About this tour
This eight-to-nine-hour guided tour departs Naples for Pompeii's excavated remains, where you'll spend two hours wandering house foundations, bathhouses, and the amphitheatre to piece together how residents lived before Vesuvius. After that, you'll drive the scenic Amalfi Coast road—stopping for views—and finish with ninety minutes exploring Amalfi's tight-wound streets on foot before returning to your starting point.
Highlights
- Walk through preserved Roman houses of wealthy Pompeii residents
- See the intact theatre, baths and burial grounds in Pompeii
- Pullover viewpoint for full-width Amalfi Coast seascapes
- Wander Amalfi's narrow lanes and waterfront independently
- Multilingual assistant provides context during coach journey
What to expect
You'll meet early in Naples and travel by coach to Pompeii, where a guide walks you through the ancient site for two hours. Expect rubble, crumbling walls and quiet streets—it reads like archaeology, not theme park. The assistant on board answers questions during both drives. Afterwards, head south along the coast road with a designated stop to take in the cliffside views, then arrive in Amalfi for free exploration. The town is steep and cobblestoned; you navigate it solo. Return journey retraces your route back to Naples.
Good to know
Bring water and sun protection—Pompeii has minimal shade. Wear trainers with decent grip for uneven Roman surfaces. The coastal drive can feel winding; take travel sickness precautions if needed. Food and drink aren't provided, so eat before or during Amalfi time.
