About this tour
Spend 7–9 hours tracing Pompeii's volcanic past before ascending to Ravello's clifftop vantage point. This private tour pairs two of Campania's defining destinations: the preservation of a Roman city buried in 79 AD, revealed through a guided archaeological walk, then a self-guided wander through a medieval village renowned for terraced gardens and unobstructed coastal views. Transport, water, and site entry are sorted; lunch at a local winery is available as an optional add-on.
Highlights
- 2-hour guided exploration of Pompeii's streets, villas, and temples
- Entry fees and private car included throughout
- Free time to navigate Ravello's gardens and pathways independently
- Optional lunch and wine tasting at regional winery
- Air-conditioned vehicle with wheelchair accessible features
What to expect
Start early at Pompeii, where your guide navigates the sprawling site—expect to walk uneven ancient ground, read Latin inscriptions, and visualise domestic and civic life preserved under ash. After two hours, you'll transfer by private car to Ravello, a 45-minute journey. The village sits high above the Amalfi coast; bring sunscreen and comfortable shoes for cobbled streets and steep lanes. You'll have several hours to visit gardens (Villa Rufolo, Villa Cimbrone), browse shops, and pause at viewpoints. The pace is yours; no rush. If you've booked lunch, a winery will serve regional plates with local wine.
Good to know
Pompeii involves walking on uneven, sometimes steep terrain—trainers essential. The site offers limited shade; bring a hat and water. Ravello's hills suit steady walkers; there's no single "loop." Wheelchair users can navigate some areas, though cobbles and gradients exist. Not advised for those with heart or respiratory concerns.
