About this tour
Escape Rome for the day with a private Mercedes transfer to Pompeii and the Amalfi Coast. Your English-speaking driver collects you from your hotel, airport or station and handles the two-hour drive south. Spend your morning exploring the volcanic ruins of Pompeii—either independently or with a licensed guide—then head to Sorrento for lunch with views across the dramatic coastline. You'll be back in Rome by evening, having covered two of Italy's most visited archaeological and coastal destinations without the hassle of public transport or group tours.

What to expect
Your driver arrives at your chosen Roman location in the morning and you settle in for a comfortable two-hour journey to Pompeii. Once there, you're free to wander the excavated streets and buildings at your own pace, or opt for a structured two-hour walking tour with a licensed guide who explains the site's history. After Pompeii, your driver takes you to Sorrento, where you'll have time to grab lunch at a local café or restaurant and soak in the coastal scenery overlooking the Amalfi Coast. The return drive to Rome takes another two hours, with your driver dropping you back at your accommodation by early evening.
Good to know
Pompeii entry tickets and guide fees are separate costs. Wear comfortable walking shoes—the archaeological site is uneven. Bring water and sunscreen. Lunch and drinks are your responsibility. The van is wheelchair accessible and can accommodate prams and infant seats.
