Guided Tours of Pompeii & Herculaneum, Overnight in Sorrento

After breakfast, we'll check out of our hotel and travel to Sorrento, our next home base, positioning us for our tours of Sorrento, Capri and the beautiful Amalfi Coast.
 
On the way to Sorrento, we'll tour the lost city of Pompeii, one of the many highlights of your escorted tour of Italy. Thirty feet of hot mud and volcanic ash buried this Roman city completely when Mt. Vesuvius erupted in 79 A.D. We will tour this once-prosperous city, established in 12th century B.C., with our licensed tour guide.  You will see villas, baths, storefronts, houses, pizza parlors, forum and other artifacts from Pompeii’s heyday.  Our tour of Italy also takes us to Herculaneum, an ancient Roman town, which was also buried by Mt. Vesuvius during this eruption.

Group pizza lunch is planned. In the evening, we'll stroll in lovely Sorrento, a charming city perched on a bluff overlooking the Mediterranean sea. Sorrento's impressive seaside cliffs and luxury hotels have attracted such famous personalities as Luciano Pavarotti.  (B, L)

 

DAY 5:
Positano, Farm Visit, Amalfi, Ravello, Overnight in Sorrento
This morning our group will tour a farm where we will also have the opportunity to see how mozzarella cheese is made. We'll also taste this wonderful cheese along; a light lunch is planned. We will also visit beautiful Ravello, situated high above the Amalfi Coast offering picture-perfect views of the town and the coastline below. 

After our group will also tour the breathtakingly beautiful resort town of Positano.  This little town offers many photo and shopping opportunities, between its multi-colored houses clinging to the cliff face overlooking the bay, and the fashionable boutiques and cobblers’ shops along its pedestrian main street. From Positano we will head to beautiful Ravello, situated high above the Amalfi Coast offering picture-picture views of the town and the coastline below.

On the way back to Positano, we will have a short stop in Amalfi, a UNESCO World Heritage site, on the gulf of Salerno.  The 11th century Baroque duomo (cathedral) is at the top of a high staircase and it overlooks the main square, the perfect place to sit and enjoy the town.

We'll return to Sorrento in the evening.  (B, L)

 

DAY 6:
Capri Excursion, Farewell Dinner, Overnight in Sorrento

Today is the last day of our Rome and Amalfi Coast tour.  Our group tours Capri for the day.  After breakfast, we will take a ferry from Sorrento to reach the picturesque island of Capri.

A popular resort since Roman times, this beautiful island is a joy to explore on foot. As you explore this gorgeous island, you may visit historic sites like Villa Jovis (Tiberius Villa), Villa San Michele (a grand mansion), Church of Santa Maria del Soccorso and Charterhouse of San Giacomo, which was a Carthusian monastery. You’ll have time to make some one-of-a-kind purchases in Capri’s world-class shops, and take in the breathtaking views from fun outdoor cafes.

Tonight is our last night together; a wonderful farewell dinner is planned. (B, D)
