Amalfi Coast & Pompeii Day Trip from Rome

Why Take This Tour?

Southern Italy deserves more than a snapshot, and this curated day trip from Rome ensures you don’t just see it, you feel it. Alongside your expert archaeologist guide, you’ll explore ancient streets in more depth than the larger tour companies. Then it’s off to the Amalfi Coast, where sunlit cliffs, salt-laced air, and pastel towns offer a dose of la dolce vita. If you only have one day to experience southern Italy make it this one.

Step Into the Past at Pompeii

Few places send shivers up your spine like Pompeii, the thriving ancient Roman city frozen in time by the volcanic eruption of 79 AD. Twenty feet of volcanic ash preserved Pompeii’s buildings, streets, mosaics, and frescoes for centuries, making it a site unlike any other in Italy: it’s a complete ancient city you can explore just as it was 2,000 years ago!

Trade Ruins for Amalfi Coast Magic

After time-traveling in Pompeii, your journey winds along the world-famous Amalfi Coast. Revel in the stunning views and exciting twists and turns of this panoramic drive straight to Positano. Your group of max 18 people fit comfortably in a private mini bus, which means you won't waste time stopping to switch to a smaller vehicle like the larger tour groups.

A pastel resort town perched on the cliffs, Positano is world-renowned for its romance and elegance, and you'll have plenty of free time to explore it on your own. Follow in the footsteps of Shelley, Goethe, Steinbeck, and the town’s myriad other famous visitors as you climb winding staircases and explore narrow streets. Peek into upscale boutiques, order custom-made sandals from a local artisan, cool off with a dip in the clear waters (bring your swimsuit!), or relax over a fresh seafood lunch—all surrounded by some of the most picturesque and idyllic views you’ll ever see.

Every Detail, Handled

From the first warm welcome in Rome to your smooth return in time for dinner, everything is taken care of. Private bus, express entry into Pompeii, world-class guides, and zero guesswork. You just show up and let us take care of the rest.

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.

IMPORTANT: The full names of all participants must be provided at the time of booking and match the names on their ID/passport. Name changes are not permitted. All guests (including children) must bring a government-issued ID/passport on the day of their tour. Failure to bring an ID may result in security staff denying entrance to the monument.

The order of the itinerary may be reversed, with some tours visiting the Amalfi Coast in the morning and Pompeii in the afternoon. No matter where you go first, you'll still enjoy a relaxing and seamless day trip.
