About this tour
A 12-hour expedition from Rome combining the haunting streets of Pompeii with the dramatic cliffsides of the Amalfi Coast. Travel in small vans capped at 7–8 passengers, guided through the preserved Roman city by a local expert, then wind along one of Europe's most spectacular coastal roads with stops in Positano and Amalfi.

What to expect
You'll depart Rome early and travel to Pompeii, where a local guide leads you through streets buried by Vesuvius in 79 AD. Expect uneven stone pavements, steep sections, and the surreal experience of walking past preserved homes and forums. After 2–3 hours, you'll return to the van and head south. The drive to the Amalfi Coast winds through dramatic scenery; stops in Positano and Amalfi allow time to wander narrow alleys, grab lunch (your cost), and soak in the Mediterranean views. The journey back to Rome is long, arriving late evening.
Good to know
Wear sturdy, slip-resistant shoes for Pompeii's ancient streets. Bring water and sun protection. Not suitable for pregnant travellers, those with spinal issues, or poor cardiovascular fitness. Infants can sit on laps or use available car seats. Gratuities aren't included.
