Description
This 2-day tour from Rome takes you deep into southern Italy with a guided walk through Pompeii, a winery lunch on the slopes of Mount Vesuvius, and a sunset cruise along the Amalfi Coast. On day two, visit a cliffside lemon farm, explore seaside villages like Atrani and Cetara, and enjoy local tastings before heading back to Rome. Travel by private van and boat, stay overnight in a 4-star hotel, and explore Positano, Amalfi, and more. With a local tour leader accompanying you and a small group of 10 or fewer, this experience explores southern Italy in depth without feeling rushed.
Over two unforgettable days, journey from ancient Pompeii to the lemon-scented cliffs of the Amalfi Coast, blending history, food, and sweeping views into one seamless escape from Rome. With private transport, a dedicated tour leader, and a small group of maximum 10 people, you'll enjoy the Amalfi Coast the way few people see it with time to really savor every moment.
After leaving Rome on a private minibus, your adventure begins in Pompeii, where an archaeologist brings the ruins to life during a guided walk through homes, bakeries, and temples. Pompeii is an active archaeological site where new discoveries are made every year. Your guide will take you to new and ongoing excavations on their comprehensive tour of the ancient city. Next, you’ll head to a family-run winery on the slopes of Mount Vesuvius for a leisurely vineyard tour and three-course lunch paired with local wines.
By late afternoon, arrive in Positano at its most magical: golden hour. By now, most of the crowds have left for the day, allowing you to wander the cliffside streets or explore boutiques in peace. Then, board a private boat for a sunset cruise along the coast. After dinner, continue to your 4-star hotel in Sorrento for a restful night.
Day 2 takes you by boat to Amalfi, where you’ll visit a family-run lemon farm overlooking the sea. Taste fresh limoncello and learn about time-honoured cultivation methods. You'll have free time in Amalfi to get lunch, go shopping or go for a swim. If you wish, it's a scenic 15-minute walk to nearby Atrani, Italy’s smallest village and full of medieval charm.
Then, board your next boat of the day to Cetara, a working fishing village famous for its anchovies, tuna, and the ancient Roman-style anchovy essence known as "colatura di alici." End your day on the Amalfi Coast with a local aperitivo as the sun begins to set. You'll return to Rome by private minibus, arriving in the Italian capital in the early evening. This 2-day tour from Rome combines a relaxed pace with authentic experiences that reveal the true magic of southern Italy and the Amalfi Coast without the stress of planning a thing.
