Spend a full day exploring the little coastal towns and UNESCO World Heritage Sites along the renowned "Amalfi Drive", the most spectacular coastal drive in the world. Your driver will pick you up from your hotel in Sorrento and make you discover two highlights of the area: the impressive Roman ruins of Pompeii and Positano, one of the pearls of the Amalfi Coast.

In 79 AD, Pompeii was completely buried by the enormous eruption of Mount Vesuvius. Today, it is one of the most famous and most visited archaeological sites in the world. Spend more than two hours with a certified guide who will show you the main public monuments and some of the private homes preserved in this extraordinary open-air museum.

After the tour of Pompeii, you'll reach Positano through a scenic road. Here you'll have some free time to visit this charming seaside resort at your leisure and have lunch (not included). Explore at your own pace the picturesque narrow streets covered by bougainvillea flowers and experience firsthand the profound artistic inspiration that characterizes this lovely town.

    Travelled with a group of friends


    Very knowledgeable tour guide around Pompeii, extremely pleasant and helpful driver. Tour of Pompeii was excellent, but the end was very rushed with no time to see the museum, buy souvenirs or even use the facilities. Time in Positano was very limited, with just enough time to have lunch. If the tour was extended 1-2 hours we feel it would be a more satisfying experience.

Naples highlights bus and walking tour with coffee and pastry

From coastal views to centuries-old streets, this Naples tour packs a full day of culture and discovery. Departing from Sorrento, you'll kick things off with a scenic bus ride through the hills as your guide spins tales of Greek mythology and local legends. As local guide Luca puts it, “Naples doesn't just tell its story – it sings it through every piazza, pastry and palace.”The first stop is Mergellina, a breezy seaside district where you'll pause for a proper Neapolitan coffee and a warm sfogliatella – a crisp, shell-shaped pastry filled with ricotta that locals love. Then, it's on to the heart of Naples for a walking tour full of the main architectural highlights. You'll start with a stroll through Piazza Plebiscito, the city's largest and most iconic square. Next up is the Royal Palace, where 19th-century Bourbon kings once lived in serious style. You'll also pop into the Church of San Francesco di Paola, known for its grand design inspired by Rome's Pantheon. From here, it's a short walk to Galleria Umberto I – a 19th-century shopping arcade topped with a glass dome – before checking out the legendary Teatro San Carlo, the oldest continuously active opera house in Europe.The final stretch dives into the city's creative pulse. At Via Toledo Metro Station, contemporary art transforms public transport into a gallery. Then, it's on to Spaccanapoli, the narrow street slicing through the historic centre, buzzing with churches, palaces and the unmistakable rhythm of Neapolitan life.
