Your Italian Honeymoon
The Italian la dolce vita is difficult to describe. It is something that truly needs to be experienced first-hand. It is found in the ambient sounds of Rome's cobblestone streets, in the rows of vines of Tuscany's tranquil vineyards, reflecting in the immaculate and azure Mediterranean waters, and in the daily interactions with Italy's jovial citizens. The unique authenticity of a trip in Italy will leave you with memories lasting a lifetime.

In many ways, visiting Florence today feels like a trip directly into the Renaissance. The energy that inspired the likes of da Vinci and Michelangelo is still palpable, from the grandiose pink and green facade of the Duomo to an unembellished plate of Florentine steak with potatoes. It’s easy to get engrossed by the art and shopping in the historic center, but walk across the Ponte Vecchio to find Florence’s most authentic osterias and enotecas on the left bank of the river.

No visit to Italy would be complete without viewing its vast collection. This private tour gives expert insight into the collections of either of its two main galleries. The Accademia is home to various sculptures, the most famous being Michelangelo’s David. Stroll along the dazzling corridors of the Uffizi and admire some of the most important artistic treasures such as the Venere and the Primavera of Botticelli, the Annunciazione of Leonardo Da Vinci and a collection of paintings by Caravaggio. While both the museums are unmissable experiences in Florence, you can also choose to visit only one of them based on your interests.

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.

Italy is steeped in ancient history and today you will pass by one of the most well-preserved residues of it.
Pompeii was a thriving citadelle in the reigning years of the Roman empire. A center for commerce, trade, art, and science. In a catastrophic eruption of Mt. Vesuvius in 79 A.D., it was buried under ash and pumice, thus preserving it to an impressive extend.
On your 1h30 drive down to the Amalfi coast, stop for 1 hour to stretch your legs and learn about this site from your private local guide.

After the tour, your driver will drop you off at your hotel. You will have the afternoon free to explore the stunning Sorrento village.
While most of Italy is about sightseeing, there’s nothing to visit per se on the Amalfi Coast. Instead of lavish churches and ancient monuments, the rugged coastline is the sight, best enjoyed from a hilltop al fresco restaurant, the bow of a yacht, or inside your car while navigating one of the world’s most scenic drives. Amalfi is a luxurious destination with a humble past, where glitzy villas still intermingle with sleepy fishing villages and bucolic lemon orchards.
Legend has it that gods came down from heaven to the Path in order to reach the sea. In fact, the path was given its title by an Italian historian and politician in the mid-1800s, inspired by the gorgeous views of shimmering waters and the island of Capri that hikers can enjoy. This spectacular scenery is one not to be missed if you are spending time on the Amalfi Coast, it is a one-way 3.7-mile guided hike, and it is easy to see why the Gods may have fallen in love with it.

At the end of your class, take a seat and enjoy the food you have prepared, topping it all off with a Limoncello tasting. Cheers!
