After some free time to browse and explore nearby, we then proceed to Florence, "Cradle of the Renaissance", and begin our City Tour beginning with Giottos' Campanile, the Cathedral and the famous Bronze Doors of the Baptistry, known as the "Gates of Paradise". We continue to the statue-studded Piazza della Signoria and visit the historical Church of Santa Croce, burial place of Michelangelo, Macchiavelli and other famous Italian figures. There is also an opportunity to visit the Leather School of Florence where you can learn more about this famous Florentine handcraft. The art of leather work has been taught here for centuries and has played an important role in maintaining the leather industry within Florence. After some free time and lunch at a local Florentine restaurant (€17), we proceed to Rome and check in to our 4-Star Hotel in the early evening.

After a ride along the beautiful coast, we arrive in Sorrento where you'll have an opportunity for lunch (not incl) and shopping (excellent inlaid wood & cameo products). We'll then board our boat for the journey to the Island of Capri. In the evening, we board the boat for the trip to Naples and rejoin our bus for the return trip to our hotel.

A few of the highlights; the Colosseum (if available, entry not incl), Palantine Hill, Roman Forum, Arch of Constantine and the Pantheon.

In the evening, we suggest a night of feasting, wine and music Roman style at a typical, popular Italian restaurant (€26). before departing for the overnight ride to Venice.
DAY 5: Early morning arrival in Venice and, after breakfast, (not incl), we leave our tour bus to board the water 'taxi' which takes us to St. Mark's Square via the Venetian Lagoon.
