My family (myself, wife, two daughters 17&18) are planning a trip from the US to Italy in early June. We’ve tried to work with several travel agents but they haven’t been responsive so we are going to try to plan it ourselves.
We’ve done research through Reddit & TikTok and our tentative itinerary is shaping up as follows.
June 6 - Arrive in Naples. Take train to Rome.
June 7&8 - 2 nights in Rome with visits to the colosseum, Vatican, and other popular tourist sites.
June 9 - Depart Rome for somewhere? in the Amalfi Coast area. This would be home base for the remainder of the trip.
June 10 - Tour of Pompeii
June 11&12 - R&R on Amalfi Coast
June 13 - Depart Naples
The general idea is that we squeeze the “touristy stuff” into 2-3 hectic days then relax the last few days.
Is this realistic and/or reasonable? Anything I’m missing?
Where in the Amalfi Coast area would be ideal to use as a home base?
Hotel budget around $400-$500 USD per night.
Any help or advice is greatly appreciated. As I mentioned, we’d prefer to work with a knowledgeable travel agent but have not had any luck in that pursuit. Thanks!
