About this tour
A full-day guided tour combining two of Italy's most compelling destinations. Start at Pompeii, where a licensed guide walks you through the 2,000-year-old Roman city—past frescoes, mosaics and public buildings frozen in time. Then head along the dramatic Amalfi Coast to Positano, a vertical village of pastel houses and terraced gardens sloping to the sea. Browse independent shops and waterfront trattorias before returning to your hotel. Includes air-conditioned transport and driver.
Highlights
- Original Roman frescoes and mosaic floors at Pompeii
- Walking through ancient streets, theatres and public baths
- Amalfi Coast coastal drive with sweeping Mediterranean views
- Positano's pastel architecture and vine-covered stairways
- Free time to explore Positano's independent boutiques and cafés
- Licensed guide interpreting Pompeii's history and stories
What to expect
Your English-speaking driver picks you up and drives you south to Pompeii. Once there, your licensed guide takes over, leading you through the ash-buried streets where ordinary life stopped abruptly nearly two millennia ago. You'll see preserved homes, temples, theatres and bathhouses—each with frescoes and inscriptions still visible on the walls. The guide contextualises what you're seeing, though the scale of the site means you're covering highlights rather than everything. After Pompeii, you drive onto the Amalfi Coast road, which switchbacks spectacularly above the sea. Positano appears suddenly—a cascade of coloured houses clinging to a near-vertical cliff. You have leisure time to wander the narrow passages, duck into shops, grab a coffee or lunch by the water, then return to your hotel.
Good to know
Pompeii entrance fees (€19 per person) are separate. Wear comfortable walking shoes—Pompeii is largely uneven, and Positano involves stairs. The route is accessible for wheelchairs, and prams are manageable. Summer heat at Pompeii is intense; bring water and sun protection.
