Itinerary

1

Welcome To Italy

Land, drop your bags and dive into Rome. Spend the day exploring at your own pace, and if you fancy two countries in one day, wander over to Vatican City. Tonight we meet the group for a welcome dinner and drinks, Aperol in hand, then head up to our rooftop for city views. Brush up on your Italian.

Exploring Rome

This morning we get our bearings on a walking tour, ticking off the Spanish Steps, the Trevi Fountain, Piazza Venezia and the Pantheon. Then comes the main event: the Colosseum, with entry to the Roman Forum and Palatine Hill too. Tonight is chilled. Grab dinner and maybe wander Trastevere, where outdoor tables and live music fill the square.

Train To Foodie Naples

We hop on the train from Rome to Naples, the food capital of the South. Once we arrive, we stretch our legs on a walk around the area. Then it's sleeves up for a proper Italian cooking class, where you'll learn to make the best pasta you've ever tasted, and sit down to dinner on the dishes you made.

Walking Through Pompeii

A short morning journey takes us to Pompeii, the ancient city buried under metres of ash when Mount Vesuvius erupted in 79 AD. We'll have plenty of time to explore its streets and learn how people lived here. Afterwards, stay longer if you're hooked, or head back to Naples for a wander through the local Mercato Pignasecca.

Herculaneum, Wine And Sorrento

This morning we explore Herculaneum on a guided visit, a lesser-known site where the preservation is even more detailed and intimate than Pompeii. Next, wine tasting at the foot of Mount Vesuvius. In the afternoon a private transfer takes us to Sorrento for an orientation walk above the Bay of Naples, a sunset drink and dinner out.

Path Of The Gods Hike

Early start, cooler air, fewer photobombers. We hike the Path of the Gods for around four hours, stopping for photos, snacks and a lemon slushy. We finish in Positano for lunch and a wander, then take the bus back to Sorrento. If the weather turns, we'll head to Positano by van and spend the afternoon there instead.

Please note: This activity is not possible when the weather is bad. When the weather is poor we will instead head to Positano by van and spend the afternoon there. Don't worry, either way, we'll see the magic of Positano.

Capri, Chairlifts And Aperols

Another early start as we take the hour-long ferry to Capri. Roam the island your way, walking, riding the funicular or catching a bus up to the piazza. Together we ride the chairlift to the island's highest point and explore the Giardini di Augusto. Tonight is our final group dinner: Aperols, tiramisu and the sun going down.

How much is a pre nights accommodation?

Due to the seasonal changes in accommodation prices please contact our sales team info@trutravels.com to get the most accurate price.

Does this trip require a good level of fitness?

We would consider this a more active tour than some of our other European adventures as we include a longer walk on day 6 - the Path of the Gods hike! The trail is about 7km (4.5 miles) long and can take anywhere from 3 to 5 hours. There are some points on the walk that might be steep or have uneven terrain and be prepared for the stairs down to Positano - 1700 in total!

 

But don’t worry, if you don’t feel up for tackling the stairs then there is the option of hopping on a local bus and meeting the group there!

 

We always receive different levels of fitness on our tours, at the end of the day the important thing is to bring good vibes & positive attitude and you will make it!

Can you cater for dietary requirements on this trip?

Let us know when you are booking your trip about any requirements you might have so we can plan ahead!

Are there any baggage restrictions for this trip?

There is no limit on the baggage allowance - however, you will need to be able to place the luggage in the storage facilities on the train. Often these will be overhead. We recommend bringing a backpack which will be easier to store on the train.
