Travel Map

DAY 1 - FLORENCE
Benvenuti in Italia, welcome to Italy.

Here you are in Florence, the land of Giotto and Dante! Despite its international fame and greatness, Florence is also a small city, whose history is interwoven with that of its passionate citizens for more than one thousand year...

DAY 2 – SIENA
Today you will visit Siena, the city of the Palio, where you will walk on the famous Piazza del Campo, the concave square where horses run twice a year in a dangerous race that symbolizes the city’s freedom (see article in our BLOG).

But, maybe, the thing that you are...

DAY 3 – VAL D'ORCIA
Val d’Orcia is maybe the most beautiful country area in Italy, included by UNESCO in the list of World Heritage Sites. Its landscape is a part of the agricultural hinterland of Siena, redrawn and developed when it was integrated in the territory of the city-state in the ...
DAY 4 - TIVOLI
Today you will discover one of Italy’s hidden gems! Here is Tivoli, a small town in Lazio, about 30 Km east of Rome. The first major sight is Hadrian’s Villa: Emperor Hadrian built it to escape the crowd and turmoil of the capital. Much of the enormous, luxurious ancient...
DAY 5 - POMPEI
On your way to Amalfi, today you will stop in Pompeii, the Roman city escavated from the ashes of the Vesuvius, a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1997!

In 62 A.D. Pompei was partially destroyed by an earthquake, and as its reconstruction was still ongoing, on August ...

DAY 6 - AMALFI COAST
Welcome to the Amalfi Coast.

Amalfi has a typically Mediterranean architecture, made up of lanes and characteristic white houses piled one upon the other. In the Middle Ages, it was of Italy's four powerful maritime republics (with Venice, Pisa, and Genoa). All sea tr...

DAY 7 – CAPRI
An island that offers a landscape of wild beauty sculpted by wind, sea and the hand of man, this is Capri. With a precipitous, jagged coast, and encircled by the famous “Faraglioni” (sea stacks), enormous and uniquely-shaped boulders, and by numerous caves that tell of e...
DAY 8 – ROME
On our way to Rome, you will pass by Montecassino, where you will admire the Benedectine Abbey which was built 4 times after destruction over the centuries, the last in 1944 during a fierce battle.

Here you are in Rome, a place where ancient history, excellent art and...

DAY 9 – VATICAN CITY
On the other side of River Tevere, head for the Vatican hill, home of the tiny state of Vatican city. Here stands the immense St. Peter’s Basilica, dominating the extraordinary Piazza framed by the magnificent four column-deep colonnades designed by Gian Lorenzo Bernini....

Guides
FAQ: Why should I choose to have a Tour Leader on board? The Tour Leader is going to be the person fully in charge with your Tour, acting also as tourist guide and driver. He is knowledgeable about history, art, and generally about the Country, more a travelling companion and a coordinator than a guide, for a much more rewarding experience. He will take care of all your needs and lead you throughout the itinerary, with secret insights on locations, food, habits and people.
Cancellation policy

Please, see our cancellation policy at www.vitor.it/termsandconditions. We rarely have cancellations but if you do, through illness or any other reason, there would be a charge. We strongly recommend taking out travel insurance to cover any cancellation charges.

Travel Insurance
We strongly recommend purchasing travel insurance alongside your travel package to safeguard against unforeseen circumstances such as medical expenses, trip cancellations, and other contingencies. It offers you peace of mind and ensures you are prepared for unexpected events that may occur before or during your journey
Visa requirements
Visa requirements vary depending on your country of origin and your country of destination. It is your responsibility to familiarize yourself with the relevant requirements. For a handy tool that can help you quickly find the requirements, please visit this link .
Meals Included

with Continental Breakfast

FAQ: What meals are included? When accommodations are provided by us, delicious breakfasts are always included. We may also include some dinners, either at the hotel or in a local home-style restaurant, including beverages but not wine or spirits. The other meal, usually lunch, is taken in local pubs and restaurants. This meal is not included in the price of the tour and is to be paid each time by the traveller.

Can special dietary needs be accommodated? In Italy properties are perhaps less inclined to make special efforts in this area, so please be understanding if hotels, restaurants and bars are not as familiar with your particular dietary needs as at home. We will do our best to satisfy your dietary needs or at least provide options for you, but you should make any restrictions clear to us at the time of booking so we can pass the information on to hotels. Common dietary requests like ‘low sodium’ or ‘vegetarian’ are likely to be accommodated much easier than very special or unique dietary needs. Meals that are full a la carte offer more flexibility for special dietary requests.

Age Requirements
No age restrictions
What documents should I have for travelling with my children? All children under 18 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. Pls see comprehensive information at www.vitor.it/identification We will not be responsible for the disruption of travel caused by improper documentation for children travelling abroad without both parents. Can my child stay alone in his/her room? In compliance with our partner hotels and for the safety and security of our guests, minors must be booked into the same room as an accompanying adult. Are there children's meals in your tours? In some cases there could be menus available for children, but please note that in Italy these options may not be typical "kids' meals."
