Between the two, which itinerary would be “worth" paying the ABD premium for? We have traveled extensively in Europe (with and without kids) so I’m not necessarily afraid of travel/logistics or the language barrier. There is a certain appeal to not having to wait in the giant Vatican line (Italy), but I have heard really good things about the Amalfi tour as well. My husband is willing to drive in Italy.
What were the highlights that really put one or the other of these trips over the top for you? Or would it be better to just take the money and build our own 2ish week itinerary with private tours instead?
Pre-kids my husband and I did Rome/Naples/Pompeii/Capri/Florence/Siena/San Gimigiano (sp?)/Pisa/Venice in about a week and loved it, but the pace would probably be too fast for the kids. We have also done the Italian lakes but have yet to visit Cinque Terre or Amalfi.
We are looking at a summer 2026 trip (yes, we plan this far in advance because our family’s schedule is really complicated).
