Rome, Tuscan wine country and the Amalfi Coast by rail and car

Illustration of La Dolce Vita Orient Express - Tastes of Tuscan Vineyards with Amalfi

Railbookers operates this 8-day, 7-night rail journey through Italy, spending three nights in Rome, one night in a Deluxe class cabin aboard the La Dolce Vita Orient Express, and three nights on the Amalfi Coast. The Rome days include guided tours of the Colosseum and Roman Forum and a night food tour of local specialties. The train carries travelers overnight into Montalcino, where a local winery tour and tasting mark the heart of Tuscany's wine country, before returning to Rome for an evening tour by night. From Rome, a direct train to Naples connects to a private transfer into Amalfi, where days cover the ruins of Pompeii, the slopes of Mount Vesuvius, and a cruise to Capri and Anacapri. With 5-star hotels throughout and excursion meals included, this suits travelers who want history, wine country and coastal scenery combined in one guided trip, without changing hotels every night.
