Sample Itinerary

Day 1: Take to Rome

Morning/Afternoon

Step off the plane and take a private coach to your accommodation. Check into the hotel and make your way out to explore all of Rome’s must-sees. Marvel at the historic Trevi fountain, the Pantheon and the Spanish Steps.

Evening

Feast on a welcome dinner and come together for a trip briefing to get you prepped for the week’s adventures.

Day 2: The Baths of Trajan & the Colosseum

Morning

Check out the Baths of Trajan and see the ruins of ancient Roman baths.

Afternoon

Relax with a scenic lunch near the magnificent Colosseum. Squeeze in a visit to see the Michelangelo statue at the Basilica di San Pietro in Vincoli, too. Enjoy a guided visit to the Colosseum and Roman Forum and take part in the Learning Adventure photo competition. There are so many interesting facts about these ancient sites – did you know the Colosseum was used to stage ‘naumachia’? They’d fill the theatre up with water and hold real naval battles.

Evening

After dinner, walk down the Via del Circo Massimo for beautiful views of the Palatine Hill before visiting the Garden of Oranges for superb views of the Vatican.

Day 3: Fascist Architecture & Pasta Class

Afternoon

Learn about fascist architecture and Mussolini’s regime on a tour of the city.

Evening

After a long day of out-and-about learning, roll your sleeves up for a pasta-making lesson and, of course, enjoy your tasty creations for dinner!

Day 4: Naples’ Mosaics

Morning

Catch the train to Naples and check into your accommodation.

Afternoon

Grab some lunch, then get exploring! Start off with a walking tour around the city. Take in incredible panoramic views of Vesuvius from a castle and indulge on fabulous Neapolitan snacks. Afterwards, visit the National Archaeological Museum to see the original mosaics that were discovered and brought back from Pompeii and Herculaneum.

Evening

It’s been a day of great food – so don’t break the streak! Dine at a traditional Naples pizzeria.

Day 5: Vesuvius & Pompeii

Evening

It’s your last night – celebrate this awesome trip with a final Italian dinner.
