A sample journey
Rome, Florence and the Amalfi Coast
Ancient Rome, Renaissance Florence, a day among Tuscan vineyards and slow days on the Amalfi Coast. This is one way I would plan Italy for a first or second visit. Yours would be built around you.

Day by day
How the journey unfolds
Days 1 to 3Rome
A private driver meets you at the airport and takes you to a boutique hotel in the historic center. The next morning, a private guide takes you into the Vatican Museums and the Sistine Chapel before the crowds arrive. On day 3 you explore the Colosseum and the Roman Forum with a guide, then spend the evening in Trastevere for dinner.
Days 4 to 6Florence and Tuscany
A 90-minute high-speed train brings you to Florence by lunchtime. Reserved entry to the Uffizi and to Michelangelo's David means no waiting in line. On day 6 a private driver takes you into Chianti for tastings at two family wineries and a long lunch among the vines.
Days 7 to 10The Amalfi Coast
You take the train south, and a private driver brings you along the coast road to Positano or Ravello. One day is spent on a private boat to Capri, with stops to swim. Another can be Pompeii with an expert guide or the gardens of Ravello. The last day is yours: the beach, a long lunch or simply the view.
Day 11Home
A private transfer takes you to Naples airport for your flight home.

Make it yours
Every trip I plan is different
Some ways to change this one:
