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.

Excellent tour! Enrica was a great guide for the Amalfi Coast and our Pompeii guide was very good as well. Positano is very beautiful but extremely crowded during the summer; I went in October and it was packed, and apparently that was the quiet season compared to June-August. Get a lemon slushie in Positano; if you’re hungry grab a bite but I wouldn’t necessarily describe the restaurants as being much more than a nice view compared to what you’ll get in urban centers like Rome. Pompeii is a must-visit for anyone who enjoys the feeling of experiencing history.

Tour to Positano and Pompeii from Rome. First, the two locations exceeded expectations! Very glad we opted to go on this adventure! Cosimo was outstanding! Took care of our group (of 8), provided great commentary along the way and was a great teacher for helping us learn about the area and culture. Iliana who led the Pompeii expedition was exceptional! Passionate about Pompeii, the history along with past, current and future archaeological work at the site. We were mesmerized by her depth of knowledge and her ability to share it all with us! 5 plus stars all the way around!

Cosimo was the perfect guide for our day from Rome to the Amalfi Coast and Pompeii. He was so caring, polite and professional. He connected with each of us to ensure our needs were met. He was professional and shared information in an engaging manner. He cared that we had the experience we were looking for and delivered well. So glad he was our guide. The Pompeii tour was guided by Illiani, a professional archeologist and tour guide. She did a perfect job at showing us the very best and most interesting parts of Pompeii. She made the event of October, 79 AD come to life. All in all you need to take this journey. It was the very best!

One of the best experiences I booked in Italy. Transportation was incredibly easy, we had enough time for a quick lunch and shopping in Positano, and Pompeii was absolutely incredible. I could honestly go back and visit Pompeii several more times, our guide was so enthusiastic about the history that it made the experience incredible.
