Highlights

Rome: Sightsee the local way, with a leisurely passeggiata through the backstreets, where a friend in Rome will explain how modern life takes place, around ancient treasures like the Trevi Fountain, the Pantheon and Piazza Navona.
Capri: Cruise by jetfoil to this famous isle through beautiful blue Mediterranean waters.
Alberobello: Led by a Local Expert, explore this UNESCO World Heritage Site showcasing the Trulli of Alberobello. Circular structures with conical roofs that are domed within, built from local limestone and stacked without using mortar.
Matera: With your Local Expert, visit the famous Sassi or cave dwellings, which were home to approximately 20,000 people until 1950 and are now a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Palermo: Visit the spectacular 12th Century Palatine Chapel. Its sombre exterior gives away few clues to the riches inside. Step into a world where the walls glitter with 12th century mosaics, the best of their kind in the world.

What travelers are saying

"Wonderful insight into Moroccan life, culture, traditions. Excellent tour guide, so knowledgable about local customs and traditions, best places to buy goods, very thoughtful and concerned our needs were met. I liked the approach of the tour company took to ensuring you see the real Morocco. The trip into the desert was magical, seeing sun suet and rise over the sand dunes. The fabulous treatment the Berbers gave us there, the fantastic 5 course meal in the evening the musicians playing for us and the fabulous breakfast in the morning . The luxury tents and lovely crisp white linen was fabulous. I would definately use Explore again."
