Tauck Bridges' Italy family vacation offers so much to enjoy together in the sunny south of Italy, you'll never want it to end! On our exclusive after-hours visit to the Vatican Museums, view some of the world's most magnificent art treasures at your own pace... without the crowds! Explore the Colosseum, where you can say ciao to a Roman Centurion, and Rome's ancient underground catacombs, where you'll learn all about a "secret language"... and find out what could happen when you make a wish and throw a coin into the Trevi Fountain! Pompeii reveals its mysteries as you walk among its ancient stone streets and excavated buildings. Sweet Sorrento is the gateway to both the fabled Amalfi Coast and the enchanted Isle of Capri. Drive along a road that twists and turns like a roller coaster on the Amalfi Coast and ride a jet boat to Capri. Learn to make authentic pizza in Sorrento, savour gelato and try your hand at making paper. This Italy family vacation from Tauck Bridges is truly the sweet life, indeed!
