Start your unforgettable day trip in Rome, where you’ll meet your driver and fellow travelers at the designated meeting point. Sit back, relax, and enjoy the scenic drive down the Autostrada del Sole (Highway of the Sun) toward the stunning Gulf of Naples.
3hDepending on your chosen option at check-out, you'll arrive in Positano OR Sorrento. In either of these charming seaside villages, we recommend treating yourself to a tangy shot of locally produced Limoncello (at your own expense), heading out for a stroll, and sitting down for a leisurely lunch (at your own expense).
1h 30mAt a stunning viewpoint, we’ll switch to smaller vans and wind our way along the iconic coastal roads where the Dolce Vita was born. Get ready to be awestruck by dramatic cliffs plunging into the sea and picturesque villages climbing the mountainsides like vines.
Pass by, no stopStep back in time to the ancient city of Pompeii, frozen in a remarkable time capsule by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 A.D. Skip the line and explore this UNESCO World Heritage site with a professional archaeologist guide. Wander through well-preserved streets, homes, and temples, uncovering the secrets of Roman life. Pompeii’s tragic past transforms into an unforgettable adventure that immerses you in history.
2h · Admission includedAfter 2 hours touring Pompeii, it's time to head back to Rome. As the day draws to a close, you’ll be left with unforgettable memories of Pompeii’s ancient wonders and the Amalfi Coast’s breathtaking beauty, a perfect blend of history and natural wonder.
3hReady to escape Rome for the day? This round-trip journey to Pompeii and the Amalfi Coast pairs ancient history with free time in either Positano or Sorrento.
Travel south in a comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle with your driver and tour leader, soaking in the changing scenery as you approach the coast. You’ll enjoy free time in your chosen seaside town, whether that’s Positano, known for its narrow staircases, boutique shops, and dramatic cliffside setting, or Sorrento, loved for its grand terraces, lemon groves, and lively piazzas. Take your time exploring, browsing local shops, or settling in for a leisurely lunch.
Later, continue on to Pompeii, where an expert archaeologist guide will bring the ancient city to life beneath Mount Vesuvius. Walk along remarkably preserved streets, see the plaster cast victims, visit the baths and ancient brothel, and capture unforgettable views.
After a full day of coastal charm and ancient discovery, relax on the scenic drive back to Rome.
