Begin your tour with two nights in Lugano, Switzerland, once of the most popular travel destinations in all of Switzerland. On to Venice, where you'll spend two storybook nights exploring the canals, bridges and tiny piazzas. On our way from Venice to Florence, a short but inspiring visit to Padua. Next three nights, accomodation will be in the romantic city of Florence, the fountainhead of Renaissance. From Florence, we travel a short distance to visit Pisa, the most instantly recognizable structure on earth. Back to Florence, perhaps to visit a typical Tuscan winery. Next we motor south to Sorrento for our next two nights. Along the way, a visit to Pompeii, the city perfectly preserved as it was 2,000 years ago! Sorrento has the pleasure of being located over steep cliffs offering fantastic views over the Bay of Naples. Sheer pleasure. We'll also enjoy a visit to the world's most enchanting island, Capri. Last stop - three glorious nights in Rome! We'll visit St Peters Basilica, The Sistime Chapel, the Colosseum and so, so much more.
