About this trip

An 11-day guided tour across Italy by high-speed train, starting in Venice and finishing in Rome, with stops in Florence, Tuscany, Pompeii and Sorrento along the way.

You get a mix of city walking tours and free time, with a few set-piece experiences built in: a gondola ride in Venice, a day trip to Capri, and a cruise along the Amalfi Coast from your base in Sorrento.

It's a fairly classic first-timer's route through Italy, covering a lot of the country's best-known sights without you having to organise trains or transfers yourself.

What you'll do

  • Guided walking tour and gondola ride in Venice
  • Explore Florence, birthplace of the Renaissance
  • See the walled city of Siena and the towers of San Gimignano in Tuscany
  • Walk through the ruins of Pompeii
  • Day trip to Capri and a cruise along the Amalfi Coast from Sorrento
  • Guided walking tour of Rome and a farewell dinner in Trastevere
Good to know
  • You change base several times, including three nights in Sorrento as your longest stop
  • Travel between cities is by high-speed train, with sightseeing done on foot or via included bus tours
  • Rated easy — suits a fairly relaxed pace with guided activities rather than heavy walking or hiking
