About this tour
A 9-hour private tour combining two of southern Italy's most compelling sites. Start at Pompeii, where a local guide walks you through the remarkably preserved Roman city—homes, public baths, temples, theatres, and everyday structures frozen by Vesuvius's eruption. After exploring the archaeological park, drive south to the Amalfi Coast, where dramatic cliffs meet the Tyrrhenian Sea. Spend time in Amalfi itself, a UNESCO-listed town with medieval architecture and coastal charm.

- See theatres, temples, and bathing complexes from 79 AD
- Drive the spectacular Amalfi Coast with sweeping coastal views
- Explore Amalfi town's narrow streets and historic centre
- Private vehicle with professional guide throughout
- Suitable for families with prams and infant seats available
What to expect
You'll spend roughly 4–5 hours at Pompeii with your guide, moving at a measured pace through the site's main attractions—homes with original mosaics, the forum, theatres, and smaller structures that reveal how Romans lived. The guide contextualises what you're seeing, making the ruins coherent rather than overwhelming. Afterwards, a comfortable drive takes you south to the Amalfi Coast; the road winds dramatically above the water. You'll have time to wander Amalfi's compact centre, grab lunch (at your own cost), and photograph the landscape before heading back to Rome.
Good to know
Pompeii entry tickets are not included and must be booked separately. Wear comfortable shoes—the archaeological park requires substantial walking on uneven stone. Bring sunscreen, hat, and water. Lunch stops en route are at your own expense. The full day is tiring but accessible for most fitness levels.
