10 Days in Italy - 4 Family-Friendly Itineraries

With thousands of years of cultural and culinary history, Italy offers plenty to take in. In 10 days, you can choose to go deep on a particular region or hop between the high points. If you prefer the latter, check out our spin through Venice, Florence, and Rome ideal for school-age children, or take babies and toddlers to Rome and Sorrento with the help of private tours. If you'd rather specialize, try a road trip through Tuscany and Lakes Como and Garda or an adventure trip that will see you sailing over Tuscany and Veneto via bike, hot air balloon, and more.

You'll walk the cobblestones of bustling Naples and ancient Pompeii and hike the hills of Mount Vesuvius before you head to sunny Sorrento for sea kayaking along the cliffs and bays of a protected marine reserve. Finish off on the Amalfi Coast with a hike through a lush valley and a winding route through town.

We had a great trip. It was good to have the driver meet us at the airport so that we would know where to go. All of the transportation connections were excellent. The representative took us from the hotel to the train station so that we were at the right train and right car and were to put the suitcases. for the next train we knew what to do and did not need help. The boat trip from the airport was a great experience. We enjoyed walking around Venice and the tour guides were excellent. The tours were excellent as we learned more being a group of three than a group of 20. We could ask questions at leisure. Sorrento was nice even though it rained each day for three hours as we got rain slickers for 2 dollars and an umbrella and walked about like everybody else did. The trip to Pompey and the trip to the winery were fun. There was so much history to learn. The trip to Rome was great by train, comfortable, had wifi and served snacks. The food was great in all places. It was tasty and flavorful to the last bite. We had a tour of the Vatican and the Colosseum that great. All of the hotel accommodations were what we expected. We had a great trip and look forward to using Andrea again as the process was seamless and without any stress for me to figure out what we should see, when and how. This was a great trip that we enjoyed very much.

Once-in-a-lifetime trip! Manuela did an amazing job scheduling the right activities for us but most importantly, she took my request for incredible hotels in our price range seriously. I could not have asked for better hotels than Masseria Petranima and Tenuta Monacelli. They were so different but both beautiful, peaceful, relaxing with amazing staff.

LE CUCCHIARE - Alessandra was so welcoming and spent a good part of her day with us and it was so personal. We also loved seeing her small town with her. The boat tour day was also a highlight! Our boat captain was friendly and did a great job navigating some choppy waves.

We had an amazing time and reccommend this itinerary to anyone looking for a trip that is equal parts adventure and relaxation!

Hotel Review
Masseria Petranima
Ostuni

Incredibly peaceful. The trulli are so unique and fun to stay in. The staff here are incredibly kind and helpful. It's off the beaten path so be prepared for some bumpy driving - but it's really worth it!
