Know before you go

This tour is in English.

This is a walking tour. Guests should be able to walk at a moderate pace without difficulty.

The tour meeting time is 15 minutes prior to the start time. No refunds or re-bookings can be provided for late arrivals or no-shows.

Your guide will provide lunch recommendations once you reach the Amalfi coast for lunch on your own (not included in the tour price).

The town you visit will depend on the season and weather - Positano, Amalfi (town), or Sorrento.

Luggage and/or strollers are not allowed on this tour as there is no extra storage space on the vehicle.

If you are traveling with a young child and need a car seat, please contact our Guest Experience department prior to your tour.

We encourage a swim on the beach in Positano during your free time should the weather be nice. If you are so inclined, please bring a bathing suit and towel.

Should any part of this tour be closed, we may need to make modifications to the itinerary.

Tips/gratuities (for your guide) are always appreciated.

Walks comply with all local government regulations. You may need to wear a mask or provide proof of vaccination to enter certain venues. Please refer to Italy government guidelines for the most up to date information

During low season (November - March) most businesses including restaurants in Positano close, making the town a rather dull visit. During this time, we visit the town of Amalfi or Sorrento where ample choices for lunch and shopping abound.

Overview

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.
