You will tour the gallery, visiting all the main spots you've heard about such as the Gallery of Maps, the Gallery of Tapestries, and the Borgia Apartments. The guide will provide you with information about the Raphael Rooms and their exceptional frescoes, including The School of Athens. They will then lead you to the Sistine Chapel, where the ceiling is considered one of the cornerstones works of High Renaissance art. The tour would not be complete without a visit to St. Peter's Basilica, the largest church in the world, which houses several pieces of fine art such as the canopy designed by Gian Lorenzo Bernini and the Pietà by Michelangelo. To end the tour, you will be able to admire the majestic St. Peter's Square, an open space redesigned by Gian Lorenzo Bernini, considered an architectural masterpiece of the Baroque age. The afternoon is free.

• In the afternoon, we suggest a walking tour starting with a visit to the parks of Villa Borghese and up to the Pincio belvedere, offering a fantastic view of Rome. After a photo stop, continue towards Piazza del Popolo and Via Margutta (famous for being featured in the film 'Roman Holiday' starring Gregory Peck and Audrey Hepburn), then proceed to Piazza di Spagna until you reach the Trevi Fountain. The Galleria Colonna is worth a visit, as well as the inner courtyard of the Galleria Sciarra, the Church of Sant'Ignazio, the Elephant Obelisk in Piazza della Minerva, and the Pantheon. Next to the Pantheon, the Giolitti family has been making homemade ice cream for three generations, which I highly recommend. Then head to Piazza Navona, famous for Bernini's fountain, and Ponte Sant'Angelo, adorned with 10 statues of angels pointing the way to Castel Sant'Angelo. Finally, walk down Via della Conciliazione to the majestic and immense Piazza San Pietro. Overnight at the hotel.

In the town center is the Parish Church of Santa Maria Assunta that shows up with its large dome, tiled in majolica and sheltering some precious works like polychrome marble altars.
  It’s nice to get lost in Positano… To fully embrace the beauty of the town it’s probably better to walk without a precise destination; You will be able to enjoy the streets, the little shops, the restaurants, the monuments, the churches, the beaches.
  Amalfi, a picturesque interlacing of alleys and stairways overlooks the sea with all its extraordinary colors reflecting the enchanting landscape of Amalfi, the town whose name blesses the entire coast. Dominated by the majestic Cathedral dedicated to Sant'Andrea (St. Andrew), Amalfi proffers innumerable testimonies of its glorious past as a Maritime Republic.
  Ravello, another pearl of the coast, an elegant and refined village, dipped in green and characterized by luxurious villas. Ravello is famous all around the world for its Festival, in the garden of Villa Rufolo, where an evocative setting and the emotion of listening to great music create an experience of extraordinary intensity.
