This 17-day guided tour takes you from the cool hush of Vatican corridors to the salt-touched air of the Ligurian coast. In Rome, you stand beneath Michelangelo’s painted ceiling in the Sistine Chapel, walk through the Vatican Museums and follow your Local Specialist through the Colosseum. Cinque Terre colours the coast in a wash of fishing boats, cliffside houses and sea spray as you pause in a village by the water, then cruise along the rugged Ligurian coastline. In Florence, Neptune watches over the piazza and dinner arrives with local wine, steak and the deep savour of Tuscan cooking. From Sorrento you glide towards Capri by boat with a Local Specialist, before you ascend to Capri town to look out across the wide sweep of Mediterranean blue. In Alberobello, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, whitewashed trulli lead you to a restaurateur where you taste warm freshly made orecchiette pasta.
You'll arrive in Rome to streets layered with ancient ruins, medieval buildings, Renaissance palaces and Baroque churches, each one carrying the burnished glow of centuries. After time to unpack, you step back out to restaurant chatter, polished stone and waiters weaving between trattoria tables along the street. This evening, you meet your Travel Director and fellow travellers over dinner at a local restaurant, sharing Roman specialities as you pass warm plates and savour the first forkfuls of the trip.
