About this tour
This 9-hour shore excursion strings together three unmissable Campania highlights: the clifftop town of Positano, the archaeological site of Pompeii, and the coastal charm of Sorrento. Departing at 8am from Naples or Salerno, you'll travel by private vehicle with an English-speaking driver and benefit from a guided walk through Pompeii's preserved streets before returning to your ship by 5pm. Your transport is sorted, though entrance fees and meals aren't included.
Highlights
- Positano's pastel-coloured houses stacked above the Tyrrhenian Sea
- Pompeii's streets, villas and thermae with expert interpretation
- Sorrento's historic centre and lemon-growing landscape
- Private transport with English-speaking driver throughout
- Guided archaeological tour of Pompeii included
- Wheelchair-accessible vehicles and sites
What to expect
You'll start with a drive along the dramatic Amalfi Coast to Positano, where you'll have time to wander the steep pedestrian streets and take in the views. Next comes Pompeii, where a guide will lead you through the haunting ruins of this 1st-century Roman city—expect exposed mosaics, intact doorways and the stark sense of life frozen in time. The final stop is Sorrento's old town, perched above the sea, before the return journey to your ship. Most of the day involves light walking on uneven ancient surfaces and modern cobblestones, so wear trainers.
Good to know
Book with your ship's name, docking time and re-boarding deadline. Groups are capped at 7 people per booking. Pay Pompeii's entrance fee separately on arrival. Bring sunscreen, a hat and water. Smart-casual dress is expected. Prams and infant seats are available.
