Day 1, Rome - Sorrento with stop in Pompeii
This morning meet your private driver, who will provide a private transfer to Rome Termini Station, where you will board a Business Class High Speed Train to Naples.
Upon arrival at Naples Central Station you will meet our private driver, who will greet you and will drive you to Pompeii, one of the world’s most fascinating archaeological sites in Europe.
Through the remains and ruins of this ancient city you will learn how the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD destroyed the city, killing most of its inhabitants and burying it under tons of volcanic ash. The site was lost for about 1,500 years until it was rediscovered by archaeologists as one of the most important Roman cities. Thanks to the volcanic ashes, most objects of everyday life found have been well preserved for centuries. So you can walk along the ancient streets for a glimpse into the lives of the Romans, discovering ancient houses, bakeries and shops and imagine the everyday life in Roman times. Here you will enjoy a 2-hour fascinating tour of the Excavations with a private guide.
At the end of your tour you will continue to Sorrento with your private driver.
Check-in at your hotel for a 3-night stay.

On the way to Amalfi you’ll pass by the main pearls such as Positano and Praiano. Your first stop will be Amalfi, the famous maritime town, where you will have free time and time for lunch.

Day 3, Sorrento Excursion to Capri and Anacapri
This morning proceed to Sorrento Port, where at 8:00am you will join a Tour that will take you on a beautiful visit of the wonderful island of Capri. Over the years everyone from Roman emperor Caesar to movie screen celebrities have experienced a stay in Capri. And this fabled island is still a playground of the rich and famous today. Capri is gorgeous. It’s an intoxicating mix of flowers, narrow lanes and alleyways. Plus, it’s jam-packed with jewelers’ shops and Chi-Chi boutiques whose racks are weighed down with the works of Gucci, Prada and Dior, to name a few. The scenery is superb, the restaurants exquisite and the vibe so achingly stylish that a walk down the street feels more like a strut on the catwalks of Milan. But it doesn’t end there. This walking tour also takes in the Caesar August Gardens overlooking the famous Faraglioni rocks and the house where Gracie Fields once stayed. There’s an optional visit to Villa San Michele in Anacapri, where you can stroll through the beautiful villa of Dr Munthe and the colourful gardens. Or you could let the chairlift put you on top of the world for a few euros, which takes you to the head-spinning heights of Monte Solaro. This really is paradise found.
