Pompeii & Amalfi Coast: Private Day Trip From Rome

Your driver will collect you from your Rome accommodation. Once seated comfortably, we travel south towards Pompeii, the once prosperous Roman city that met its fate in October 79AD, when Mt. Vesuvius erupted and the entire surrounding area and population were engulfed with burning pyroclastic flow and covered in ash.

You will see moments of terror frozen in time, death postures and ruins unchanged from almost two millennia ago. Your expert archeologist guide walks you down the long and ancient streets, where perfectly conserved ancient bakeries, shops, stalls, private and communal residences, public baths and brothels remain. See plaster casts of the unfortunate Pompeiians who were immortalized on that tragic day.

Upon conclusion of the guided tour in Pompeii, enjoy a short rest while your driver makes the journey along the Sorrentine Peninsula. 

Sorrento is an exceptionally beautiful town known as the “Gateway to the Amalfi Coast,” positioned high above the water. In Sorrento you’ll enjoy once-in-a-lifetime views of the Tyrrhenian Sea and picture-perfect towns nestled into steep white limestone cliffs. Along the way, your driver will recommend a stop for lunch at one of the wonderful local pizzerias in the birthplace of true Italian pizza.

After free time in Sorrento, join your driver once again for the return trip to Rome.
