Consider adding Herculaneum to your itinerary, these beautifully preserved excavations showcase the opulent lifestyle of Rome’s elite, and many fellow travellers declare it surpasses even Pompeii itself. Between archaeological adventures, we’ll savour limoncello amid fragrant lemon groves and embrace Sorrento’s delightful café scene.
