The Best of Italy and the Amalfi Coast

9-day independent rail trip through Venice, Florence, Rome, and Sorrento

Railbookers runs this 9-day, 8-night independent rail package through Italy, connecting Venice, Florence, Rome, and Sorrento primarily by train. In Venice, the trip includes a gondola ride through the canals; from a Florence base, it takes in the rolling hills of Tuscany; and in Rome, the days center on the city's ancient landmarks. Reaching the Amalfi Coast, the package adds a private driver and guide for a visit to the ruins of Pompeii, before time on the coast at Sorrento. As an independent rather than an escorted tour, travelers manage their own pace between these pre-arranged sightseeing elements while Railbookers organizes the train travel and stays. Priced from $2,649 per person, about $294 a day, it suits travelers who want a classic first look at Italy's best-known cities plus its southern coastline.
