What's included in Italy Family Holiday 8 Days
(Subject to Option Inclusions)Itinerary
Day 1 | Rome
Rome
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!

Day 2 | Pompeii
Pompeii
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.
