About this tour
A six-hour private drive from Salerno threading through three essential stops: the ceramic workshops of Vietri sul Mare, the excavated streets of Pompeii, and the Greek temples at Paestum. Your driver stays with the car at each location, collecting you when you're ready to move on. Designed to pack major archaeological and coastal highlights into a single day without the rush of group tours.
Highlights
- Vietri sul Mare's painted ceramics and harbour-side shopping
- Walk through Pompeii's preserved Roman streets and homes
- Three intact Greek temples at Paestum from the 5th century BCE
- Private vehicle with air conditioning and bottled water
- Driver remains on standby between each site
What to expect
You'll cover serious ground in six hours, so expect a fairly structured itinerary. The driver collects you from Salerno and handles all navigation. At Vietri, you'll browse independently through the town centre—allow an hour or so for ceramics and local shops. Pompeii requires your own ticket and involves walking the ruins; plan for two to three hours depending on your pace. Paestum's temple complex is more compact but equally rewarding. The pace suits those wanting to see multiple sites in one day without joining a larger group, though you'll be moving regularly rather than lingering deeply anywhere.
Good to know
Entry tickets to Pompeii (€22) and Paestum (€21) are separate costs. Wear comfortable shoes—expect considerable walking at both archaeological sites. The vehicle is air-conditioned and supplies water. Prams, strollers, and infant seats are available if needed.
