What to expect

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.

Herculaneum and Vesuvius Skip-the-line Tour with Local Lunch

Wandering around the archaeological site of Herculaneum is just like stepping through an open-air history book. On this skip-the-line tour, you'll visit what remains of this once-thriving seaside town as well as see Mt Vesuvius – the architect of its destruction. Andrea, one of our local experts, says, 'Unlike Pompeii, Herculaneum's deeper burial under volcanic mud resulted in an astounding level of preservation. It's a quieter, more intimate experience'.After Vesuvius's dramatic 79 AD eruption, Herculaneum became a town frozen in time. Now resurrected from its volcanic slumber, this UNESCO World Heritage Site is brimming with stories untold. On a guided tour with trusty headsets, you'll see the haunting boathouses – the sombre final chapters of desperate refugees – and the town's beautifully preserved marble floors, mosaics, and vibrant frescoes. Andrea says, 'Like many Roman towns, Herculaneum had a complex of public baths, which were a hub of daily life. These baths are particularly well-preserved and showcase the complex heating systems and detailed mosaics that adorned their walls and floors'.You'll then head up the mighty Mount Vesuvius – the only active volcano in mainland Europe. With its eye-catching panoramic views over the Mediterranean Sea and Naples, it's well worth the trip. To make your experience even more memorable, entrance fees and skip-the-line tickets are covered for you, ensuring you don't have to queue under the warm, Italian sun. What's more, you'll get to tuck into a traditional lunch, ideal to wrap up your trip.
