Overview

Click map for larger size

This classic Italian vacation is our most popular, with departures throughout the year. Two-night stays in Rome, Florence, Lake Maggiore**, Venice, and Sorrento, plus one night in St. Francis' Assisi offer plenty of time to visit the main sights with a Local Guide. Discover St. Peter's, the Sistine Chapel, the Colosseum, Michelangelo's David, St. Mark's, Doges' Palace, and the Bridge of Sighs. Also stop to see Pisa's Leaning Tower, in vibrant Milan, in Switzerland's subtopical Lugano, in Romeo & Juliet's Verona, and in Ravenna to visit the Basilica of St. Apollinaris of Classe. From Sorrento, visit Pompeii at the foot of Mount Vesuvius and the Isle of Capri, including a jetfoil ride and a funicular ride to Capri village.

Departures Oct 25th-Dec 20th, overnight in Milan instead of Lake Maggiore. Dinner and Lugano visit on day 6 are not included.
