What to expect
You'll be collected from Naples port in a private minivan and driven south towards Pompeii, roughly an hour's journey. Once there, you'll explore at your own pace—the driver waits or accompanies as you prefer. Afterwards, the route winds north along the Amalfi Coast, with opportunities to stop in villages like Positano or Amalfi town, or simply pause at lookout points. Your driver provides context about what you're seeing without scripted commentary. The day feels unhurried; there's no fixed schedule forcing you through sites. Bring water and comfortable shoes for walking Pompeii's uneven ground.
Good to know
Admission tickets to Pompeii are separate and not included. The driver is knowledgeable but not a licensed guide, so consider a guide at the site itself if you want deeper archaeology detail. The route suits all fitness levels, though Pompeii involves standing and uneven surfaces. Minivan is wheelchair accessible. Service runs 8 hours total; plan accordingly for parking and meal breaks.
