About this tour
An 11-hour private drive from Rome sweeps you south to Pompeii's haunting ruins, then onwards to the Amalfi Coast's most photogenic town. You'll explore the buried city on your own terms—with a group guide, audio guide, or private archaeologist—before descending into Positano's pastel maze of shops, cafés and coastal views. Your driver remains on call throughout, ferrying you in a climate-controlled vehicle sized to your group.

- Choice of guided or self-guided Pompeii exploration
- Positano's terraced town and dramatic seaside setting
- Dedicated driver for 11 hours, no shared stops
- Vehicle sized to group: sedan for 1–3, SUV or minivan for 4+
- Air-conditioned comfort for the 240 km round trip
What to expect
Your driver collects you in Rome and heads south on the autostrada towards Campania. At Pompeii, you'll have several hours to walk the archaeological site—either tagging along with a larger organised group, navigating independently via audio guide and map, or booking a private archaeologist separately for deeper insight. Expect uneven ancient streets, full sun exposure, and crowds especially mid-morning. After Pompeii, you'll drive to Positano on the Amalfi Coast, where you'll have time to wander its steep pedestrianised streets, browse local shops, and eat lunch at a restaurant of your choosing. Your driver waits nearby and handles any logistics you need.
Good to know
Lunch is not included—budget accordingly for Positano restaurants. Wear sturdy shoes for Pompeii's rough terrain and bring sun protection. The private Pompeii guide costs €99 extra if you want one-on-one commentary. Not suitable if you have serious heart or mobility issues. Infants need appropriate car seats or an adult's lap.
