Why take this tour?

Check off two UNESCO-listed wonders on this full-day tour from Rome: the mighty ruins of Pompeii and the idyllic Amalfi Coast. First, you’ll discover the relics of one of ancient Rome’s most important cities as you explore the remarkably preserved streets of Pompeii. Then, soak up the scenery along the Amalfi Coast and stop for lunch (at your own expense) in the picturesque village of Positano. This small-group tour is limited to 18 guests to ensure a personalized and intimate experience. 

Meet your tour leader and small group in central Rome and hop aboard a private, air-conditioned minibus—the most comfortable way to navigate the jaw-dropping drive that awaits.  
  
Upon arriving in Pompeii, you’ll skip the long entrance lines and meet up with an expert, English-speaking guide who has dedicated their life to studying the ancient city. As they walk you through the shops, temples, public baths, and homes that made up the thriving city, they’ll recount the fascinating stories of local life and how it was decimated by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD. You’ll also visit the famous plaster death casts of the unfortunate people caught in the eruption and, if age-appropriate for the group, an ancient brothel. 
   
After Pompeii, it’s back on the minibus for one of the most unforgettable drives of your life down the hairpin turns and panoramic vistas of the Amalfi Coast. It won’t take long for you to see why this is considered Italy’s most scenic drive (although certainly not the easiest to navigate—you’ll be glad you have a professional driver!).  
 
You'll stop in Positano, a pastel-colored resort town perched on the cliffs that has inspired legendary writers such as Shelley, Goethe, and Steinbeck. After an introduction from your guide, with some tips on where to eat lunch and shop, you’ll have a few hours of free time to do as you please before the journey back to Rome.
