Sorrento

A driver meets you in the arrivals hall at Naples airport and takes you to your hotel in Sorrento. The rest of the day is yours to settle in.
Capri
Day 2 · Capri
Take the ferry across to Capri and a minibus up to Anacapri for free time among its whitewashed lanes and views over the coast. In the afternoon a walking tour of Capri town takes in its cafés and boutiques and the Gardens of Augustus, which look down on the Faraglioni rocks.
Pompeii
Day 3 · Pompeii
A morning at Pompeii, with commentary through headsets as you walk the forum, the baths, the gymnasium and the market squares. Frescoes still colour the walls of some of the grander houses, and Vesuvius stands in the distance. The afternoon is free.
Positano, Amalfi and Ravello
Day 4 · Positano, Amalfi and Ravello
A minibus carrying no more than 21 people follows the coast to Positano, then allows two hours in Amalfi. Lunch is in Pontone, one of the oldest villages in the area, and in the afternoon you visit Villa Rufolo in Ravello, the house that inspired Richard Wagner.
Rome

A driver takes you to Naples station for the fast train to Rome, where another driver meets you and takes you to your hotel. Later, a pastry chef in the city centre shows you how to make tiramisu from the biscuits up, and introduces you to gelato with a tasting of several flavours.
Day 6 · Rome
A small group morning in the Museo Nazionale Romano, home to much of ancient Rome's finest art, including the Discus Thrower, the bronze Boxer and painted frescoes from the villa of the Empress Livia. Walk the cloister of the Baths of Diocletian, restored by Michelangelo, and finish in the Basilica of Santa Maria degli Angeli with the great sundial laid out by 17th century astronomers.
Vatican City
Day 7 · Vatican City
A free morning, then an afternoon in the Vatican Museums with a group of no more than 12 and skip-the-line entry. Pass through the Raphael Rooms to the Sistine Chapel and Michelangelo's frescoes, before your guide leaves you in St Peter's Square to visit the basilica and the Pietà at your own pace.
