Maybe experience some of the best shopping in Europe, browsing stylish Roman boutiques or relax with an espresso.

A visit to Rome is as much about lapping up the dolce vita lifestyle as gorging on art and culture. Idling around picturesque streets, whiling away hours at streetside cafes and people-watching on pretty piazzas are all central to the Roman experience. One of Rome’s great joys is losing yourself in the narrow cobblestone streets that make up Centro Storico.

In the evening, fashionable people descend on the city’s bars and cafes for a sociable aperitivo (drink with snacks) and trattorias hum with activity. Eating out is one of Rome's great pleasures and the combination of romantic alfresco settings and superlative food is a guarantee of good times.

DAY 7 Rome to Pompeii to Sorrento (Amalfi Coast)

Today we depart the magnificence of Rome and journey to the stunning Sorrento peninsula on the Amalfi Coast via the archaeological treasure of Pompeii. Admire the spectacular views of Mount Vesuvius - the only active volcano on mainland Europe - as we make our way towards extraordinary Pompeii. Step back in time amidst Europe’s most compelling archaeological site. Once a thriving and sophisticated Roman city, Pompeii was buried under metres of ash and pumice after the catastrophic eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 A.D. Wander its preserved sites, where excavated Roman villas, ancient street graffiti and haunting plaster casts of Pompeii’s inhabitants offer a unique window into the fascinating lives of its Roman people.

As we leave the stirring site of Pompeii behind, you will have the option to tour the glittering Amalfi coast, with free time to explore the beautiful town of Amalfi or choose to settle into stunning Sorrento with free time to explore Sorrento your own pace. Perhaps one of the most picturesque places on earth, the Amalfi Coast is seductively beautiful; its verdant olive grove clad woodlands giving way to pastel-coloured postcard villages that cascade down cliff faces to meet the crystal clear waters of the Mediterranean. In the ancient town of Amalfi, an alluring Arabic-Norman cathedral overlooks the picture perfect beachfront and the delightful alfresco restaurants lining the town’s main plaza.

The stunning coastal town of Sorrento is the western gateway to the Amalfi. Be dazzled by the iridescent coloured grottos where mountains plunge into the sea in a nail-biting vertical scene of precipitous crags. Seemingly endless picture-perfect turquoise seas and cinematic piazzas with pastel-coloured cascades of villages abound. This truly romantic and handsome clifftop destination was a compulsory stop on the 19th-century 'Grand Tour'. Still today it’s renowned for it’s high-pedigree hotels amid plunging cliffs that cut through the heart of the historical core.

The Amalfi is famous for limoncello (a sweet lemon liqueur), and this is the perfect way to finish off your traditional Italian meal tonight.

Today you’ll have some time to explore Sorrento or enjoy the optional Amalfi Coast tour ($75). Make your choice while on the tour.

Breakfast, Dinner, Overnight Sorrento Region hotel

DAY 8 Explore Sorrento and the Amalfi Coast

Choose how you’d like to experience Sorrento and the Amalfi Coast today with a selection of activities on offer.

Discover the idyllic coastline of golden cliffs, roman archaeological treasures, isolated coves and vast sandy beaches. The Sorrento Peninsula is a relatively undiscovered gem; not so the bustling resort town of Sorrento, where modern resorts now stand - emperors once holidayed. The peninsula’s stunning coastal views and quaint fishing villages are matched only by its lush rolling hinterland covered in olive trees and lemon groves and dotted with sleepy country villages.

Highly recommended is the excursion to the island of Capri. Capri is beautiful – seriously beautiful. You’ll find Capri’s glamorous culture with just a short boat trip across the Bay of Naples. Steep cliffs rise majestically from an impossibly blue sea; elegant villas drip with wisteria and bougainvillea; even the trees seem to be carefully manicured. Capri has charmed everyone from Roman emperors to modern day movie stars. Enjoy the smooth blend of cafés, rugged coastline, ancient Roman monuments and stylish piazzas.

Today is a free flexi-day so you have the choice of activity to suit your mood. You can explore Sorrento and the Amalfi Coast and its amazing attractions yourself at your own pace or choose an optional activity the optional Isle of Capri excursion ($112). Make your choice while on the tour.

Breakfast, Overnight Sorrento Region hotel

DAY 9 Sorrento to Montecassino to Assisi

Today we journey inland to the Latin Valley with its rolling green hills, vineyards and rivers and the town of Monte Cassino. Set at the foot of Monte Cairo with the magnificent Monte Cassino Abbey towering overhead, the city of Cassino was a decisive WWII battle position, enabling the Allies to open a passage to Rome. We pause here to visit the exquisite mountain top site of the impressive Abbey of Monte Cassino. One of Europe’s oldest, the Abbey was founded by St. Benedict in 529 AD, its striking architecture and mountaintop position evoking a tangible sense of ancient grandeur. Restored to its original glory, it is still in use today.

We continue our travels on to the region of Umbria. Known for its striking medieval hilltop towns and picture perfect Italian countryside, Umbria is a region steeped in history and rich in tradition; home to Orvieto’s Gothic cathedral, Assisi’s fresco-clad basilica, winding country roads traversing rolling farmland, dense forest and sunny meadows.

Towering above the dreamy Umbrian countryside sits the medieval hilltop town of Assisi; birthplace of St. Francis and home to the awe inspiring 13th century basilica erected in his honour. Enjoy free time here this afternoon where you can perhaps discover the striking two level basilica, decorated by the greatest artists of the period; one of the Christian world’s most important pilgrimage sites, and then wander the streets of Assisi with its winding roads of the pristine centro storico (historic centre) which affords its own saintly charm.

We share a delicious traditional dinner tonight - perhaps taste some of the black truffles, fine cured meats and full-bodied regional wines which are central to an Umbrian dining experience.

Breakfast and Dinner, Overnight Assisi hotel

DAY 10 Assisi to San Marino to Venice

Today we make our way to glorious Venice via Europe’s third-smallest state to visit San Marino. A nation of clifftop castles and narrowly winding cobbled stone laneways, San Marino is the world’s eldest surviving sovereign state. Dating back to around 300AD, this mountainous microstate is surrounded entirely by northern Italy. Its capital, also called San Marino, with its medieval walled historic town is home to three ancient clifftop citadels, perched high above the countryside and offering stunning vistas towards the Adriatic Sea from their 3300 plus foot precipices.

We arrive into celebrated Venice in the early evening. Venice is built on more than 100 small islands that are lined with splendid Renaissance and Gothic palaces. It has no roads, just canals like the famous Grand Canal. The central square, St. Mark’s Square (Piazza San Marco), contains St. Mark’s Basilica, which is tiled with Byzantine mosaics, and the Campanile bell tower offering views of the city’s famous red roofs. The Islands are interconnected with splendid ornate bridges.

Venice is a truly magical city, a fairy-tail patchwork of beautiful canals and laneways that are thoroughly joyful to explore. You have free time this evening to relax at the hotel or explore Venice with the option to join your tour leader on a twilight water taxi cruise of the Venetian canals.

This evening you will have some time to explore Venice your own way or enjoy the optional Venice by night tour ($45). Make your choice while on the tour.

Breakfast, Overnight Venice area hotel

DAY 11 Explore Venice

This morning we enjoy a walking tour along the canals and ancient narrow laneways through the heart of Venice to find out why this is such a famous city. See the instantly recognisable Rialto Bridge, St Mark's Square, the Bridge of Sighs and the Doge's Palace. A fairy-tale city of dreamlike canals, winding cobbled footpaths and fuschia-pink sunsets, Venice makes a habit of exceeding even the grandest of expectations. The Illustrious Grand Canal reflects atop its waters centuries of Venetian architecture enroute to Piazza San Marco, where St. Mark’s Basilica and the Campanile bell tower offer breathtaking views over this legendary city.

Today enjoy a free day to experience Venetian life at your own pace, visiting places of most interest to you. The main city is small and compact, so you can easily wander from end to end. Explore the canals, sit and relax in the vibrant small squares, browse the chic shops and high-end boutiques, go cafe-hopping, indulge in a gastronomic extravagance or spend time immersing yourself into the fascinating Venetian history, art and culture. With over 400 bridges and endless laneways, one of the best things to do is to just wander… and get lost in Venice.

Perhaps spend the day discovering somewhere in detail, like Gallerie dell’Accademia, Tintoretto's Heaven on Earth, Basilica di San Marco, Palazzo Ducale, Opera at Teatro La Fenice, La Biennale di Venezia, Punta della Dogana or Basilica di Santa Maria Assunta. Maybe explore one of the other Venetian islands, like Murano, Lido, San Giorgio Maggiore or Torcello, each with their own character but distinctly Venice. Try to find Venice’s best Tiramisu (the decadent Italian cake dessert). It was invented in Venice in the 1960s and its secret recipe has been preserved by local restaurants and bakeries, with over 25 different kinds.

Discover the Venetian pleasures of la bea vita (the beautiful life): the wake-up call of the gondoliers' ‘Ooooeeeee!’, a morning spritz in a sunny campo (square), lunch in a vibrant bacaro (bar) and the fuschia-pink sunsets that have inspired centuries of artists.

Today is a free flexi-day so you have the choice of activity to suit your mood. You can explore Venice and its amazing attractions yourself at your own pace or choose an optional activity like the Venice Gondola Ride ($30) or the Murano, Burano & Venetian lagoon tour ($67). Make your choice while on the tour.

Breakfast, Overnight Venice area hotel

DAY 12 Venice to Verona to Italian Lakes

Today we visit ‘fair Verona’; a truly enchanting city of pretty piazzas and medieval laneways which sits on the banks of the stunning Adige River, its multiple picturesque bridges adjoining each side of this ancient metropolis. Famed as the setting of Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet and home to the stunningly preserved 1st Century Roman amphitheatre and city gates. It has the most significant monuments of Roman antiquity north of Rome. We pause to admire Juliet’s balcony – where Romeo is said to have wooed the seemingly shy yet brave and independent Juliet.

With our hearts full of drama and romance we continue on to the spectacular Italian Lakes – here you will understand why famous writers like DH Lawrence and Hemingway were so inspired by this region of Italy. With a holiday alure dating back to Roman times, Italy´s five stunning glacial lakes are astounding in their beauty. Set against a backdrop of the towering Alps, picturesque villages, rustic churches, rolling vineyards and Roman archaeological treasures line the shores as fishing boats bob amidst the Italian Lakes peaceful cerulean waters. Gardens burst with colour, restaurants serve divine local specialties and grand Belle Époque hotels line the waterfront. We enjoy a delicious Italian Lakes meal together this evening.

Breakfast, Dinner, Overnight Italian Lakes hotel

DAY 13 Italian Lakes to Cinque Terre to Lucca

Today we farewell the stunning Italian Lakes district to discover more of Italy’s phenomenal allure and intrigue with the idyllic collection of villages that are known as Cinque Terre. Where colourful houses and vineyards cling to steep terraces along some of the most dramatic coastal scenery on the planet. Cinque Terre is pure riviera romance. Walkways and a single train line connect the car free villages, colourful fishing boats line the stone harbours and waterfront trattorie turn out local seafood specialties and wines along with the Liguria region’s famous sauce - pesto. Enjoy wonderful free time exploring the towns by train or by foot, perhaps try some of the finest seafood in Italy.

This afternoon we meet our dreams of Tuscany - the essence of old Italy. Birthplace of Renaissance art and architecture and famous for its olive oil, wine and artisan pasta, its lyrical landscapes will leave you mesmerized. Golden wheat fields, silver olive groves and undulating vineyards adorn the hillsides and valleys, as medieval hilltop villages soar up from amidst the cypress trees.

Our resting place tonight is hidden behind magnificent Renaissance walls, the enchanting fortress town of Lucca is home to a charming labyrinth of cobblestone streets and pretty piazzas; a glorious tapestry of terracotta roofs punctuated by church spires and tree-lined ramparts soaring above this delightfully historic Tuscan cityscape. Birthplace of famous composer Giacomo Puccini, centuries of history reverberate through café lined promenades, where locals sip on Lucchesi wine and enjoy rustic Tuscan cuisine.

Breakfast, Overnight Lucca hotel

DAY 14 Lucca to Pisa to Florence to Tuscany

Today we journey through spectacular Tuscan countryside made famous by numerous great painters, to see the legendary 800 year old Leaning Tower of Pisa. This compelling small city is best known for an architectural venture gone very wrong. The leaning tower is one of the most memorable sights in Europe and one of the seven medieval wonders of the world. Enjoy some free time here to ensure you capture the best images possible for your inspirational collection.

Continue to the renowned Tuscan capital of Florence for a walking tour with a local guide. It’s the cradle of the Renaissance culture; it’s romantic, enchanting and completely irresistible. Learn about the legacy of the Medicis and see the Duomo and Piazza della Signoria, featuring Michelangelo’s ‘David’. See the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore and Ponte Vecchio.

The breathtaking terracotta-tiled dome of the Duomo cathedral rises up above narrow cobbled streetscapes, dotted with 15th and 16th century palazzi, medieval candle-lit chapels, marble basilicas and fresco-clad churches. Artistic and architectural masterpieces lay in wait at every turn; from Botticcelli’s The Birth of Venus to Michelangelo’s ‘David’ in the Piazza della Signoria.

After the tour, learn about refined Italian leather-crafting as we visit a well-loved local leather craftsman. See why Italy has been famous for leather production for centuries.

DAY 15 Tuscan Hills to San Gimignano to Siena to Rome

Today we journey through one of the world’s most picture-book countryside landscapes admiring Tuscan farmhouses, fertile vineyards and lush olive groves on our way to the walled town of San Gimignano with its 14 towers which rise up like a medieval Manhattan. Encircled by 13th-century walls, the striking hilltop town of San Gimignano ascends amidst the gorgeous Tuscan countryside; its legendary towers - built in aristocratic rivalry by feuding nobles – surge above the charming historic town. The village’s fresco adorned cathedral, beautifully preserved architecture, enticing rural surrounds and ancient skyscrapers create an unmistakably Tuscan encounter.

We continue to the medieval masterpiece of Siena. Here we'll enjoy a special wine tasting accompanied with antipasto. One of Italy’s best-preserved medieval cities, Siena is home to a remarkable ensemble of red brick gothic architecture and early Renaissance art.
