Itinerary

Day	Destination	Description
Day 1	Depart USA	DEPART FROM USA: Boarding our overnight flight, we're off on the adventure that most can only dream about.
Day 2	Rome	ARRIVE IN ROME - AFTERNOON FREE - DINNER OUT: We can already feel the energy of the Eternal City as our jet touches down in Rome. We are pleased to offer complimentary transfers from the Rome airport to your hotel at 8:45am, 11:30am and 12:30pm for 2008 departures and at 10:00am, 12:30pm and 2:30pm for 2009 departures. Your Perillo representative will be at the airport to greet you. This afternoon is free to wander, to shop, sip your first cappuccino, whetting our appetites for what's to come. This evening we enjoy a welcome drink followed by dinner out at a typical Roman restaurant with great local wines.
Day 3	Florence	ROME - FLORENCE - DINNER OUT: This morning, we're off to Florence via the Highway of the Sun. As we traverse the hilly countryside to this capital of Tuscany, we're reminded of the geniuses who traveled this very path long before us - Dante. DaVinci. Michelangelo. Galileo. Botticelli. It reads like a 'Who's Who' of brilliance. As we arrive, we can add our own names to the list, for who knows what ideas will be born of our days here. After getting settled into our hotel, we meet for dinner at a lovely local restaurant and toast our good fortunes with Tuscan wine.
Day 4	Venice	2008 Departures FLORENCE - EXCURSION TO VENICE WITH LUNCH - FLORENCE This morning, we board our first-class train to Venice. We'll arrive in time for a great Venetian style lunch with wines of the Veneto region. After lunch, we'll meet our local expert for a walking tour, seeing St. Mark's Square and the great Byzantine Basilica. 2009 Departures FLORENCE - EXCURSION TO VENICE WITH LUNCH - FLORENCE This morning, we're off for a day trip to Venice! New York has it's Fifth Avenue, Paris its Champs Elysees, but Venice tops them all with its Grand Canal - the great water road filled with gondolas, motorboats and peppermint stick moorings. Your guide will show you all the sights - St. Mark's Square, the Basilica and the Bridge of Sighs. We'll enjoy a special lunch in Venice renowned for its seafood specialties. This evening we return to Florence for dinner on your own.
Day 5	Florence	FLORENCE SIGHTSEEING - AFTERNOON AT LEISURE - DINNER IN HOTEL: Today we'll enjoy a breathtaking panorama of Florence atop Piazzale Michelangelo, followed by a tour of the Academy of Fine Arts where Michelangelo's proud David stands. We'll see the majestic Duomo built in 1296, Giotto's Bell Tower and the Baptistery with its renowned Gates of Paradise doors. We follow the medieval streets to the most striking square in Florence, Piazza della Signoria and finally to Santa Croce Church for an outside view of Michelangelo's final resting place. There's plenty of time to shop this afternoon, followed by dinner at our hotel.
Day 6	Naples	FLORENCE - NAPLES - DINNER IN HOTEL: Our relaxing drive to Naples takes us through the rolling hills, scenic vineyards and dreamy olive groves of Tuscany, Umbria, Lazio and Campania. Each view is more picturesque than the last. Along the way, we'll pass the medieval villages of Orvieto and Orte and travel through the beautiful Tiber River Valley. At last, we see the sapphire seas of the Gulf of Napoli and the imposing presence of Vesuvius. We'll enjoy a panoramic tour of Naples before settling into our hotel followed by dinner.
Day 7	Naples	NAPLES - CAPRI - DINNER OUT: Naples at our stern, Capri at our bow, this morning we cross the Bay of Naples to the world's most enchanting island. The vacation spot of Roman emperors and today's movie stars, I promise you'll be equally captivated by the charms of Capri. Later this afternoon, we sail back to Naples for a great dinner out with our tour guide and new found friends.
Day 8	Pompeii	NAPLES - POMPEII - ROME: This morning we're off to Pompeii. A city perfectly preserved as it was on that fateful day 2,000 years ago, when ash and lava literally stopped it in its tracks. You'll see the tragic fossils of people attempting to escape along with their children and dogs. For 2008 departures, You'll also see the 'secret room'. But I'll say no more about that - you'll just have to take the tour! Back to the present day, along the Highway of the Sun, we're soon in Rome. Eight days in Italy? How's your Italian? Chi viaggia con Perillo, viaggia tranquillo! 2008 departures Tonight get ready for our Gala Party at the Casina di Macchia Madama - an extravagant dinner with flowing wines and dancing to our own orchestra. A memorable night with your new friends. Salute! (Not included on departures between Jan 1 - Apr 13 2008 and Nov 1 - Dec 28 2008, the Gala will be replaced by dinner out at a local restaurant) 2009 Departures Tonight a relaxing dinner at our hotel.
Day 9	Rome	ROME - FULL DAY SIGHTSEEING: Today we'll visit the birthplace of two great pillars of Western civilization -- the Roman Empire and Christianity. With our expert local guide we'll tour the Vatican Museums, a treasure trove of ancient Greek sculptures, medieval tapestries and Renaissance paintings. Our visit culminates in the Sistine Chapel, the room where the Pope is elected. We enter in total silence, not wanting to disturb Michelangelo's famed frescoes depicting the 'End of Times'. You'll be fascinated by which of Michelangelo's contemporaries he assigned to heaven, and which to hell! 2008 Departures: Next we visit St. Peter's Basilica, by far the largest church in Christendom. We'll see Michelangelo's Pieta, sculpted when he was just 24, as well as Bernini's seven-story bronze canopy located above the main altar. After a break for lunch, we board our coach for a panoramic tour of Imperial Rome including Castel St. Angelo, the Roman Forum, Largo Argentina (where Caesar was stabbed by Brutus), the Jewish Ghetto and the Circus Maximus. Then we'll enter the Colosseum, reliving the brutal entertainment of the gladiators and the lions, refereed by the Emperor himself. 2008 Departure Tonight we'll enjoy dinner at our hotel. 2009 Departures Tonight get ready for our Gala Party at the Casina di Macchia Madama - an extravagant dinner with flowing wines and dancing to our own orchestra. A memorable night with your new friends. Salute! (Not included on departures between Oct 30 2008 and Apr 10 2009, the Gala will be replaced by dinner out at a local restaurant).
Day 10	Return USA	FLIGHT HOME: This morning we board our flight home, but we realize we're taking a little piece of Italy back home with us. Thanks for traveling with the Perillo family, and please return soon!
