What to expect
You'll start with pickup from your accommodation, then spend the morning driving the dramatic Amalfi coastline, stopping in both Ravello and Amalfi village to explore on foot. The afternoon shifts to Pompeii, where your guide walks you through the excavated Roman city, explaining how Vesuvius's 79 AD eruption preserved daily life. The pace is steady but relaxed—there's time to absorb each location without rushing. You'll need comfortable walking shoes; the Pompeii sections involve uneven ground and some climbing.
Good to know
Bring water and snacks or plan lunch stops in Amalfi or near Pompeii—costs aren't covered. Wear sunscreen and a hat; coastal stops and Pompeii offer limited shade. Notify the operator of your cruise ship details if boarding from a port. Most areas are wheelchair accessible with advance notice.
