Rome
Rome is the capital of modern Italy and the historical home of one of the great civilizations in history, the Roman Empire. The historical city was founded in 753 BC and has grown to a size of over 3 million inhabitants today. The city is home to major monuments like the Colosseum, Trevi Fountain and many more. The city was built on the seven ancient hills along the Tiber River. Today it is a collection of neighborhoods with vibrant shops, restaurants and museums just waiting to be explored.
Trevi Fountain
Pantheon
Piazza Navona
Colosseum
The Colosseum is one of the most recognizable structures of the Roman Empire. The structure was built in the first century AD as a place of celebration for Gladiator games and public spectacles. Today the structure has been preserved and is an open air museum that highlights the architectural expertise of the ancient Romans. Visitors can see the details of the recently cleaned facade made of Travertine marble and view the internal structure of this “Wonder of the World.”
Montecassino
Montecassino is a rocky hill situated southeast of Rome, Italy, housing St. Benedict of Nursia’s first monastery in 529. The hilltop sanctuary was the site of the Battle of Montecassino in 1944, where the building was destroyed by Allied bombing and then rebuilt after the war. The site was one of the last remaining territorial abbeys within the Catholic Church, until 2014. Modern excavations have found wonderful treasures in Montecassino, including manuscripts codices that are now archived for safekeeping. (Codices is the plural of codex, and a codex is an ancient manuscript text in book form.) The site is also a burial ground for several historic religious figures.
Amalfi Coast
The rocky Sorrento Peninsula stretches into the Tyrrhenian Sea separating the Bay of Naples to the north from the Gulf of Salerno to the south. On the south of the peninsula is the famed Amalfi Coast. The Amalfi Coast features the 32-mile-long coastal drive that hugs the cliff as it passes through the picturesque fishing villages of Positano, Amalfi and Minori, among others. The coast is famed for its breathtaking views, local cuisine and drinks like limoncello.
Sorrento
The north side of the Sorrento peninsula is the Sorrento Coast, named after the largest city and tourist center, Sorrento. The Sorrento Coast is home to panoramic views of shear cliffs, small rocky beaches and terraced gardens of olive and lemon trees. The town of Sorrento is a tourist’s delight, complete with excellent shopping, quaint cafes and elegant restaurants.

Pompeii
The Roman city of Pompeii is located in the southern region of Campania, near Naples. The city was covered by volcanic material in 79 AD and forgotten for centuries. When the city was excavated, archeologists found the city to be intact as it had been prior to the eruption. Today visitors walk on the original streets, complete with chariot ruts. The city was made up of a variety of different buildings including theaters, homes, shops, thermal baths and temples — all of which can be visited today. In addition, every-day objects and precious artifacts have been preserved along with original mosaic and fresco decorations.
Choice on Tour
Join a local guide for an in-depth tour of Pompeii’s best-known monuments: the excavated ruins of the Forum, the thermal baths and the Sanctuary of Apollo -OR- venture further to discover the hidden corners of this vast archeological site, such as the vibrant frescoes of the Suburban Baths and the once-bustling thermopoli (taverns).
