About this experience

Pick up will be right in front of your accommodation in Rome. A relaxing drive in the countryside between Lazio and Campania will take you to your first stop for the day: Pompeii.

Nothing compares to the magic and mystery of Pompeii. You view the seemingly tranquil Mt. Vesuvius and then walk among the remarkably preserved remains of a city buried underneath 30 feet of ash during its violent eruption. A bakery, theatre, gymnasium, and public bath all stand sentinels to a time and lifestyle literally sucked breathless in a split second then entombed for a thousand years.

Then it will be time to move to Positano. Shopping, photography and simply strolling the coast completes the agenda at this seaside stop. Another roll of film and another bag of souvenirs marks the end of your visit here. You then skirt the sea back to Rome along the coast of Amalfi.
