About this tour
A 10-hour loop from Naples or Salerno that hits the Amalfi Coast's three showpiece towns before heading inland to the ruins of Pompeii. You'll spend an hour wandering each of Amalfi, Positano and Sorrento, then two hours exploring the archaeological site on your own time. Air-conditioned vehicle, English-speaking driver, and water provided. Plan on hiring a private guide at Pompeii to make sense of what you're seeing.
Highlights
- Amalfi's 11th-century Cathedral with gilded interior
- Positano's steep pastel village and artisan ceramics
- Sorrento's clifftop views across the Bay of Naples
- Two unguided hours at Pompeii's preserved Roman streets
- Hotel or port pickup in Naples or Salerno
What to expect
Expect a long day of driving with four stops, each giving you freedom to move at your own pace. Amalfi and Positano are postcard-pretty but crowded; Sorrento offers breathing room and genuine coastal charm. The drive to Pompeii takes roughly an hour, leaving you 120 minutes to walk the ancient site. Without a guide, you'll see the shells of homes, mosaics, and forums but miss deeper context—worth the extra spend to hire someone on-site. Bring comfortable shoes and sun protection.
Good to know
Pompeii entrance tickets aren't included and must be booked separately; a private archaeological guide is not part of the service but strongly recommended. Meals aren't provided—budget €35–55 for lunch. The tour is physically demanding: moderate fitness required, not suitable for pregnant travellers or those with spinal or heart conditions.
