Amazing Details

CINQUE TERRE

Here’s your first Italian lesson: Cinque means five and Terre means land. Enjoy some chill time in the quaint fishing villages of the “Cinque Terre”. Part of the “Italian Riviera”, these five small, classic Italian towns are built into the cliffs and look much like they did when they were first settled in the 17th century. Kayak from village to village, stopping on occasion for the equally amazing scenic hikes & irresistible pesto (this is where it was born!). Soak up the Italian sun during a relaxing day at the beach. Commemorate this trip highlight with a night of group activities and bonding on the beach overlooking the Mediterranean.

FLORENCE

Boticelli. Da Vinci. Michelangelo. Since Florence is the home of Renaissance, spend some time admiring the David at the Accademia and checking out the masterpieces at the Uffizi. Search the leather markets for the perfect gifts, and then put on your apron as you participate in an authentic Italian cooking class! Finish off your time in Florence with a night out at the international Space Electronic disco.

VENICE

The city known for its canals!  You can explore this "maze" of over 100 islands connected by 150 canals and 400 bridges first by foot, then by gondola.  Venice is known for its great art, cuisine, romance, and fashion. Wander through Doges Palace, cross the Bridge of Sighs, watch a demonstration of the 700 year old craft of Murano glass blowing, feed the pigeons in Piazza San Marco and enjoy the Italian feasts of pizza, pasta, and parmigiana.

ROME

Imagine gladiators in the Colosseum and people watch at the Spanish Steps. Dine in the celebrated Piazza Navona, discover the ancient treasures of the Pantheon and Forum, and visit Vatican City and enormous St. Peter's Square. Try to picture Michelangelo painting the famous ceiling of the Sistine Chapel…and don’t forget to toss three coins in the Trevi Fountain – to guarantee your return to the Eternal City!

SORRENTO & THE ISLE OF CAPRI

Soak up street carnival atmosphere in this cliff-side town overlooking Bay of Naples. Cruise to the Isle of Capri stopping to hop off and swim in majestic green waters and grottos. Ride the funicular to the town of Capri and take in the café scene near Piazza Umberto.
