Fall in love with Italy and rediscover the rewards of family travel on this carefully crafted trip for both you and the kids. Over eight days, you’ll journey from the ruins of Rome to the shadow of mighty Mt Vesuvius. Deep dive into the history of the ancient ruins of Pompeii, then sit back and relax with a glass of Sangiovese (while the kids chase wild rabbits) on the farmlands of an agriturismo. Take a daytrip to the island of Capri and redesign family pizza night after learning the tricks of the trade in a cooking demonstration in Sorrento. With all the logistics and essential experiences taken care of, you can treat yourself to some family time on an Italian adventure that does the job, so you don’t have to. As there are potholes and cobblestones in many European cities, it's recommended that you leave any wheelie bags/cases at home and bring a backpack instead. A large backpack should be enough to carry all your belongings.Italy is steeped in old buildings and often there are no lifts or escalators, particularly in some train stations or hotels. You may have to carry your bags up and down stairs, but the trek will be worth it.Don’t let the heat keep you from exploring the world! Summer temperatures can be very high in Italy (over 40°C), which can make things uncomfortable. It’s important to use sun protection, wear layers to combat the heat, and drink plenty of water. Please carefully consider the time of the year you wish to travel and your suitability to that season.Make sure you pack some sturdy and comfortable shoes as there can be a lot of walking around the towns, ruins and walking trails of this area.
