***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.

This is by far the easiest way to visit Vesuvius and Pompeii in one day from Rome. You get picked up early in Piazza del Popolo in central Rome and then all else is managed for you. You are driven down to Vesuvius, where the tickets to walk up to the crater are already obtained for you, then you are driven on to Pompeii and again, your guided tour is all arranged for you. On the way, there are several drink and loo stops, plus a good lunch after your walk up to the Vesuvius crater, and then on your return journey you again have some drink and loo stops. At the end of the day you are brought back to Piazza del Popolo in central Rome. It's a long day but much simple than getting the train to Naples and then trying to get a transfer to both Vesuvius and Pompeii. Barbara the tour guide deserves a special mention. She did her very best to give us interesting information and to shepherd us all through the day, ensuring we had our tickets and were clear on timetables and so on. She did an excellent job. The view of the crater of Vesuvius was incredible, as was the view down to Naples and Capri. Pompeii was also excellent. Highly recommended.

The weather wasn't great but we were lucky with the rain falling only when we were on the coach. The snow thankfully had stopped so we were able to climb Mt Vesuvius. Amazing views and where else can you actually drink wine at the top of a mountain? Pompeii was absolutely fantastic and unbelievable how ingenious the Romans were back in 79AD. Call out to our driver Adamo whose driving was definitely skillful and thanks to Anna Maria whose insight and information was amazing Highly recommend and if you're lucky enough to have both Adamo and Anna Maria then you're definitely lucky

Great tour, our guide Chiara was wonderful and knowledgeable as was the guide at Pompeii. Just be aware it is a very, very long day and kind of hard to appreciate Pompeii when you arrive already exhausted. But both Positano and Pompeii are well worth seeing.

View from Mount Vesuvius of the Volcanic crater on one side and the Bay of Naples on the other. Pompeii.

The actual site was fascinating. The Roman eye for detail jumped out such as the small pieces of marble embedded in the streets to reflect lantern/torch light at night, how to properly drain a street, or tie up a draft animal curbside without using hitching posts.
