About this tour
A 10-hour private tour from Rome that pairs the excavated Roman city of Pompeii with the dramatic Amalfi Coast. Your English-speaking driver collects you at 7:30am and ferries you south in a climate-controlled minivan. A professional guide walks you through Pompeii's preserved streets and buildings for roughly two hours, then you traverse the coastal road with stops at clifftop viewpoints, explore Amalfi town, and spend an hour wandering Positano's pastel-painted villages before returning to Rome.

What to expect
You'll start early, meeting your driver at your Rome hotel. The drive south takes several hours. Once at Pompeii, expect a structured 2-hour walking tour where your guide unpacks daily life frozen in ash—kitchens, amphitheatres, graffiti. Afterwards, the drive to the coast rewards you with switchback roads and hairpin bends; your driver stops regularly so you can absorb the views and photograph the sea far below. Amalfi itself is a brief stop; Positano gives you breathing room to wander its stacked houses and waterfront. The return journey is long but scenic.
Good to know
Wear comfortable walking shoes for Pompeii's uneven volcanic stone. Bring sun protection and water. The coastal road winds sharply—not ideal if prone to motion sickness. Your driver handles all navigation; admission to Pompeii is covered, but meals and drinks are your expense.
