Pompeii, Sorrento and Amalfi Coast (Driver Only/Self Touring)

About this tour

Your private driver delivers you from Rome to Campania's trio of coastal treasures: the preserved Roman ruins of Pompeii, the lemon-scented streets of Sorrento, and the pastel cliffs of Positano. You explore each destination at your own pace over eight hours in a Mercedes with an English-speaking driver who stays with the car—Italian law keeps non-licensed guides vehicle-bound. This is self-directed travel with wheels and someone who knows the roads.

Highlights

• Pompeii's ash-buried streets and house interiors on your timeline
• Sorrento's local trattorias and harbour-side lemon groves
• Positano's vertical village tumbling to the Tyrrhenian Sea
• Private air-conditioned Mercedes throughout the day
• Driver handles navigation and parking logistics
• Unrushed travel between three distinct towns

What to expect

You'll ride south through rural Campania, arriving at Pompeii where you wander the archaeological site independently—streets, bakeries, brothels, homes, all eerily intact beneath volcanic pumice. Your driver remains at the vehicle. You then drive to Sorrento, a working town with orange and lemon culture, shops, and waterfront restaurants where you'll likely lunch (not included). The final stop is Positano, a dramatically steep settlement of pastel buildings stacked above a pebble beach. There's genuine walking on uneven ancient cobbles and steep gradients, particularly at Positano. Pace and stops are yours to set.
