Day 1: Rome To Sorrento Via Pompeii

Kicking off your adventure in Rome, you’ll meet up with the rest of your crew who are all ready and waiting this morning. We’ll bid ‘ciao’ to Bella Roma and head south for Sorrento, with a special stop on the way. Driving down the coast today, we have the option to check out the ruins of Pompeii, the fascinating Roman town that was destroyed by Vesuvius and then perfectly preserved in volcanic ash. Soak up the sweeping views on route to gorgeous Sorrento, where sun-bleached pastel houses perch along cliffs, tumbling down to the Mediterranean sea. Here you’ll have the chance to treat yourself with a visit to La Sorgente, a nearby locally-owned family mozzarella farm, for an authentic Italian meal complete with fresh homemade mozzarella, rich olive oil and sunshine-coloured limoncello.

Day 2: Sorrento (Including Capri)

It simply wouldn’t be a trip to Sorrento without a side note to... We’ll head over to the island of Capri for the day. With its gorgeous cragged coastline and opulent cafes, it’s easy to see why this is such a playground for the rich and famous. If you’d like to spend some time on the water, opt for a cruise, with swim stops & great views of the coastline. Back in Sorrento, we’ll all tuck into an included dinner.

Day 3: Sorrento To Florence

See you, Sorrento! Thanks for making our Instagram feeds look like shoots for Italian Vogue! Was that thunder?!

Let the Tuscan goodness sink in…
Day 4 Day 4: Florence
12:00 am - 11:59 pm

Day 4: Florence

Woah, what’s that big thing in the sky?! It’s not a hot cross bun, is it… Oh wait, it’s just the Duomo! You know, the one with the famous red dome that sits above Florence? Today after breakfast, we’ll learn all about Duomo, plus the Basilica, Giotto’s Bell Tower, and more as locals show us around the city of Florence with a walking tour. Take your time soaking in the sights. And maybe even grab some lunch at a cosy trattoria. But remember to save some space for dinner. Because tonight, you can choose to join us for a special Tuscan dinner on the hills (with a sumptuous Florentine steak, and more local specialities). It’s ‘La Dolce Vita’ indeed.
Day 5 Day 5: Florence To Lucerne
12:00 am - 11:59 pm

Day 5: Florence To Lucerne

Goodbye, Florence! We’ll get some breakfast, and leave the historical streets for the heavenly lake scenes. With magical views unfolding outside our windows we’ll find ourselves in Switzerland, pulling up in the fairytale town of Lucerne, famous for its wooden bridges, cobbled lanes and beautiful setting against the lake it’s named after. Here you’ll have the chance to take an optional lake cruise (summer only), giving yourself a better look at the epic Swiss Alps reflected off the water. Our other recommendation for tonight? Swiss chocolate.
Day 6 Day 6: Lucerne To Beaujolais Wine Region Via Geneva

Day 6: Lucerne To Beaujolais Wine Region Via Geneva

It’s been sweet, but our time in Lucerne is up this morning. Out with the altitude, in with the French countryside bliss. We’ll jump back onto our coach to cross the border out of Switzerland and into France. But first, there’s just time for one last breath of fresh mountain air. A quick lunch break in the home of the UN’s headquarters and a view of that oh so famous water fountain. Grab a bite to eat and a last mouthful of delish swiss chocolate (try saying that three times fast) and then we’ll be on our way. Rolling into the Beaujolais region of France amidst vineyards, we’ll arrive at Contiki’s very own 16th century château. That’s right, we’re trading hotels for a castle tonight! You’ll stay in multi-share, newly-renovated rooms (with 5 other travellers). What’s more? Not much, just an on-site nightclub, artwork in every room, a games room, a powder room for makeup and hair, a beautiful sprawling garden AND a pool! Tonight we’ll start off with an included dinner and wine tasting here at the château, because, when in France...

After an included dinner at the hotel, our Trip Manager will fill us in on the city’s secrets with a dreamy night-time tour of the ’city of lights’, passing the Eiffel Tower, Arc de Triomphe, the Louvre, the Champs-Élysées, and Notre Dame Cathedral.
