Bask in the beauty of the Amalfi Coast and marvel at the remains of ancient Pompeii before venturing by train to Sicily - home to Mount Etna.

Unforgettable experiences
What’s included
Itinerary
Your holiday begins today as you arrive at London St Pancras International, where you meet the Tour Manager and your group of fellow travellers. Together, we join the train to Paris, travelling in style in spacious Eurostar Plus, where we are served a light meal at our seats.
Changing trains in the French capital, we continue by First Class rail to Turin in northern Italy. This city of Baroque architecture has an incredible history, and as we approach this evening, you may notice its Alpine backdrop, which only adds to the overall charm of the region.
A coach transfer takes us to our hotel on arrival, and after checking in for the night, we walk to a nearby restaurant for our first three-course dinner together.

I think the tour was great there was some hiccups and some issues along the way that I did not like and would like to express to the company how it affected the tour and how they might think about making it right! My Tour Manager was the best Judith made the tour better then it was Becca of all the effort she put in to try to make it right she was amazing but with all said and Done the company did not make it right yet and that was very disappointing!!

The hotels and travelling logistics was excellent and well planned. Communication prior to the holiday was good. The cities we visited and day excursions were well organised. Our tour guide was excellent always at hand to answer questions of iron out little snags. If any negative the organised evening meals were of poor quality, but overall it was a five star holiday.

An excellent tour visiting many of Italy's spectacular sights. Travelling by train ensures that you don't miss anything. We had a brilliant Tour Manager who made sure that everything went to plan and the hotels were of a high standard and in very good locations.

The majority of the included meals were of a very poor quality so we found local restaurants to eat at instead. Admission to historic sites in Rome not included or cableway on mount Etna long queues if you wished to purchase admission yourselves Hotel in Sicily impersonal and in need of refurbishment, the included meals were also terrible Service from headquarters in York lacking in attention to detail but the tour manager was excellent and overcame many problems. However most hotels were well located for access to city centres. Rectify the above comments and easy 4 to 5 star rating
