Detailed itinerary

Stop 1

Enter the haunting remains of Pompeii, one of the world’s most captivating archaeological wonders. Frozen in time by the sudden eruption of Mount Vesuvius, the city reveals a vivid glimpse into daily Roman life. With an expert archaeologist or historian guiding your steps, you’ll explore cobbled streets, temples, public baths, bakeries, and private homes—many still bearing frescoes, mosaics, and even household items. As you walk through this UNESCO World Heritage Site, you can almost hear the echoes of footsteps and conversations from two millennia ago.

From Pompeii, your journey transitions into a visual feast as the road winds along the legendary Amalfi Coast. This UNESCO-listed stretch of coastline is celebrated for its soaring cliffs, turquoise waters, lemon groves, and stacked pastel-colored villages. From your seat, enjoy panoramic views of cascading terraces and tiny fishing harbors below. Your guide will highlight points of interest along the way, from ancient watchtowers to stories of seafarers and saints. This scenic drive is not just a passage—it’s a destination in itself.

Arrive in the elegant coastal town of Sorrento, perched above the Bay of Naples. Known for its dramatic sea cliffs, sun-washed architecture, and lemon-scented air, Sorrento blends history with modern charm. You’ll have two hours of free time to explore this vibrant town at your own pace. Wander its narrow streets lined with artisan shops, sample local specialties like gnocchi alla sorrentina or limoncello, or take in views of Mount Vesuvius across the bay. Whether relaxing in a sunlit piazza or shopping for handmade goods, Sorrento offers a delightful blend of leisure and beauty.
