About this tour

Travel from Naples to Positano in a private air-conditioned minivan whilst pausing for a guided archaeological walk through Herculaneum. Your professional driver collects you from the airport, hotel or station and escorts you through the remarkably preserved Roman town before continuing to the Amalfi Coast. The 2-hour tour with an expert guide reveals the layers of volcanic ash that froze daily life in 79 AD, making the detour both educational and efficient for those heading south.

  • 2-hour guided walk through Herculaneum's preserved Roman buildings
  • Expert archaeological guide explains everyday life beneath Vesuvius ash
  • Direct drop-off to your Positano accommodation

What to expect

You'll be collected from your Naples base and settle into a climate-controlled minivan for the journey towards Positano. Midway, you'll stop at Herculaneum where your guide leads you through the excavated site, pointing out intact wooden beams, carbonised furniture and frescoes that survived the 79 AD eruption far better than Pompeii. Expect steep stone steps, narrow passages and about 90 minutes of walking. The guide shares context about the people who lived there, making the ruins feel inhabited. Once finished, you'll continue to Positano for drop-off, arriving relaxed rather than frazzled.
