Customize your trip

With our True Choice Program, you can choose to stay longer before or after your trip on your own, or combine two vacations to maximize your value. Here are more ways to create the Grand Circle vacation that’s right for you:

  • Choose our standard air routing, or work with us to select the airline and routing you prefer
  • Make your own international flight arrangements, applying frequent flyer miles if available
  • Stay overnight in a connecting city before or after your trip
  • Request to arrive a few days early to get a fresh start on your vacation
  • Choose to “break away” before or after your trip, spending additional days or weeks on your own
  • Extend your vacation with our optional pre- and post-trip extensions
  • Combine your choice of Grand Circle vacations to maximize your value
  • Upgrade to business or premium economy class

These options will involve an additional fee of $100 per person for confirmed requests (as well as incremental airfare costs based on your specific choice). This service fee will be waived for Inner Circle Club members.

Or, when you make your reservation, you can choose our standard air routing, for which approximate travel times are shown below.

Optional Tours


Tailor your vacation with our optional tours

Day 8:
Siena $115 per person
Siena

Join us today on our optional tour of Siena, Florence’s great historical rival. Laid out over the slopes of three steep hills, this Gothic city offers its visitors a rich tapestry of churches, monuments, and other historical sites. We’ll see the Duomo—Siena’s main cathedral—and its famous square, the Piazza del Campo. After our tour, enjoy a delicious lunch with wine in a cozy restaurant just steps from the main square. Then enjoy free time to make your own discoveries.

Day 11:
Sorrentine Adventure $65 per person
 

Venture inland to the lovely countryside outside Sorrento to an agriturismo farm. First, you’ll tour the farm and learn about the production. Using fresh ingredients, you’ll learn how to make pizzas in true Italian fashion during a hands-on lesson—then taste the results.

Day 12:
Isle of Capri $130 per person

Home to emperors past and jet-setters present, the Isle of Capri is only seven miles off the coast of Sorrento. You'll cruise on a high-speed jetfoil to the island and then ride to the village of Anacapri, which has spectacular views of the Bay of Naples and Mount Vesuvius. After some free time, you'll enjoy an included lunch. Later, you'll venture to the chic town of Capri. Heading back, you'll ride the funicular train down to port and catch the boat to Sorrento.

Please note: The funicular train may not be available on November-April departures.

Day 15:
Pompeii & Archaeological Musuem of Naples $120 per person

Join us on an optional excursion to Pompeii and the Archaeological Museum of Naples. Totally buried by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in AD 79, Pompeii's antiquities offer you an unparalleled view of Roman life. You'll explore Pompeii's most significant sites and learn how its people lived. The World Monuments Fund, to which Grand Circle Foundation has contributed $150,000 for preservation efforts across Europe, cites Pompeii as one of the world's 100 most-endangered sites. After some free time, we'll enjoy lunch in a local restaurant. Then it’s on to Naples, one of the world’s most beautiful seaports. The tour features an in-depth exploration of the National Archeological Museum, one of Europe’s most valuable repositories. You’ll also enjoy a panoramic tour of the city’s highlights, including the Maschio Angioino, Palazzo Reale, Piazza Plebiscito, the Galleria Umberto, and the Teatro San Carlo. The cost of this optional tour includes lunch.
