Buongiorno! Welcome to Italy. With ancient ruins, gelaterias and one of the Seven Wonders of the World, Rome offers your family the perfect first taste of Italy. Your adventure begins with a welcome meeting at 6 pm, where you’ll meet your fellow families and local leader. If you arrive early, why not check out the iconic Sistine Chapel in the Vatican or step inside the arena of the ancient Colosseum, where gladiators once battled. After the meeting tonight, maybe head out for dinner with your group and toast with a slice of pizza (or a forkful of pasta) to the Italian adventure to come – when in Rome!
Jump on the train today as you journey to one of the world’s most famous ancient sites – the preserved city of Pompeii. On 26 August 79 AD, Mt Vesuvius erupted, spewing molten rock and ash all over the city and causing a thriving Roman trading centre to be frozen in time. Spend a few hours on a walking tour around Pompeii – you and your kids will be captivated by the incredible stories behind this ancient tragedy as your local guide brings the history to life. The finely preserved ruins include villas, temples, theatres and a once-bustling marketplace. Your hotel this evening is located very close to the archaeological site, so you won’t have far to go once you decide to call it a day.
Fall in love with Italy and rediscover the rewards of family travel on this carefully crafted trip for both you and the kids. Over eight days, you’ll journey from the ruins of Rome to the shadow of mighty Mt Vesuvius. Deep dive into the history of the ancient ruins of Pompeii, then sit back and relax with a glass of Sangiovese (while the kids chase wild rabbits) on the farmlands of an agriturismo. Take a daytrip to the island of Capri and redesign family pizza night after learning the tricks of the trade in a cooking demonstration in Sorrento. With all the logistics and essential experiences taken care of, you can treat yourself to some family time on an Italian adventure that does the job, so you don’t have to.
