DAY TRIP FROM ROME TO POMPEII AND AMALFI COAST

A driver with a new comfortable minivan will wait for you directly at your hotel in Rome and take you to Pompeii and the Amalfi Coast in a memorable day trip.

Explore the city of Pompeii and the still-active Volcano Vesuvius with an private expert English-speaking guide who will help you make the most of your time here. You’ll see the most fascinating sites of the city, from plaster death casts to Pompeii’s fast food joints and streets cut out by carriage wheels 2,000 years ago. You will see the theater, the forum, the pleasure houses, the thermal baths, the mills, the gladiators' barracks and much more.

Visiting on a day trip, it’s impossible to walk all of Pompeii, but our carefully-planned route means you’ll see the best of it, with representations of every building type visited for a completely rounded view.

After your Pompeii experience we’ll take a short break for coffee and perusing the wares of local vendors and artisans. Next we head towards Sorrento and Positano overlooking the intensely indigo waters of the Bay of Naples. A quick stop at the most picturesque precipice for a postcard-worthy photo opp and on to the seaside city.

As the preferred vacation spot of Roman Emperors and Italy’s most elite, Sorrento is as rich in beauty as it is in history. Enjoy the town of the oranges and lemons. You will have free time to explore the maze of colorful lively roads, feel traditional flavors, taste local food, gelato and other unique specialties such as the famous Limoncello.  

Back on the minivan and you will head toward Positano going by Italy's most beguiling seacoast, stopping here and there to take stunning pictures of bewildering panoramas. You will likewise visit the town of Positano, that is the gem of the peninsula. 

White fishermen houses overlooking the blue water, charming alleyways with ceramics and summer clothing shops, the scent of the fruit trees blended with the ocean breeze: Positano will touch your heart!  

You head back to Rome in the late afternoon and remember the stunning minutes spend in Pompeii and Amalfi Coast forever!
