It’s time to soak up a bit of sun on your Private Pompeii & Amalfi Coast Day Tour. Your driver will now escort you to a coastal restaurant where you are given the opportunity to enjoy lunch with a view over the picture-perfect Coast line (lunch not included in price of tour).

Leisure over a delicious Southern Italian meal and feel the soft Mediterranean breeze as you ready yourself for a decadent afternoon driving through the infamous winding roads of the Amalfi Coast. It is said, even among Italians themselves, that some of the best cuisine of the country comes from southern Italy. The pizza and pasta are unrivaled in this part of the country, and eating in a coastal town turns lunch into an Italian experience!

Stop 3

Once you have gotten to know your tour guide and expressed your areas of interest in order to make it a truly personalized tour, you can go straight into the ruins of Pompeii with skip-the-line-access. Learn about this once ancient Roman port city that was originally conquered in 80 B.C. and devastated just under a century later. Hear tales about the daily lives of the residents of Pompeii – their jobs, how they entertained, what they did in their free time and what type of people they were.
The 79 A.D. eruption of Mt. Vesuvius caused the entire city to be buried under ash. This left Pompeii perfectly preserved in time until the rediscovery of the site in 1599!
See some of the prestigious mosaics from the House of Vetti and other exclusive houses of ancient Roman merchants and upper class. Visit the incredible public bath houses and marvel over advanced engineering such as the central heating and elaborate sewer systes, that paved the way for modern engineering feats.

After a delicious lunch, your driver will take you to the famed Amalfi Coast! You may have heard about the Amalfi Coast beachwinding roads along this cliff-side town which leave all travelers in awe of just how so much beauty can be carved out of nature. Now it is your turn to experience it! Spend an afternoon in Positano, one of the most beautiful towns on the Amalfi Coast, or in Sorrento, a town overlooking the Bay of Naples. You choose which one you'd like to go to!
Make lifetime memories as you wander along the quaint streets down towards the Mediterranean sea. You may choose to catch up on some shopping – Positano is filled with shops selling handmade sandals, ceramics and even one-of-a kind perfumes and fragrances.
Or try a traditional limoncello in Sorrento, made with fresh Amalfi lemons. We can assure you that you have never seen lemons this big before! There is no better place to try this Italian drink than in its hometown.
