Overview

Check off two UNESCO-listed wonders on this full-day tour from Rome: the mighty ruins of Pompeii and the idyllic Amalfi Coast. First, you’ll discover the relics of one of ancient Rome’s most important cities as you explore the remarkably preserved streets of Pompeii. Then, soak up the scenery along the Amalfi Coast and stop for lunch (at your own expense) in the picturesque village of Positano. This small-group tour is limited to 18 guests to ensure a personalized and intimate experience.

Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product

Stop At: Rome, Rome, Lazio

Meet your tour leader and small group in central Rome and hop aboard a private, air-conditioned minibus—the most comfortable way to navigate the jaw-dropping drive that awaits us.

Duration: 3 hours 30 minutes

Stop At: Pompeii Archaeological Park, Porta Marina (via Villa dei Misteri), 80045 Pompeii Italy

Wander the fully preserved streets of Pompeii on a guided tour. This thriving port town was frozen in time when it was engulfed by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD. View the death casts of people caught in the eruption and peek into shops, temples, public baths, and maybe even a brothel (if suitable for the group).

Duration: 2 hours 30 minutes

Stop At: Amalfi Coast, Amalfi Coast, Province of Salerno, Campania

After Pompeii, it’s back onto the minibus for one of the most unforgettable drives of your life down the hairpin turns and panoramic vistas of the Amalfi coast. It won’t take long for you to see why this is considered Italy’s most scenic drive (although certainly not the easiest to navigate—you’ll be glad you have a professional driver!).

Duration: 1 hour

Stop At: Positano, Positano, Amalfi Coast, Province of Salerno, Campania

Following in the footsteps of literary greats like Shelley, Goethe and Steinbeck, you’ll be free to explore this little town on foot, sampling its incredible seafood, browsing the fashionable boutiques, or ordering bespoke, handmade sandals.

Duration: 2 hours 15 minutes

Stop At: Rome, Rome, Lazio

After a full day of exploring two of southern Italy’s greatest gems, you’ll head back onto the bus for a comfortable journey back to Rome.

Duration: 3 hours 30 minutes

To start off, our tour guide Andrea did an awesome job. It is a decent drive to the Amalfi Coast from Rome and Andrea was very engaging in commentary both in history of the areas we were driving through and in other discussions on random topics of interest. He also had great recommendations on which beaches would be good to visit from Rome for us for a beach trip we were planning. Our tour hit a snag with a delayed bike race around Pompeii due to weather which blocked off roads that led to the Pompeii site. It took a bit of time, but Andrea and our bus driver worked on the fly with different groups to figure out when we would be able to get to the Pompeii site instead of canceling that part of our tour. The Pompeii site is very interesting to see firsthand, a really interesting place to visit as a snapshot frozen in time. Although the Amalfi coast is very picturesque, I would say we enjoyed the Pompeii experience more.

This was a great way to spend the day! It’s a long one but worth it. Our tour guide Cosmos was very nice and gave us lots of information and time to nap on the trip to Pompeii. The bus is fairly comfortable however if you’re tall as I am, a bit cramped. The rest stop used on both sides of Pompeii and Positano is typical tourist spot. Pompeii is an intriguing place. Our guide there, Claudia, is an archaeologist who actually is involved with the excavation. She was very informative and precise in her information. Also very personable and nice. We learned so much. It is a beautiful place in a sad way. .Positano and the coast are beautiful breathtaking spots. We stopped for pictures on the way at a gorgeous spot. A tip would be to sit on side away from driver. Although the driver side is obviously going to be on coast side on returning journey, the angle is harder to get pictures. Positano is very small and has lots of shops. Vendors line the streets with beautiful artwork. Be sure to enjoy a bit of lemoncello. Just be careful, it’s potent.

If you have an extra day to spend, then yes this trip is worth it. I wish we would have spent more time in Pompeii and that the guide/archeologist was more engaging. Positano is a cute coastal town which comes highly recommended. But the drive down is full of twists and turns so beware. The driver and main guide were great. Again, if you have an extra day to spend then why not.

Our guide, Federico, was exceptional. Sonia, the Pompeii guide, was also outstanding. Additionally, our driver did an excellent job. Positano and the coast were breathtaking; Pompeii was truly remarkable. Highly recommended!
