Experience Overview
Fall in love with Italy and rediscover the rewards of family travel on this carefully crafted trip for both you and the kids.
Fall in love with Italy and rediscover the rewards of family travel on this carefully crafted trip for both you and the kids. Over eight days, you’ll journey from the ruins of Rome to the shadow of mighty Mt Vesuvius. Deep dive into the history of the ancient ruins of Pompeii, then sit back and relax with a glass of Sangiovese (while the kids chase wild rabbits) on the farmlands of an agriturismo. Take a daytrip to the island of Capri and redesign family pizza night after learning the tricks of the trade in a cooking demonstration in Sorrento. With all the logistics and essential experiences taken care of, you can treat yourself to some family time on an Italian adventure that does the job, so you don’t have to.
Highlights
- Explore the town frozen in time with a day and night in Pompeii, including a short hike to the summit of the volcanic Mt Vesuvius.
- Soak up the famously laidback atmosphere of the sun-drenched southern coast—the perfect place to relax and spend quality time with the family.
- Learn the art of southern Italian pizza at a family-run agriturismo, then enjoy a glass of wine while the kids explore the farm full of friendly wild rabbits.
- Cruise across the Bay of Naples to Capri – a holiday destination favoured by the Roman emperors. With its glistening grottoes and little white houses, it’s easy to see why.
- Let your expert leader take the hassle out of family travel as they guide you through the history and highlights of Italy – so you can just relax and hand over the responsibility!

This was a fantastic, well organised trip to see Italy with kids. Great balance of organised activities and free time with limited travelling time in between. Accomodation was basic but comfortable with breakfast included every day. The Capri boat tour (although an optional extra) was a highlight for the kids as they loved jumping off the boat!

Our best holiday in years! Sunshine, volcanoes, Roman ruins, swimming in blue seas, pizza, new friends and a helpful and knowledgable guide. Even our teenagers are telling everyone how good it was, which is probably the best recommendation you can get. Thanks Intrepid :)

Fabulous holiday, with a great mix of iconic tourist sites (Pompeii, Vesuvius) and much more hidden local Italian gems. My 3 kids (12, 15 and 18) loved it, and made good friends with other children on the tour. Wonderful, relaxed but organised tour leader. My first Intrepid trip, but very unlikely to be my last.

I highly recommend this family tour. We were sceptical of a tour in general, and this one surpassed our wildest dreams - we will definitely be doing another one next year. Having a calm and capable tour guide to manage all of the logistics meant that we could relax on holiday for the first time since our kids were born. The itinerary gave us access to people and experiences that were meaningful, authentic and local - we made memories for a lifetime. Finally, the true highlight of the trip was the community that we formed as a tour group, including our lovely leader Carlotta. Despite the big variances in the children's ages (from 7-16) and nationalities (5 countries), they somehow formed a pack early on, looked after each other, and played games and cards into the wee hours of each night - as we adults enjoyed drinks and discussions (Often at a separate table!) It was one of the best vacations I've ever had and I can't wait for our next Intrepid trip.

Great bonding experience for both kids and parents/grandparents. By the second day, Our group of 8 kids from 7 to 16 and 8 adults from 35 to 75 operated as an extended, functional family, even though we had never met before and were from 4 English speaking Countries.

What a nice trip for me and my son. Our leader was fantastic. I highly recommend going with the seat-and-umbrella rental in Minori, since that day is a nice opp to relax. We got an upgraded boat for the trip to Capri, which was the highlight of the trip.

Great family trip. Highly recommend if traveling with kids who are not rambunctious. Trip offered time to spend and socialize with other families who also enjoy traveling and created a pleasurable experience with people from around the globe.

I recommend Intrepid to everyone! My child and I went to Vietnam in ’19 and Italy in ‘22. Intrepid tours are a GREAT way to explore the world with other like-minded folks! Intrepid sets itself apart by their hands-on activities, local guides, in-depth information, and unique and fun adventures!

We had a wonderful Family vacation in Italy!! The trip was seamless from the moment that we met our Intrepid guide, Lodovica. Every detail was clearly communicated and allowed us to relax and enjoy Italy! We are already planning our next Intrepid vacation.
