Perillo Tours Italy 2023

Rome Venice Florence CAPRI Sorrento Pompeii DAY TRIP / VISIT OVERNIGHT STAY DAY 6 • SORRENTO » CAPRI » SORRENTO » DINNER OUT TUESDAY: This morning, we board our speedy jetfoil to the world’s most enchanting island—Capri. We’ll enjoy a private boat tour around the island (weather permitting). We’ll cruise by the magnificent Faraglioni, Capri’s iconic rock formations which tower above the Mediterranean Sea. Next, we visit one of the lesser-known but equally beautiful sea caves, the Grotta Bianca. Then we’ll have free time to explore the island on our own, or take advantage of a special optional excursion with our tour leader. Later this afternoon, we sail back and have some time to relax before heading out to a great Neapolitan restaurant for dinner. DAY 7 • SORRENTO » FLORENCE » LUNCH & CITY TOUR » DINNER IN HOTEL WEDNESDAY: This morning, after a delicious breakfast, we board a train to Florence! We’ll arrive in time for a lunch at our hotel followed by a walking tour of the historical center of this most famous of all Renaissance cities! We’ll visit the majestic Duomo Complex built in 1296, Giotto’s Bell Tower and the Baptistery with its renowned Gates of Paradise doors. We follow the medieval streets to the most striking square in Florence, Piazza della Signoria. “Breathtaking” is the only word to describe one’s first view of Michelangelo’s David. Yes, it’s quite large and detailed. But the real magic is in how Michelangelo transformed a lifeless rock into a man—full of pride, wary of his adversary, yet quietly confident. All with just a hammer and a chisel! Tonight, we enjoy a Florentine dinner in our hotel with fine wines. *In the event of a train strike or such problems, we will travel to Florence by bus. DAY 8 FLORENCE » EXCURSION TO VENICE » SPECIAL VENETIAN LUNCH » FLORENCE THURSDAY: The Grand Canal is just a short train ride away from Florence. Should we go? … SI! ANDIAMO A VENEZIA! There is no normal life in Venice. Here, everything and everyone floats luxuriously with a sense of freedom, never tormented by traffic or even the sound of a horn. Your guide will show you all the sights—St. Mark’s Square, the Basilica, and the Bridge of Sighs. Just around the corner from St. Mark’s Square, we’ll enjoy a special Venetian lunch in a town renowned for its seafood specialties. This evening we return to Florence for dinner on your own. Make sure to try Pappa al Pomodoro, a rustic Tuscan soup made with tomatoes, garlic, onions and of course, Tuscan bread! DAY 9 FLORENCE » SAN GIMIGNANO » OIL & WINE TASTING AND LUNCH » FLORENCE FRIDAY: Our last day together will be at our favorite winery! You’ll visit the Tenuta Torciano winery in Tuscany and meet our dear friend, Pierluigi Giachi, the world’s most enchanting sommelier. You’ll learn about the grape, the nose, food pairings and most importantly—which glass to use with each wine! You’ll also get to experience an olive oil and truffle oil tasting…and of course have some fresh bread with it! This will all be followed by a fabulous lunch and wine tasting. Salute! Enjoy the remainder of the day and evening on your own, perhaps shopping for last minute souvenirs! DAY 10 FLIGHT HOME » FLORENCE » USA SATURDAY: This morning board your flight home, arriving in the USA the same day. Unless, of course, you have chosen to extend your stay! A warm Grazie for traveling with the Perillo family and please return soon.
