A Slice of Italy - Milan, Rome, Naples

Rise and shine! Today you’re swapping city buzz for full-blown postcard views. Start your morning the Italian way: a quick espresso, maybe a cheeky pastry, and then we’re off to Lake Como.

• We’re heading to Varenna, the kind of place that looks like it was designed just to make your camera roll happy. Think pastel houses, mountains hugging the shoreline, and water so calm it feels serine.
• Spend your day wandering the lakeside promenade, exploring cobbled lanes, dipping your toes in the water, or grabbing a spritz with a view that will absolutely ruin all future views for you.
• When we head back to Milan in the evening, your Trip Leader will drop dinner recs: whether you’re craving classic risotto, wood-fired pizza, or that dreamy pasta spot only locals know about.

  Lake Como will treat you right… trust us. 🇮🇹💙🌊

We’ll start our day with a slow wander through Parco Sempione, Milan’s green escape and the perfect spot to start your day.

• Grab a cappuccino to-go, stroll past locals walking tiny dogs with more attitude than you, and make your way toward the impressive Castello Sforzesco.
• Castello Sforzesco is a full-on medieval masterpiece. Wander the courtyards, admire the walls, and soak up the history.
• Then it’s time to grab your last Milanese snack and hop on the train to Rome, the next chapter of the adventure. The journey is smooth, scenic, and the perfect moment to scroll through your photos or take a very well-earned nap.

Once we arrive in Rome, we’ll head to the accommodation and check in. Your Trip Leader will get everyone settled and drop their top picks for dinner, gelato, rooftop views, and evening strolls.
Want to wander the neighbourhood? Chase sunset at a piazza? Dive straight into Roman pasta? It’s all waiting for you.

It’s a day that starts with ancient ruins… and ends in the Eternal City. Not bad for a (day).

Today we’re dialing up the history, and trust us, even if you think you’re not a history person, Colosseum will prove you wrong.

• Once everyone’s fuelled up,We start by diving straight into ancient history with a visit to the Colosseum. Stand where gladiators once battled, wander through the towering arches, and soak in thousands of years of drama.
• From there, we meander through Rome’s lively streets to the stunning Trevi Fountain. Time for the classic coin toss — one to return to Rome, two for love, three… well, we’ll let you decide. Either way, it’s impossible not to be impressed by this masterpiece up close.
• Your Trip Leader will keep the good vibes going (and the group together), but this is your chance to wander, explore, take photos, and whisper “wow” every five minutes. It’s wild, surreal, and absolutely bucket-list worthy.

Today is all about ticking off the big Roman bucket-list moments.

• We start our morning off at the Spanish Steps. Climb them, chill on them, pose on them, whatever your vibe is. The view from the top is a winner, and the surrounding area is full of boutiques, gelaterias, and picture-perfect streets.
• Then it’s time to hop on your train and head south to Naples. This is the land of pizza, chaos, charm, and sunsets that hit way harder than they need to. The journey itself? Scenic golden fields, rustic villages, and countryside views.
• Once you arrive and check into your accommodation,  we’ll head out together to explore Naples Centro Storico, the beating heart of the city. Think colourful alleyways, stacked balconies, loud market stalls, duck into tiny bakeries, and tiny pizzerias that smell like pure happiness.
• In the evening wander Naples’ buzzing streets, grab a slice of the original Neapolitan pizza, sip a spritz by the sea, or stick with your Trip Leader and follow their recs for the best bites, secret gelato spots, and cosy bars.

Rome did you right… but Naples is about to raise the bar. 🍕🌅🔥

It’s your first full day in Naples, and trust us, this city knows how to show you a good time. After grabbing a lazy morning espresso (because when in Italy…), the day is totally dedicated to explore at our own pace.

• After breakfast, we’ll head out together to Herculaneum, the ancient Roman city frozen in time by Mount Vesuvius. If Pompeii is the big headline act, Herculaneum is the cooler, more detailed “indie artist” version.
• After a chilled afternoon of exploring, shopping, or grabbing yet another slice (no judgement), we’ll regroup for something special — a sunset seaside stroll along the waterfront. Pastel skies, Mount Vesuvius in the background, and that warm Mediterranean breeze that makes you forget any responsibilities you’ve ever had.

As the sun sets on your final night in Naples, this is your moment to soak in the city one last time. You can follow your Trip Leader to one of their favourite local spots for a farewell dinner (think wood-fired pizza, cheap wine, and that cosy, lively Naples energy that makes you want to refuse your flight home).

Or maybe you’d rather grab a gelato and wander the waterfront as the sky goes pink over the Bay of Naples. Castel dell’Ovo at golden hour? Stunning. A slow stroll through the Spanish Quarter? Perfect vibes.

However you spend it, make it count — it’s your last night in Napoli, and this city always knows how to send you off in style.

Whatever you choose, make it count!

It’s the morning nobody really wants… check-out day. Grab breakfast, zip up your bag, and take one last look at the city that’s been your home for the past week.

Your Trip Leader will be around for goodbyes, last-minute tips, and any “how do I get to the station/airport?” questions.

After that? You’re free to continue your adventure or make your way home at your own pace.
One week, three cities, endless memories.
What. A. Trip. 🌍✨
