11-day Rome, Venice & Amalfi Coast

The sun rises over Rome, and with it awaken your dreams of exploring the Eternal City.

Upon arrival, you will be transferred to your hotel for a comfortable check-in. After that, the day is yours to enjoy. In the morning, you’ll have access to a daily ticket for the Hop-on Hop-off tourist bus, a complimentary gift from Greca Viajes — a free and panoramic way to immerse yourself in the soul of Rome. Hop on, choose your seat on the open-top deck, and let yourself be carried away by the voices of the past that still whisper among ruins and palaces.

Along the route, you can hop on and off at any of the eight stops to explore legendary landmarks such as the Colosseum, the Trevi Fountain, or Piazza Navona, and admire the city from a perspective only a convertible bus can offer. The audio guide in your language will accompany you with stories that turn every stone into an unforgettable tale.

In the evening, enjoy Rome at your own pace. Perhaps a dinner under the warm lights of Trastevere, or a quiet walk through the illuminated Forum.

Greca Tip: Start your tour early and visit the most popular sites in the morning. At that time, Rome feels more like yours and less like the crowd’s.

After enjoying a delicious breakfast at the hotel, we will begin our journey to the heart of Tuscany. At 7:15 a.m., we will depart by coach towards Assisi, a medieval gem nestled among rolling hills.

Upon arrival, you will have free time to explore this spiritual walled city, famous for being the birthplace of Saint Francis. We recommend visiting the Basilica of Saint Francis, a sanctuary adorned with invaluable frescoes by Giotto and Cimabue, beautifully depicting the life of the saint. Before continuing our journey, we will enjoy an included lunch in Assisi.

After lunch, we will continue along the highway that crosses Italy from north to south. Our next stop will be Siena, a city that seems frozen in time, protected by impressive walls. We will stroll through its charming streets until reaching Piazza del Campo, the heart of Sienese life and the stage of the famous “Palio delle Contrade.”

Finally, we will continue to Florence, the cradle of the Renaissance. We will arrive in the afternoon to check in at the hotel, enjoy dinner on our own, and rest.

Greca Tip: In Siena, don’t miss trying “panforte,” a traditional sweet made with spices and dried fruits that dates back to the Middle Ages.

Morning rises over Florence like a canvas bathed in the golden light of the Renaissance. After a delightful breakfast, you’ll step into a city where Italian genius reveals itself in every stone.

The historic center welcomes you with a symphony of white, green, and pink marble. The majestic Duomo of Santa Maria del Fiore, crowned by Brunelleschi’s awe-inspiring dome, stands as a symbol of Florence’s wealth and power in the 13th and 14th centuries. Beside it, the elegant Campanile designed by Giotto and the Baptistery, famous for its bronze doors—especially the so-called Gates of Paradise, as named by Michelangelo—complete this breathtaking ensemble.

In Piazza della Signoria, the city’s political heart still beats beneath the austere facade of the Palazzo Vecchio, while the Church of Santa Croce opens onto one of Florence’s oldest and most atmospheric squares. Here, you’ll enjoy a delicious Tuscan lunch in a traditional restaurant.

The afternoon is free. If you wish, you may join an optional excursion to Pisa, where the iconic Leaning Tower and the Field of Miracles whisper stories of a glorious maritime republic.

Greca Tip: Inside Santa Croce, look for the tombs of Michelangelo, Galileo, and Machiavelli. To walk among them is to walk in the company of giants.

After a delightful breakfast in Florence, the morning invites you to explore Bologna, a city where medieval charm meets the soul of Italian cuisine.

Upon arrival, you’ll be welcomed by its iconic porticoes—stretching over 40 kilometers—offering shade and beauty as you wander. Enjoy free time to stroll from Piazza Malpighi to the heart of the city at Piazza del Nettuno and Piazza Maggiore, where history lives in every stone. Here stands the majestic Basilica of San Petronio, the largest Gothic brick church in the world, its unfinished façade whispering stories of ambition and faith.

But Bologna isn’t just seen—it’s tasted. As you walk its medieval alleys, you'll discover a world of flavor in its bustling street food scene. With a specially selected light lunch, you’ll savor the authentic dishes that define Bologna’s culinary fame, in a city often hailed as Italy’s gastronomic capital.

In the afternoon, your journey continues to Venice (Mestre), where a warm welcome awaits you at your hotel for your overnight stay and a well-earned rest.

Greca Tip: While exploring Bologna, don’t forget to look up—its ancient towers still rise above the rooftops, silent sentinels of a noble and flavorful past.

The day begins with the promise of a deep dive into the magic and history of Venice. After a comforting breakfast, you will be taken to the beating heart of the city: St. Mark’s Square, where time seems to pause amid grandeur and charm.

During this morning walking tour, the imposing Doge’s Palace will unfold before you, a symbol of Venetian glory and the seat of the dukes, government, and judiciary. You will almost hear whispers of intrigue and decisions as we cross together the famous Bridge of Sighs, the narrow passage linking the palace to the prisons, where Casanova was famously imprisoned—caught not only behind bars but between history and legend.

To complete this experience, your guide will lead you to an authentic spot where you will enjoy a classic Venetian aperitif: cicchetti, small culinary gems similar to tapas, paired with a refreshing spritz or delicate prosecco—a light lunch that will delight your senses.

The afternoon is yours to explore Venice at your own pace, soaking in its unique atmosphere. Later, return to your hotel to rest, carrying the echoes of an unforgettable day in your heart.

Tip Greca: To truly experience Venice, try wandering its quieter alleys at dusk; there you will find its most authentic and peaceful soul.

After enjoying a delicious breakfast in Venice, we bid farewell to its canals and head toward the gentle landscapes of Tuscany, a region that captivates with its elegance, artistic heritage, and renowned wines.

We will travel to the enchanting Val di Chiana, where we’ll stop in the picturesque town of Montepulciano, a medieval gem perched atop a hill, famous for its Vino Nobile, one of Italy’s most prestigious wines. You’ll have time to stroll through its cobbled streets, admire panoramic views, and, if you wish, visit one of its traditional wineries.

At midday, we’ll enjoy an exquisite lunch in a typical Tuscan restaurant, where the region’s flavors will be enhanced by a carefully selected glass of local wine, offering you an authentic gastronomic experience. After lunch, we’ll have a bit of free time to further enjoy this charming corner of Tuscany.

In the afternoon, we’ll head to Rome, where we’ll stay for the final stage of our journey through Italy.

Greca Tip: If you're looking for a special souvenir, Montepulciano has small artisan shops offering handmade leather and ceramic goods — perfect for taking a piece of Tuscany home with you.

There are places that are not just visited—they are felt. This morning, as you cross the threshold of the Vatican, you're not merely entering a museum; you’re stepping into the very heart of art and faith that have shaped the soul of Europe for centuries.

After a refreshing hotel breakfast, your journey begins with a touch of privilege. Thanks to our exclusive skip-the-line access, you’ll bypass the crowds and, guided by a knowledgeable Greca expert, immerse yourself in the legendary Vatican Museums. Time whispers from every corner: Flemish tapestries seem to ripple with light, and Raphael’s frescoes breathe the very spirit of the Renaissance. In the Gallery of Geographical Maps, marvel at how 16th-century cartographers envisioned the world… long before we truly discovered it.

By midday, you will stand beneath the vaulted sky of the Sistine Chapel. Michelangelo’s Last Judgment is not just a painting—it’s a soul-stirring encounter. Later, in the vastness of St. Peter’s Square, admire the grand basilica from the outside, sentinel of centuries of devotion.

The afternoon is yours to explore at your own pace. Perhaps an espresso by the Tiber will offer the perfect close to an unforgettable day.

Greca Tip: Be sure to wear comfortable shoes and cover your shoulders—this is a journey through eternity.

Early in the morning and after a tasty breakfast, you will travel on a luxury bus to southern Italy. Before arriving in Naples you will pass through the regions of Lazio and Campania.

Upon your arrival you will go on a panoramic tour of what was the Capital of the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies, starting from  Vomerese Hill, one of the upscale neighborhoods of Naples, overlooking greater Naples, Mount Vesuvius, the Bay of Naples, the Tyrrhenian Sea and the island of Capri, full of bars, restaurants and pizzerias.

T}here you will have free time to enjoy the expansive views and take some great photos. You will climb down to the port of Mergellina, passing along the promenade, where you will admire the Castel dell' Ovo, an imposing castle that rises out of the sea on a small island connected to the mainland by a footbridge until you reach Santa Lucía, the old fishing district.

Your next stop will be Pompeii, where you will taste authentic and delicious "Neapolitan pizza". After lunch, you will enter the archaeological zone, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Buried under a layer of ash and lava by an unforeseen eruption of Vesuvius in AD 79, Pompeii came back to light after almost 1,700 years and the everyday life of an ordinary day in the first imperial era, as if by magic, was left captured in the gestures, in the secrets and the panic of his last moments.

Your guide will explain how people lived at that time until the tragic moment of the fateful eruption of Vesuvius. You will visit the houses that still preserve the frescoes and mosaics of the time.

After the visit, you will travel by bus along the wonderful Sorrentine Coast until you reach the city of Sorrento, a picturesque town, built on a cliff, with the charm of a fishing village and the comforts of a tourist destination. Here you will have dinner (dress code: jacket for men) and rest at your hotel.

Greca Tip: In Sorrento, you can buy typical products such as limoncello, walnuts, or olive oil.

Some islands need no introduction; a single breath of their breeze is enough to understand why they’ve enchanted emperors, artists, and dreamers alike. This morning, after a delightful hotel breakfast, you’ll leave Sorrento behind and head to the port, where your journey to the seductive jewel of the Gulf of Naples begins.

In the morning, you’ll sail across shimmering waters until you arrive at Marina Grande, Capri’s welcoming harbor. If weather permits, a small boat will take you into the legendary Blue Grotto, a sea cave where sunlight enters in such a way that the water glows with an almost otherworldly blue—Capri’s own hidden magic.

The afternoon is yours to wander freely. Explore narrow streets lined with elegant boutiques, sip an espresso on a terrace overlooking the sea, or simply let the island’s charm wash over you. Don’t forget to look up—legend says Emperor Tiberius built his villa high atop the cliffs to feel closer to the gods.

As of November 2026, this day will remain free to enjoy Sorrento at your own pace.

Greca Tip: Bring a hat, sunscreen, and comfortable shoes. On Capri, every corner invites you to walk… and to dream.

After a nutritious breakfast, you will have the morning free in Sorrento to continue exploring this city.

You will stroll through the streets of the historic center, buy handicrafts, sit down for a coffee or a gelato, enjoy the wonderful panoramic views from the cliff, or even have a swim in the sea. In the afternoon and at the agreed time, you will leave for Rome.

Greca Tip: Sorrento can be a good place to buy some souvenir gifts, especially the well-known inlaid wooden boxes and Sorrento cameos.

After breakfast and at the time indicated, you will be transferred to Rome Airport to board your departure flight.

After spending a few fantastic days with Greca, we hope to see you again for more amazing moments in Rome.

And if you remembered to throw a coin with your back turned to the Trevi Fountain, according to tradition, then you will surely come back!

Have a nice trip! Or, as Italians say, "Buon viaggio!"

Greca Tip: Add nights in step 1 of 3 to extend your stay in this city!
