This classic Italian 14-day vacation is our most popular, with departures throughout the year. Two-night stays in Rome, Florence, Lake Maggiore**, Venice, and Sorrento, plus one night in St. Francis' Assisi, offer plenty of time to visit the main sights with a Local Guide. Discover St. Peter's, the Sistine Chapel, the Colosseum, Michelangelo's David , St. Mark's and Doges' Palace with the Bridge of Sighs. Stops are also made in Pisa to see the Leaning Tower, and in dynamic Milan, in subtropical Lugano in Switzerland, in Verona, in Ravenna, and in Montecassino to visit the medieval Abbey. The two nights in Sorrento include visits to Pompeii at the foot of Mount Vesuvius, and to the Isle of Capri, with a visit to Villa San Michele in Anacapri.
