Overview
Experience the history, culture, and breathtaking scenery of southern Italy on a journey from Rome to the stunning Amalfi Coast.
Begin in Rome, the “Eternal City,” where you’ll explore iconic landmarks including the Spanish Steps, Trevi Fountain, Pantheon, and Piazza Navona while immersing yourself in centuries of history and culture.
Continue to the Sorrentine Peninsula for a five-night stay in Sorrento, offering a relaxed base to explore one of Italy’s most picturesque regions. Discover the ancient ruins of Pompeii, enjoy a winery visit and tasting, and take part in a hands-on cooking experience at a traditional Italian farmhouse.
Take in the dramatic beauty of the Amalfi Coast as you visit the iconic towns of Positano and Amalfi, and enjoy time to relax and explore at your own pace.
This experience is operated by Collette and features a fully guided journey with a professional Tour Manager at destination, connecting each experience with expert insight, comfortable accommodations, and seamless travel throughout.
This journey offers a well-balanced introduction to southern Italy, combining the historic treasures of Rome with the scenic beauty of Sorrento and the Amalfi Coast.
Travelers can expect a moderately active pace with a blend of guided sightseeing, immersive cultural experiences, and leisure time. The itinerary features two nights in Rome followed by a five-night stay in Sorrento, allowing for a more relaxed exploration of the Amalfi Coast region.
Walking is required throughout the tour, particularly in Rome and in coastal towns along the Amalfi Coast. Travelers should be comfortable walking for extended periods of time, often two to three hours at a time, on cobblestone streets, uneven terrain, and moderate inclines. In Rome, sightseeing days may include approximately 3 miles of walking with limited opportunities to sit during guided tours.
Visits to historic and coastal towns such as Sorrento, Positano, and Amalfi involve navigating narrow streets, steps, and uneven surfaces. In Positano, travelers should be prepared to climb multiple flights of stairs without handrails, as access is entirely on foot.
The visit to Pompeii involves extensive walking through a large, fully pedestrian archaeological site with steep inclines and uneven cobblestone paths. There is no vehicle access within the site, and surfaces can be irregular and slippery.
Due to the geography of the region, some of the most scenic locations have limited motorcoach access. Travelers should be prepared to walk to access viewpoints, shops, and historic areas, often through crowded pedestrian zones.
This itinerary includes travel along the Amalfi Coast, where roads are narrow, winding, and subject to traffic conditions. Boat excursions operate based on sea and weather conditions and may be adjusted or replaced if necessary. Travelers prone to motion sickness or seasickness should take appropriate precautions.
Ferry and boat excursions may involve waiting in line for extended periods, sometimes without seating and with limited shade. Patience and flexibility are recommended during these experiences.
The tour includes a balance of structured sightseeing and free time. Several afternoons and one full day are available for independent exploration, allowing you to relax, enjoy the coastal atmosphere, or discover local shops, cafés, and scenic viewpoints at your own pace.
Accommodations in Sorrento are set in a scenic hillside location overlooking the Bay of Naples. Hotel layouts may include steps, outdoor pathways, and varying elevations, and room views may vary depending on location within the property.
This tour is ideal for travelers seeking a combination of iconic Italian landmarks, immersive cultural experiences, and breathtaking coastal scenery, while maintaining a well-paced and rewarding travel experience.
Travel with confidence knowing your experience is supported by a trusted local team dedicated to making your journey smooth, enjoyable, and memorable from start to finish.
