The SCS Italian Tour 2026 kicked off with an early collection by Damien Long Coaches to Cork Airport for a hassle free flight to Rome.

Blue skies and sunshine greeted us, which was perfect for our walking tour of Rome. What a beautiful city. Our tour guide, Georgio expertly guided us through the bustling streets, taking in some very special sights, including the Spanish Steps, Trevi Fountain and Colosseum. It was a quick visit but we definitely felt the buzz and energy within the walls of this ancient city.

Back on the bus and it was straight on the road south to Sorrento which would be our base for the next three days. On arrival we were blown away by the moonlit bay of Naples in the shadow of the imposing Mount Vesuvius. We finished off day one with a delicious dinner, hotel check in and bed for our weary travellers.
