Highlights & inclusions
The following are included in your tour package:
Learn how to toss pizza like a master


Roman pizza is legendary for its light, crispy deliciousness and is a must-try
for anyone visiting the Italian capital. With a leavening process that requires
at least 48 hours of rest and reliance on simple, traditional ingredients –
including rich tomato sauce, fresh green basil and smatterings of buffalo
mozzarella cheese – pizza-making in Italy is more art than science. Dust your
hands and learn how to make pizza the traditional way with an included
masterclass before feasting gloriously on your creation. There’s no better way
to taste an authentic slice of Rome.

Cruise through sunshine and siren waters on an Amalfi Coast cruise


Sailing between Positano and Amalfi, you’ll glimpse colourful terraces, rolling
cliffsides and places seemingly spun out of myth and legend. Make a splash at
Bagni Regina Giovanna, a natural swimming hole once beloved by ancient Roman
aristocrats, and visit Li Galli, said to be home to the sirens made famous by
Homer’s ‘Odyssey.’ Finish this extraordinary day in Positano – don’t miss a
chance to walk the city’s wonderful golden sands.
