Begin your tour with three nights in Rome where we visit St. Peters Basilica, the Sistine Chapel, the Colosseum and on and on. Next, we motor south to Sorrento for two nights. We'll stop for a visit to Pompeii, the city of ruins dug out from the ashes rained on it by Mt. Vesuvius. Sorrento is advantageously 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. The next three nights' accommodations will be in the romantic city of Florence. From Florence we'll visit Pisa - the most instantly recognizable structure on earth. On to Venice, where we'll spend two storybook nights exploring the canals, bridges and tiny piazzas. And a romantic gondola ride is included. Last stop - two nights in Lugano, Switzerland. We interrupt our trip from Venice to Lugano with a short stop in Verona to see Shakespeare's Juliet's balcony. You'll delight in a guided walking tour of Lugano's traffic-free historic center and Switzerland's natural beauty.
