**Guidekin's take:** A private driver and vehicle for Pompeii and Positano with hotel pickup and a flexible itinerary, with a professional guide for the ruins as an option rather than a default. Transport and pickup are included at €456 per person, Pompeii entry, lunch and tips are not. Be ready at the pickup time, the day does not stretch if you are late.

## Overview

Discover the rich history and dreamy coastal scenery that typifies southern Italy on this private day trip to Pompeii and the Amalfi Coast from Rome. Explore the UNESCO-listed ruins of Pompeii either independently or with an expert guide, and get a glimpse of what daily life was like before the tragic eruption of Mt Vesuvius some 2,000 years ago. Then, make for the breathtaking Amalfi Coast. Drink in sweeping vistas of the Mediterranean Sea and enjoy ample free time to explore the postcard-perfect town of Positano.

## Itinerary

1. **Rome** (pass by, no stop) - This private tour has been designed for guests staying in Rome who wish to enjoy an overview of the spectacular Amalfi coast and explore the amazing ruins of Pompeii. After being picked up from your centrally-located Rome hotel, you will start your journey south to Italy’s...
2. **Castelli Romani** (pass by, no stop) - Your voyage begins with a drive through lush farmlands and rolling hills of the Castelli Romani region, just south of Rome. Castelli Romani literally means "Roman Castles," which probably evokes images of stone palaces, fairy tale monarchs, and towers where Rapunzel could let...
3. **Abbazia Di Montecassino** (pass by, no stop) - Founded by Saint Benedict in 529, Montecassino is one of Europe's oldest monasteries and the birthplace of the Benedictine order. Over the centuries the abbey has suffered numerous disasters, from being sacked by a variety of invaders to being destroyed by an earthquake, and...
4. **Bay of Naples** (pass by, no stop) - As you travel around the Bay of Naples, you will receive a welcome not only from the sparkling water of the wide, graceful gulf but also from the natural wonder that dominates the landscape to the east: Mount Vesuvius. To the south of the bay lies the Sorrentine peninsula...
5. **Vesuvius National Park** (pass by, no stop) - As you drive past the imposing figure of Mt. Vesuvius, you'll also note that the area at the base of the volcano is vastly inhabited. About 3,000,000 people live in the shadow of Vesuvius, making it the most densely populated volcanic region in the world.
6. **Archaeological Park of Pompeii** (2h) - Pompeii is a place where time has stood still since 79 AD, when the cataclysmic eruption of Mt. Vesuvius rained tons of ash and lava down on the Roman city. The monumental disaster perfectly preserved the city, enabling modern-day visitors to get a unique look at Ancient...
7. **Costiera Amalfitana** (pass by, no stop) - The Amalfi Coast draws millions of visitors every year with the astounding beauty of its cliffs and sea. We'll travel a section of this dramatic coastline to reach Positano.
8. **Positano** (2h) - In the seaside village of Positano, a picture postcard comes to life. Nestled into the green cliffs, a patchwork of coloured houses tumbles down to meet the gentle curve of the beach and the sparking blue sea beyond. Enjoy time at your leisure and explore the designer...
