Pompeii Tour & Amalfi Coast Day Trip from Rome
About this activity
Full description
Stop At: Rome
Description: Your adventure begins with a warm welcome in central Rome, where you'll meet your tour leader and board a private, air-conditioned bus. As you settle in for the scenic drive, sit back and relax—your guide and driver will handle all the details as you journey toward the ruins of Pompeii.
Admission: Included
Duration: 3 hours 30 minutes
Stop At: Pompeii Archaeological Park
Description: Arriving at Pompeii, you'll meet your expert archaeologist guide for an in-depth tour of the ancient ruins. You and your small group of 18 people maximum will explore this once-thriving Roman city, perfectly preserved by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD. You’ll walk the same streets that Romans once did in silence before the daytime crowds arrive, peeking into shops, temples, and even a brothel—each frozen in time.
Admission: Included
Duration: 3 hours
Stop At: Amalfi Coast
Description: The second part of your day trip includes a scenic drive along the Amalfi Coast, widely regarded as one of the world’s most spectacular stretches of coastline, straight to Positano (tours from April through October). As a small group traveling by private mini bus, you'll save time compared to larger tour groups that need to switch to smaller vehicles to traverse the road. The views of cliffside towns, turquoise waters, and lush hillsides are beyond compare. Please note: The order of the itinerary may be reversed, with some tours visiting the Amalfi Coast in the morning and Pompeii in the afternoon. No matter where you go first, you'll still enjoy a relaxing and seamless day trip.
Admission: Included
Duration: 1 hour
Stop At: Positano
Description: Explore the 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. Please note: In the low season (November through March), most of the businesses in Positano town close, making the town rather uneventful to visit. During this time, we will visit Sorrento instead, where you'll have plenty of options for lunch and shopping.
Admission: Free
Duration: 2 hours
Stop At: Rome
Description: After an unforgettable day of history, beauty, and relaxation, you’ll board the bus for the journey back to Rome. Reflect on the stunning sights of Pompeii, the Amalfi Coast, and Positano, all while relaxing in comfort as your guide ensures your smooth return to Rome.
