About this trip
Ten days through Italy taking in Venice, Rome and Sorrento, run as a small group rather than a big coach tour. The pace is easy and the hotels are boutique or 4-star, chosen for location as much as comfort.
You'll see the big sights — the Colosseum, the Vatican — alongside slower moments like a gondola ride through Venice's canals and wine tasting in a medieval Tuscan town. There's room for the smaller, sillier bits too, like a Vespa ride and a proper cappuccino stop.
Travel between cities is by train, which keeps things comfortable and a bit greener than flying. Guides lean towards storytelling over rigid itineraries, so there's flexibility built in rather than a tight schedule to chase.

- Tour the Vatican
- Ride a gondola through Venice's canals

Worth it if you value flexibility and good-value four-star hotels with responsive support. Think twice if you need air-con guarantees or prefer centrally located accommodation without extra transport costs.
- Wanderful staff solve problems fast: sorted emergency transfers and arranged birthday surprises via WhatsApp.
- Hotel quality inconsistent: some rooms lacked AC, had bad smells, or didn't match advertised descriptions.
- Sorrento accommodation is often in hills above coast, not beachfront, requiring extra transport planning and costs.
- Train upgrades worth the cost; hotels vary in location so check vicinity before arrival to plan days properly.
