About this tour
An 11-hour private journey from Rome taking in two of southern Italy's most striking destinations. Your driver collects you from your hotel in a comfortable minivan and guides you either to the excavated Roman city of Pompeii first or the dramatic Amalfi coastline—the order depends on conditions. A specialist accompanies you through Pompeii's ruins for roughly 2.5 hours, bypassing ticket queues, while the coastal leg includes stops along cliff-edge roads and time to explore Amalfi and Positano independently.
Highlights
- Skip-the-queue access to Pompeii's ancient streets and buildings
- Expert-led walk through Europe's most preserved Roman site
- Hairpin coastal drive with panoramic pullover viewpoints
- Independent exploration of Amalfi and Positano villages
- Door-to-door service with private air-conditioned transport
- Flexible routing based on traffic and weather conditions
What to expect
Your driver will meet you in your hotel lobby and brief you on the day's sequence. The Pompeii leg demands moderate fitness as you'll be on your feet navigating uneven ancient pavements and climbing steps; the guide handles historical context while you absorb the scale of a city buried by Vesuvius. Afterwards, you'll drive the serpentine Amalfi road—expect hairpins and coastal views, with planned stops to stretch and photograph. You'll have roughly an hour free in Positano to wander the pastel-coloured maze or grab lunch independently (not provided).
Good to know
Bring water, sunscreen, and sturdy walking shoes for Pompeii. The minivan is air-conditioned but the archaeological site offers limited shade. Lunch isn't included, so budget for it separately. Children need supervision throughout. A valid passport is required. Infant car seats can be arranged on request.
