Welcome to Italy! Your adventure is about to begin!
Visit Venice the right way and you can’t help but fall in love. The majesty of San Marco Square and the Rialto Bridge is drowned out by the crowds and tacky souvenir shops, but a more authentic and mysterious Venice is just outside of the tourist center. Put down your phone’s map and wander the labyrinthine alleyways, discovering the neighborhoods still lived in by locals with their artisan shops, low-key cicchetti bars, and cozy restaurants overlooking the canals.
A private English-speaking driver will greet you at the airport arrivals hall and transfer you to your hotel in a luxury vehicle. The driver will have a sign with your name on it.

The rest of your day is free to explore Venice.
With an uncanny sense of foresight, Rome was first called the Eternal City 2,000 years ago. Even by today’s standards, it’s still grand in a way that few other places can compare to. The buildings are dilapidated and the roads disheveled, but chaos has never looked so exquisite. The cobblestone streets may be nonsensical, but a wrong turn always leads to an unexpected delight: an intimate piazza, a baroque fountain, or a homey trattoria serving house-made cacio e pepe.

Visiting Capri is like stepping into a pop art painting, thanks to splashes of color from the iridescent blue in underwater caverns, the juicy red and green of a Caprese salad, or the almost neon yellow of an after-dinner limoncello. Once the daytrippers head back to the mainland in the early evening, this teeming island becomes surprisingly intimate, just in time for a glowing Aperol spritz to sip on while watching the sun set over the horizon.
Dress comfortably today with comfortable walking shoes as you have several stops to explore on your way to Capri.
