This Private Pompeii & Amalfi Coast Day Tour from Rome takes you from the Eternal City to two unforgettable destinations, with a private driver, expert guide, and stress-free transport—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. If you select the 6:15am departure, your tour includes early entrance to experience Pompeii at its quietest before the crowds. With your private guide, explore the ancient streets, villas, and bathhouses, hearing stories of daily life before disaster struck. This includes the Villa of Mysteries, one of the city's richest homes known for its stunning frescoes that scholars are still debating today (6:30am tour only). 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 Sorrento
You'll have the chance to explore one of the Amalfi Coast’s most stunning towns. Sorrento is the gateway to the Amalfi Coast, 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.
