8 Day Tour from Rome to Rome
Enjoy a small group culinary journey to Rome, Sorrento, and Capri on this grand Southern Italy vacation. Spend three nights in Rome and two nights each in Capri and in the Sorrento area.

On your way from Rome to Sorrento, visit a family-run wine cellar and indulge in an included lunch with wine tasting. In the laid-back town of Sorrento, take part in a gelato making experience and tasting in a local gelateria and see how real Italian ice cream is made. Enjoy an excursion to scenic Positano, on the Amalfi coast, and feast on spectacular views of the gulf. Following the natural course of the coastline, the winding road to Positano features dramatic cliffs plunging into the sea, inlets, and bays interspersed with picturesque towns-all with the deep-blue Mediterranean waters as the background. A short ferry ride separates Sorrento from the legendary island of Capri, where you will spend two nights. In the famous Capri "piazzetta" (little square), you may bump into some celebrities! Spend time discovering the island or gazing at the mesmerizing water and enjoying the Mediterranean climate. You may even be able to steal a chef's secret 'torta caprese' recipe to impress your friends back home. Leaving Capri by ferry, on the quest for the most authentic pizza and legendary espresso coffee, visit Naples and enjoy a pizza lunch before returning to Rome. This affordable Cosmos Gourmet Italy tour offers value-minded travel lovers a unique and unforgettable vacation along with the opportunity to learn about Mediterranean cuisine.
