coast were incredible offering perfect views. It will be definitely be a holiday that my wife and I will not forget. M & E Melb, Aus. The trip was very easy to book, the information provided was very accurate and gave us insight into the experiences we would have and the places we would be visiting.

It was incredible! While we did get to see everything on the itinerary, there was so much more free time than I expected (not a bad thing!) We all got a list of recommendations from our coordinator on places to see, activities to do, and places to eat, so free time was always really easy to figure out! It was super easy to book and I really appreciated the checklist for everything else we'd need to travel (flights, passport, travel insurance).
