Day 4 :- Florence area – Rome

Passing sunlit valleys of the Chianti wine country and ancient fortresses perched high on the hills, we reach the ‘Eternal City’. On arrival in Rome, we meet our expert local guide who will show us the splendors of Rome and the Vatican City. We first visit the Vatican Museums, to see the Sistine Chapel, and also St. Peter’s Basilica, a renaissance masterpiece. We then take in other sights of Rome – see the Colosseum, the Roman Forum, which was the political centre of the Roman Empire, Piazza Venezia and the spectacular Trevi Fountain, where you may make a wish. Late evening we check into our hotel for a two-nights stay.

Today we drive south down the Italian peninsula and past the well-tilled fields and orchards of the Neapolitan countryside. After crossing Naples, we reach the harbour where we will take the high-speed boat to Capri, the beautiful dream island of the Mediterranean. Weather- permitting, we will take the motor launch and row boats to the unique Blue Grotto, a large cavern lit by sunlight reflecting off the submerged limestone walls. Later you have some time off on your own to browse through the shops. Late afternoon we begin our return journey by the high-speed boat to the Naples harbour and then back to Rome. Return to our hotel.

The morning is at leisure. Later we transfer to the airport for the return flight to London. On arrival we clear customs and immigration, where the tour ends and it is time to say farewell to all the friends you have made on tour.
