Make the most of your Rome adventure
What makes Pompeii Tour with Archaeologist & Amalfi Coast Day Trip from Rome a unique experience ?
Meet your tour leader in central Rome and hop aboard a private, air-conditioned bus—the most comfortable way to navigate the jaw-dropping drive that awaits.
Wander the fully preserved streets of Pompeii on a guided tour with an archaeologist who specializes in this ancient city. This thriving port town was frozen in time when it was engulfed by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD. View the death casts of people caught in the eruption and peek into shops, temples, public baths, and maybe even a brothel (if suitable for the group).
After Pompeii, it’s back onto the bus 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!).
Following in the footsteps of literary greats like Shelley, Goethe and Steinbeck, you’ll be free to explore this breathtaking little town on foot, sampling its incredible seafood, browsing the fashionable boutiques, or ordering bespoke, handmade sandals. *Please note: In the low season (November through late March), most of the businesses in Positano town close, making the town rather uneventful to visit. During this time, we will visit the town of Amalfi or Sorrento instead, where you’ll have plenty of options for lunch and shopping. During the weekends in the high season (May-September) we will also visit beautiful Sorrento instead of Positano.
After a full day of exploring two of southern Italy’s greatest gems, you’ll head back onto the bus for a comfortable journey back to Rome.
