About this tour
A full-day circuit from Sorrento through three iconic Campania destinations. Your driver collects you from your hotel and follows the stunning Sorrentine peninsula coastline to Positano, where pastel-hued buildings cascade down cliffsides. You'll continue to Amalfi to explore its cathedral and cloister—relics of its medieval maritime glory. After lunch at leisure, the route culminates at Pompeii's excavated streets, frozen in time since Vesuvius buried the city in 79 AD. Eight hours of layered Mediterranean history and seaside charm.
Highlights
- Positano's stacked white houses and dramatic coastal views
- Amalfi's Norman cathedral and ornate cloister
- Sorrentine peninsula's winding cliffside drive
- Walk through Pompeii's preserved Roman neighbourhoods
- See domestic spaces and public buildings from Imperial times
- Self-guided pacing at each stop
What to expect
Expect mostly vehicle time punctuated by walking. The driver navigates the sinuous coastal road with sweeping views of the Gulf of Naples; Positano is compact, best explored on foot through tight alleyways and piazzas. Amalfi's cathedral sits at the town's heart—a brief, atmospheric visit. A lunch break gives you breathing room (not included). Pompeii's ruins demand stamina: uneven ground, limited shade, crowds. You'll wander among house foundations, amphitheatres, and frescoed walls at your own pace, though a paid local guide enriches interpretation considerably.
Good to know
Pompeii entrance fee (€20) and optional local guide (€170 total) are separate. Wear solid walking shoes and bring sun protection. Prams work in Positano and Amalfi but struggle on Pompeii's rubble. Moderate fitness needed for uneven terrain and sustained walking.
