About this tour
A 9-hour loop from Sorrento covering two of Campania's highlights: a certified guide leads you through Pompeii's excavated streets for 2 hours, then your driver takes the coastal road to Positano and Amalfi, where you'll have free time to wander each town. You'll leave at 7:45 AM and return by 4:45 PM, with water and transport sorted. Lunch is your call.
Highlights
- Licensed archaeologist walks you through Pompeii's preserved streets
- Amalfi Coast drive with natural viewpoints for photographs
- 1 hour exploring Positano's steep pastel lanes and waterfront
- Amalfi town centre from Flavio Gioia square to Saint Andrew cathedral
- Air-conditioned Mercedes, English-speaking driver throughout
- Ticket queues avoided if you buy Pompeii passes online beforehand
What to expect
You'll start early, heading straight to Pompeii where your guide navigates the site's major structures and stories. The pace is steady but requires good walking fitness across uneven ancient stone. After two hours, you board the Mercedes for the coastal drive—genuinely scenic, with stops suggested by your driver. Positano hits first: steep alleys, boutiques, beach access, and cafés; find lunch here if you want. Then Amalfi's main square and cathedral. Both towns deserve meandering rather than rushing. You'll be back in Sorrento by late afternoon.
