Discover two of Italy’s most iconic UNESCO World Heritage Sites on an unforgettable full-day trip from Rome: the ancient ruins of Pompeii and the breathtaking Amalfi Coast. This expertly crafted experience combines archaeological wonders with stunning coastal landscapes, offering the perfect balance of culture and natural beauty.
Your day begins with a comfortable ride in a climate-controlled private coach from central Rome. Skip the long lines upon arrival in Pompeii and join an expert archaeologist for a guided tour through the remarkably preserved streets of this once-thriving Roman city. Walk past ancient shops, public baths, temples, and private homes, while your guide shares stories of daily life in Pompeii before it was buried by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD. You’ll also see the haunting plaster casts of the victims, and, if appropriate for the group, a visit to an ancient brothel.
After the archaeological immersion, enjoy one of the most scenic drives in Italy as you journey along the Amalfi Coast. With dramatic cliffs, turquoise waters, and picturesque villages, this stretch of coastline is world-famous for good reason. Your destination is the charming town of Positano, where you’ll have free time to explore at your leisure—wander the narrow lanes, browse local boutiques, or enjoy lunch with a view.
Please note: during the low season (November through late March), most shops and restaurants in Positano close. During this time, the tour will visit the towns of Amalfi or Sorrento instead. On high-season weekends (May–September), Sorrento may also replace Positano to provide a more comfortable experience.
This day trip from Rome is perfect for those looking to combine ancient history with coastal charm in one remarkable journey.
