Italy’s Golden Riviera with Sorrento, Capri & Rome

Day 1 London – Rome – Sorrento
Titan’s VIP Home Departure Service® transports you from your front door to London Heathrow Airport for your direct, scheduled early morning Alitalia flight to Rome. A complimentary drink and small snack will be served during your flight. On arrival we transfer by coach to Sorrento and the 4★ Grand Hotel Carlton or Hotel La Pace which will be our base for the next four nights. A welcome drink will be served on arrival at the hotel.

Day 2 Capri
We drive to the port by minibus to take the ferry to the idyllic island of Capri, which allures visitors with its rugged coastline and luxurious vegetation, as it did Gracie Fields, who lived here for most of her life. Accompanied by a local guide, we visit the Villa San Michele at Anacapri and then continue to the centre of the town for further exploration. Late in the afternoon we board the ferry to Sorrento.

Day 3 Amalfi Coast
Today we journey on one of the world’s most beautiful routes, the Amalfi Coast. We include the entrance to Villa Rufolo gardens, from whose Italianate terrace there is a peerless view of the coastline below. This evening we travel to the centre of Sorrento to see the Tarantella Show, an entertaining local musical, where you will also be offered a welcome drink.

Day 4 Pompeii
This morning we include a guided tour of Pompeii, the wealthy town that was buried in AD 79 by a massive eruption of Mount Vesuvius. It took just two days to completely engulf the town and its 25,000 inhabitants. We return to Sorrento this afternoon with the opportunity to explore the cobbled streets filled with an abundance of enticing shops.

Day 5 Sorrento – Cassino – Rome
Travelling north today, we take the mountain road to Cassino, which reveals stunning views of the valley below, before arriving at the Monastery of Monte Cassino. Founded in 529 by St Benedict, it was here that the Saint drew up the rules of the Benedictine Order. There may also be time for a stop at the nearby Commonwealth cemetery. Later we arrive in Rome and the 4★ Hotel Palatino, our base for the next four nights a short walk from the Colosseum.

Day 6 Rome
Following an early start, we arrive at the Vatican City, the smallest country in the world and where you will be met by a local guide, who will accompany you on a tour of the Vatican, including the renowned Vatican Museums. Here you will discover one of the world’s most extensive art collections, the crowning glory of which is, of course, the Sistine Chapel. Your introduction to Rome continues with an included tour of St. Peter’s Basilica and Square and a drive through the streets of Rome for an orientation tour. Our final stop is at the Colosseum, where we have entrance included to give us the opportunity to explore this magnificent piece of architecture. Once finished, you are free to make your own explorations from your ideal base in the centre.
Please note the order of visits may vary.

Day 7 Rome
The day at leisure in Rome and there is something to discover around every corner and in every piazza, from the Spanish Steps and the Trevi Fountain to the Pantheon and a stroll along the River Tiber. The best way to see Rome is on foot but there are plenty of cafés to tempt you, so perhaps stop to refresh yourself with an espresso or one of the endless varieties of ice cream along the way!

Day 8 Rome
Our final day is free for you to relax and further enjoy the astonishing sights and sounds that Rome has to offer.

Day 9 London
After breakfast, we board our coach to Rome airport for your direct, scheduled Alitalia flight to London Heathrow Airport where our staff will greet you and transfer you to Titan transport for your journey home to your own front door.
