Transport, Pompeii entry and the tour leader are included at €101 per person, food and hotel pickup are not. The order can be reversed on the day, and car seats need notice. ## Overview Ready 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. ## Key facts - Price: from €101 per person - Duration: 12h–13h - Rating: 4.64/5 from 226 reviews (collected from Guidekin & Viator & Tripadvisor) - Free cancellation (see policy below) - Operator: The Tour Guy ## Tour options Prices are the operator's current list price for two travellers (whole euros); options sold only to bigger parties say so; pick the option on the booking page. | Option | Price | Guide languages | Details | |---|---|---|---| | From Rome: Pompeii & Sorrento | €101 / person | English | Group tour: Max 50 guests Includes: Explore Sorrento from Rome with free time to wander, then enjoy a guided tour of Pompeii’s ancient ruins from an archeologist | | From Rome: Pompeii & Positano | €140 / person | English | Group tour: Max 50 guests Includes: Roundtrip transportation from Rome, free time in Positano, then head to Pompeii for a guided tour with an archeologist | | Private Tour - Spanish | €1466 / person (for 2+ people) | English | Private Tour Includes: Private transportation from Rome, free time in Positano, then head to Pompeii for a Spanish guided tour with an archeologist | | Private Tour - English | €1466 / person (for 2+ people) | English | Private tour Includes: Private transportation from Rome, free time in Positano, then head to Pompeii for an English guided tour with an archeologist | ## What's included - Skip-the-Line Access to Pompeii - Scenic Drive along the Amalfi Coast - Round-trip, Air-Conditioned Transportation from Rome - Engaging English-Speaking Tour Leader Throughout the Day - Free Time to Explore Positano OR Sorrento (Depending on option chosen at check-out) - Guided Tour of Pompeii with an Archaeologist ## Not included - Hotel pick-up / drop-off - Food & Beverages - Gratuities (optional) ## Itinerary 1. **Rome** (3h) - Start your unforgettable day trip in Rome, where you’ll meet your driver and fellow travelers at the designated meeting point.
