Itinerary
Escape the hustle and bustle of Rome and set off on an unforgettable journey to Pompeii and Positano, two of southern Italy's most iconic destinations. Relax aboard a comfortable, air-conditioned coach as you travel through the Italian countryside toward the Bay of Naples. This carefully curated day trip combines ancient history, spectacular coastal scenery, and the timeless charm of southern Italy.
Break up the journey south with a short stop in Cassino, giving you time to stretch your legs, grab a coffee, pick up snacks, or use the facilities before continuing toward Pompeii.
Enjoy skip-the-line access and bypass the crowds as you step into the ancient world of Pompeii. Follow your expert guide through remarkably preserved streets, villas, bathhouses, bakeries, theaters, and bustling marketplaces, all frozen in time by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius. With fascinating stories and expert commentary, discover the daily lives of the people who once called Pompeii home and uncover the secrets of this extraordinary UNESCO World Heritage Site, one of the world's most remarkable archaeological treasures.
After leaving Pompeii behind, continue south along one of the world's most spectacular coastal roads. Take in sweeping views of the Amalfi Coast, where dramatic cliffs plunge into turquoise waters and colorful villages cling to the mountainsides. Celebrated around the world for its natural beauty, elegant charm, and unmistakable la dolce vita atmosphere, this legendary stretch of coastline is one of Italy's most iconic landscapes.
Arrive in Positano, the jewel of the Amalfi Coast, where pastel-colored homes cascade down the cliffs toward the sparkling Mediterranean. Tucked away along Italy's most famous coastline, this iconic village can be difficult to reach by public transportation, making this day trip the perfect way to experience its beauty without the stress of planning. Enjoy two hours of free time to wander through charming streets lined with boutiques, browse local shops for unique souvenirs, relax on the beach, or stop for a gelato with unforgettable sea views. Whether you choose to sip limoncello at a waterfront café, explore hidden corners of the village, or simply soak up the postcard-perfect scenery, Positano offers the perfect taste of la dolce vita and the timeless charm of southern Italy.
As the sun begins to set, rejoin your comfortable, air-conditioned coach and enjoy one last look at the breathtaking Amalfi coastline as you begin the journey back to Rome.
Enjoy a short stop to stretch your legs, grab a coffee, or pick up snacks before settling in for the final leg of the journey back to Rome.
Relax on your journey back to Rome after a memorable day discovering the ancient wonders of Pompeii and the breathtaking beauty of the Amalfi Coast. Estimated arrival in central Rome: approximately 8:30 PM (traffic conditions permitting).

Great value! Very long day but everything was well coordinated and the staff was very friendly. There was an unfortunate road closure on our route but the guides were very adaptable and still made it a 10/10 experience.
This trip was very interesting. Far from boring. Our tour guide Michela was very knowledgable about the route and what to expect there. She was also very organized allowing us to get the most out of our trip. I was especially looking forward to the Pompeii portion of the trip and i was not disappointed. I really enjoy the trip and will encourage my friends to take this trip.
The lunch restaurant was very unclean. Also, the limoncello 'factory visit' was just a retail store with no actual inside look at production.
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We're sorry to hear that parts of the experience did not meet your expectations. Your comments regarding the lunch venue and the limoncello stop have been noted and will be shared with our team and local partners as we continually review and improve our tours. We appreciate you taking the time to let us know.
This tour was very good I do recommend to go see Pompei and spend the afternoon in Positano. The tour took care of us very well and the guides were warm and welcoming.
Alessandro was the best host and the whole trip was fabulous 👌 highly recommend 👌
We loved the trip, what we visited, the beautiful landscapes, the guide knows a lot and explained everything we were seeing along the way, very patient.
Our driver, Enrico, and guide Valentina were absolutely amazing! Enrico is a true Gladiator on the roads and Valentina is so knowledgeable and considerate. The shuttle to get back to the bus was rough, as these are subcontractors probably and didn’t put the AC on. Overall, the trip was fast but so worth it. Hard to believe that many hours can be over in a blink but we loved it! Definitely the more affordable way of exploring this was from Rome!
It is a great trip, but if it were possible a little longer in Positano would be nice. Our guide Veronica was excellent and so was the guide in Pompeii.
Great tour guide- very energetic and knowledgeable. Positano was lovely. Pompei guide was also great.
This was two good places to visit, I think in the future I wouldn’t do them in one day but over time. It’s a long time on a bus, and unfortunately others bringing small crying children can make for a very long day on a bus along with those who don’t adhere to times set by the tour guide. Our pompei tour guide was fantastic though, what a place to visit!
