What to expect
You'll be collected from your Naples accommodation or cruise ship and driven south along the Amalfi coast, stopping at Sorrento for unstructured time to wander the town and absorb the sea views. The road hugs cliffs as you head to Positano, where steep streets lead down to beach-level cafés and boutiques. The second half focuses on Pompeii: your private guide leads you through preserved streets, forums and homes, explaining daily Roman life frozen in ash. Expect plenty of driving time between stops and exposed walking in Pompeii's sun.
