Continue your journey with an ascent to Mt. Vesuvius (from April to early-November), an active volcano boasting breathtaking views of Capri and Sorrento.

After some free time for a few last pictures of Pompeii and lunch (at own expense) the tour will continue further south along the picturesque seaside roads of the Amalfi Coast where the Dolce Vita was born. Here your breath will be taken away by the spectacular coastlines as the mountains cascade into the sea and romantic villages climb up the mountains like grapevines.

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

***If Pompeii, Amalfi & Positano option selected***
The winding roads will lead you to one of the most beautiful seaside villages that the Amalfi Coast has to offer, Positano. Here you will have free time to explore the meandering streets lined with artisanal local shops or just sit back and enjoy the incredible view while sipping the local specialty, limoncello! Whichever you choose you will be sure to remember your afternoon in this jewel of a seaside village.

Falsely advertised a 3 course lunch, hike up Vesuvius and other Vesuvius options that were not part of the tour. The time at Positano and Pompeii were good but guide had bus stop unnecessarily at a vendor to sell us goods.

The tour of Pompeii was amazing. I like archaeology and it was very enlightening to see that time. Up close, and how it was back in Roman times. Our Pompeii tour guide was Lead Lead. Our Viatar tour guide for other parts of the trip was very thorough and helpful.

Perfect March tour. Weather is mild and crowds not bad at all. Definitely don’t try to see it on your own!!! The tour brings it all to life. Positano was beautiful as well.

The guided tour started well with our coach guide, Mario, but unfortunately we were a little disappointed when after the brilliant tour around Pompei with our guide Antonio, we were told by Mario, the expected restaurant lunch could not happen because of a accident on the road to the Almafi coast so we needed to leave in a hurry. We were then herded like school children into firstly a rest room(which not everyone needed) and then into the restaurant to pick up a takeaway meal to eat on the coach. We were then told on route there was no accident . We did not understand why we needed to rush if there was an accident ? surely that would give us more time ? We finished the tour two hours earlier than expected and felt this was the intention of Mario.
