Wake up to breakfast at the hotel, before departing for an exciting day in Capri. Take the ferry and upon arrival head by minibus to Anacapri, in the west of the island, for some free time before making the trip to Capri town for a walking tour. Zigzag up to Anacapri and wander along cobbled alleys of whitewashed houses. The views over the Amalfi Coast are jaw-dropping. In the afternoon, you’ll head back down to Capri, for a walking tour among the jetsetters in the bars, cafés and label-laden boutiques. Among the star turns are the Gardens of Augustus, which overlook the famous Faraglioni rocks. Well worth checking out are the town’s half-dozen dinky baroque churches.

After breakfast, prepare for a half-day excursion to Pompei. Of all the Roman ruins in Italy, none is as poignant or fascinating as Pompeii. More than a moment frozen in time, it’s a window into the past. You’ll discover its remarkably well-preserved houses and landmark sites on the morning excursion to this UNESCO World Heritage Site. Buried under volcanic ash by the 79 AD eruption of Mt Vesuvius – which still looms large in the distance –Pompeii brings to life ancient Rome. You’ll tread the cobbled streets brought to life by a guided commentary through headsets. All the major highlights here are covered – the forum, thermal baths, gymnasium and market piazzas. You can still see frescoes on the walls of the homes of the Roman elite. Walking through its ruins is like leafing through the pages of a living history book.

After breakfast, prepare for an amazing tour along the Amalfi Coast. The best things come in small packages and that is certainly true of this day trip. Using a minibus carrying just up to 21 people, this wonderful drive is like the Amalfi Drive route but with a more personal touch. Make sure you do not miss the three main towns. Start off with a stop in Positano followed by two hours to explore Amalfi. Then it's time for lunch in the old-world village of Pontone, one of the oldest in the region. In the afternoon you will go to Ravello where you will visit Villa Rufolo, the exquisite house that inspired Richard Wagner.

After breakfast at the hotel, enjoy a small group tour. A half-day tour in the outstanding Museo Nazionale Romano, where Roman artistic treasures are kept, and Michelangelo became an architect. Ancient Rome and the Colosseum are huge and overwhelming, but where is all the precious art gone? That's kept in the Museo Nazionale Romano, Palazzo Massimo and Terme di Diocleziano. In the short span of morning hours, you'll see so many famous art treasures away from the crowd and traffic; you'll stroll in an evergreen wood once belonging to the Thermal Baths of Diocletian, what's more, that huge courtyard was restored by Michelangelo! Let your guide treat you with lost statues from the imperial palace such as Myron's Discobolus (Discus Thrower) and the Old Boxer, richly painted frescoes from the Garden Villa of Empress Livia, colorful mosaics and tombs of any sort and kind! At the end of the tour, keep some space in your heart for science and astronomy, as you will walk in the Basilica of Santa Maria degli Angeli, housing the one and only planetary sundial built by XVII century astronomers for the Pope to calculate the perfect sequence of day and night throughout the seasons. Enjoy the pleasure of walking in amazing quietness in front of first-class art pieces and let Rome show you its best treasures!

After lunch enjoy a half-day tour of the Vatican Museums, one of the world’s largest museum complexes, with approximately 2,000 rooms that stretch for nearly 9 miles (15 km) inside the Vatican City. Skip the line with your small group of no more than 12 people. Stroll through the corridors to see the world’s largest private art collection, once intended exclusively for the Pope. Through Raphael’s Rooms, four interconnecting chambers adorned with paintings made by Raphael and his pupils, you will reach the beautiful breathtaking Sistine Chapel, the holy chapel where the Pope is elected and where the conclave is organized, a very special occasion to walk through this sacred Vatican site to admire Michelangelo's astounding frescoes.
