End your day with free time in Positano for shopping, dining, and soaking in the Mediterranean charm. Enjoy comfort and convenience with seamless private transport, an expert guide, and unforgettable sights, all within a full-day adventure.
Please arrive 15 minutes prior to the start of your tour, your guide will be holding a green Walks sign. This tour meets at Piazzale Flaminio, 15, 00196 Roma RM, in front of the McDonald's Restaurant on the corner of the square.
Your adventure begins 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.
Your adventure begins with early entry into the ancient ruins of Pompeii. You’ll have the unique opportunity to explore this once-thriving Roman city, perfectly preserved by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD, without the crowds for a more peaceful experience. With an expert archaeologist as your guide, you and small group of maximum 18 people will walk the same streets that Romans once did, peeking into shops, temples, and even a brothel—each frozen in time. You'll also see the House of the Vetti, an incredibly preserved house recently reopened after years of restoration.
After your Pompeii adventure, you’ll hop back on the bus for 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.
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.
After an unforgettable day of history, beauty, and relaxation, you’ll board for a relaxing journey back to Rome. Reflect on the stunning sights of Pompeii, the Amalfi Coast, and Sorrento, all while relaxing in comfort as your guide ensures your smooth return to the city.
