On our small group to the Amalfi Coast, our itinerary is as follows:
![]()
o Day 1: Arrive in Sorrento via high-speed luxury train. Check into our wonderful sea-side hotel.
o Day 2: Our private limo picks us up at the hotel. It is a day in heaven! We visit Positano, Amalfi, and the hilltops of Ravelo. There is plenty of time to savor the Italian coast on your own.
o Day 3: We’ll catch the hydrofoil for a wonderful day on the island of Capri. Part of our tour will be a walking guided tour with a professional guide. On the schedule is the famous Blue Grotto (weather permitting), Mount Solaro, Villa San Michele, and the Church of San Michele. There is plenty of time to enjoy a café on your own, stroll the idyllic coastal island, and return to Sorrento on your own schedule.
o Day 4: Our private limo picks us up for a guided tour of Pompeii and Herculaneum. We plan to arrive back at our hotel in Rome in the early evening.
