A licensed archaeologist leads a two-hour guided walk through the preserved Roman city, revealing daily life frozen by volcanic ash nearly two millennia ago. This 7–8 hour loop captures coastal scenery, archaeological depth, and village charm in a single day.

What to expect
You'll start with hotel or port collection, then settle into the minivan for a scenic drive down the Amalfi Coast. Your driver shares stories and points out landmarks along the way. At Positano or Sorrento, you'll have unscheduled time to wander narrow streets, photograph terraced buildings, and grab a coffee. The day's centrepiece is Pompeii: your archaeologist guide walks you through the forum, homes, and public baths, explaining how the 79 AD eruption preserved everything. Expect cobbled paths, some steep sections, and crowds, especially mid-morning. Bring water and comfortable shoes.
Good to know
Lunch is not included; your driver can suggest local trattorias beforehand. Groups limited to 7 people. Cruise passengers: provide ship name, dock and re-board times at booking. Infant seats available; service animals welcome. Wear sunscreen and a hat—little shade at Pompeii.
