Tour description

A Private Journey Through History & Coastal Beauty

Leave the crowds of Rome behind for a once-in-a-lifetime journey through Italy’s most breathtaking landscapes. This Private Pompeii & Amalfi Coast Day Tour from Rome takes you from the Eternal City to two unforgettable destinations with a private driver and archaeologist Pompeii guide—all arranged just for you.

Step Back in Time in Pompeii

Arriving in Pompeii, you’ll step into a frozen moment in history—a city buried by volcanic ash in 79 AD. Your 2-hour tour includes a private guide who's an expert archaeologist to explore the ancient streets, villas, and bathhouses. As you walk the ancient streets, you'll hear stories of daily life before disaster struck. From perfectly preserved frescoes to haunting plaster casts, this is one of the most immersive archaeological experiences in the world.

Coastal Beauty Like No Other: The Amalfi Coast

Next, your journey takes you along the legendary Amalfi Coast, where cliffs plunge into the glittering Mediterranean. As your private driver navigates the winding roads, you’ll pass sun-drenched villages, cascading lemon groves, and stunning panoramic views—a picture-perfect stretch of coastline that has inspired travelers for centuries.

Discover Charming Positano or Sorrento

You'll have the chance to explore one of the Amalfi Coast’s most stunning towns. From April through October, you'll explore the pastel-colored houses and cliffs of Positano. While tours from November through March, you'll visit Sorrento, considered the gateway to the Amalfi Coast and famous for its sweeping Bay of Naples views, lemon groves, and relaxed coastal vibe. Whether you stroll the charming streets, sip espresso at a seaside café, or browse local shops for handmade goods, this stop will be a true taste of la dolce vita.

Please contact the Walks of Italy Guest Experience team if you wish to spend the afternoon in a different Amalfi Coast town, such as Amalfi or Ravello.

This isn’t just a day trip, it’s a seamless, luxurious experience crafted by Walks of Italy’s travel experts. With your own driver, a local guide in Pompeii and free time on the Amalfi Coast, you can relax, take in the views, and truly enjoy these incredible destinations without the stress of logistics.

Elyse Private tour

A wonderful and well paced day trip out of Rome. It is worth the time on the bus and early start. Cosmo was a lovely guide who shared so many interesting facts with us. Paulo's tour of Pompei was fantastic, he was conscious of the heat and planned ahead to ensure we saw major sites with the least crowds. Nice to have free time in Positano. Lastly, the driver did a great job navigating along the Amalfi coast. We felt very safe. Thank you!

Chiara was our tour guide and was very nice, friendly, and welcoming. Vincenzo, our guide in Pompeii, was extremely knowledgeable about the history and brought the ancient site to life with his explanations. We really enjoyed the tour and would highly recommend it.

Very nice small semi-private tour of 15 for Positano on the Amalfi Coast and Pompeii. Van was clean, comfortable, and well airconditioned for the hot humid weather. Chiara was a very knowledgeable tour leader.
