Gladiators & Gelato

Day 1  Rome        
Leave home in the morning and arrive in the Eternal City of Rome in time for lunch; spend the afternoon at leisure to relax into your holiday.

Day 2  Rome        
Enjoy two full days immersing yourselves in the heart of the ancient Roman Empire. Join a small group tour of the impressive Colosseum and Roman Forum with an entertaining and educational guide. Walk in the footsteps of the mighty gladiators as you learn of the area’s fascinating history in a fun and exciting way.

Day 3  Rome        
Why not visit the old baths of Caracalla, where a virtual reality tour will take you back to how life once was almost 2,000 years ago? Tonight visit the colourful, cobbled streets of Trastevere for a delicious Italian pizza or pasta at one of the local restaurants.

Day 4  Rome to Amalfi Coast    
This morning pick up your car and head south to the glorious coastline of the Sorrento Peninsula. Settle into your private villa and perhaps take a refreshing plunge in the pool before lighting up the barbecue for a tasty evening meal as you look forward to a relaxing week of quality family time.

Days 5-7  Amalfi Coast  
With your own car, enjoy the flexibility to explore the beautiful Sorrento peninsula at your own pace. Set aside a day to discover the ancient city of Pompeii, almost unchanged since it was buried by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in AD79. If you’re feeling active, perhaps hike to the summit of the sleeping volcano itself and peer into the rocky crater.

Days 8-10  Amalfi Coast        
In between relaxing beside your private pool, perhaps catch a ferry to the idyllic island of Capri. Join a local tour to cruise around its glistening waters and venture into the renowned Blue Grotto, or take a chair lift ride from Anacapri to the summit of Monte Solaro for panoramic views of the entire island.

Day 11  Amalfi Coast to Naples    
Enjoy a final morning by the pool before driving to Naples for your flight home.
