• Day 3 Exploring Pozzuoli

  Leave the hotel after breakfast and drive south (approximately 3 hours) to Pozzuoli, near Naples. After one day, the south wind blew, and we arrived the next day at Puteoli (Acts 28:13). Relax at the hotel before heading to the center of the village. Visit the seaport area and the Roman Amphitheater to get a sense of what Paul experienced once he arrived on the mainland of the “Roman Empire.” Take a break to taste authentic Neapolitan coffee or pizza before returning to the hotel for dinner and overnight stay.

Buried under a layer of ashes and lava by the sudden eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 A.D., Pompeii reveals a frozen city, preserving daily life from the Imperial Age. After exploring, take a break for lunch and then drive back to Rome (approximately 3 hours). Check-in at the hotel for dinner and overnight stay.

• Day 5 Imperial Rome and Christian Heritage

  The Basilica of San Clemente is not just another church in Rome—it's unique! Explore its magnificent frescoes and twelfth-century mosaics. Visit a fourth-century basilica and learn about its history as one of the first house churches where Paul preached. Continue with a walking tour of Imperial Rome, including the Colosseum (inside), Palatine Hill, and Roman Forums. If the group is interested, visit the Mamertine Prison, where St. Peter and St. Paul were held. In the afternoon, visit the Trevi Fountain, Pantheon (inside), and Navona Square.

In the afternoon, visit the Abbey of the Three Fountains, the site of Paul’s martyrdom, where tradition claims three fountains miraculously sprang up where his head touched the ground. Explore St. Paul Outside the Walls, a Benedictine Abbey where the bones of Paul were recently discovered. Return to the hotel for dinner and overnight stay.

• Day 7 Ancient Appian Way and Journey to Florence

  Our tour of Rome continues as we drive along the Ancient Appian Way and stop to visit the Catacombs of Santa Domitilla. These Christian catacombs were used for burial and memorial services for early Christian martyrs. They were not regular worship places but served as hidden refuges during times of persecution. After visiting the catacombs, depart Rome for Florence (approximately 3 hours’ drive), with a break for lunch on the way. Check-in at the hotel for dinner and overnight stay.

The tour will conclude at The Accademia Gallery, where Michelangelo’s famous "David" is displayed. Enjoy leisure time in the afternoon to explore more of Florence, including the outdoor Ponte Vecchio, a medieval bridge lined with goldsmiths' shops. Dinner on your own tonight, before returning to the hotel for overnight stay.

• Day 9 Pisa and Journey to Venice

  Pisa’s historical significance dates back to the 11th century when it became one of the four main historical Marine Republics of Italy.
