Pompeii, Positano and Amalfi Coast Private Day Tour from Rome
Descrizione
This is a fantastic opportunity to get fully immersed in the beauty of the Amalfi Coast and the impresive memory left by the ruins of Pompeii, the wold-famous ancient town that lay buried under the layers of volcanic ash. One of the most picturesque town on the Amalfi Coast, Positano has charmed visitors for decades with its precariously-perched pastel houses and its famous boutiques.

Itinerario
The spectral ruins of ancient Pompeii lead to one of the world's most engrossing archaeological experiences. Much of the site's value lies in the fact that the town wasn't simply blown away by Vesuvius in AD 79 but buried under a layer of lapilli (burning fragments of pumice stone). The result is a remarkably well-preserved slice of ancient life, where visitors can walk down Roman streets and pry around millennial old houses, temples, shops, cafes and amphitheatres. With a private and historian guide, you will be able to visit what is considered to be Europe’s most important archaeological site.
Positano is a true paradise, developed vertically within a tangled overlay of streets, alleys and shops that expose the colorful Positano fashions well-known all around the world. In the town center is the Parish Church of Santa Maria Assunta that shows up with its large dome, tiled in majolica and sheltering some precious works like polychrome marble altars. In front of Le Sirenuse Hotel are four small islands set in the expanse of the blue sea. Positano, means summer fashion. Its boutiques made thousands of dresses in cotton, silk, and linen every summer. Positano creations are always original, colourful, and creative.
Italy's oldest maritime republic and symbol of the Amalfi Coast, Amalfi continues to enchant visitors just as it did in the days of the Grand Tour. Just over three square kilometers of devastatingly beautiful scenery at the mouth of the Valle dei Mulini: this is Amalfi, a town which opens like a fan towards the sea, sheltered from behind by the steep slopes of the Monti Lattari. Amalfi's ancient Roman origins are evident from a number of ruins, including those of a nymphaeum dating back to the reign of Emperor Tiberius. Amalfi is the oldest of Italy's four major Maritime Republics and prospered for a full three centuries under the Normans, Longobards, and even the Saracens. Its decline began in 1137 when it was defeated and pillaged by the rival republic of Pisa.

Luigi was an extremely safe driver and Francesco made all of the correct decisions based on the mobility of my husband and myself
Thank you so much for your kind review, hope to see you again in the future!
We had no idea what to expect in Pompeii but never imagined how much of the city had been restored. Our Pompeii tour guide was so knowledgeable and passionate about his city. He shared insights as former archaeologist — what a treat! Our host, Maria Luisa, was so fun and engaged for a long day. Maria Luisa adjusted to show us places and provide history tidbits to help us understand Roman history. Both she and our driver Flavin were very attentive to our needs from bio breaks to coffee stops. I would highly recommend this tour — ask for Maria Luisa.
Thank you so much for this review, we are so happy you had a pleasant experience with us, hope to see you again sometime!
The Rome Italy Explora Team was extremely helpful in helping us plan our day tour from Rome out to Pompeii and the Amalfi Coast prior our arrival from the United States. The coordination before our pickup was seamless and the pickup was excellent. Francesco was our escort guide for the day and Luigi was our professional chauffeur. They both did a fantastic job making our couples trip truly feel VIP and special. They connected us with a 40 year veteran guide of the archeological site at Pompeii and an amazing lunch reservation after the tour in Pompeii. Please treat yourself to this once in a lifetime experience and feel like royalty for the day with the Explora team. It is worth EVERY penny! We have traveled the world and regularly use guide services, and they are the best we have encountered. We will be back, Francesco, next time for Venice :)! We must have you again.
Thank you for taking your time to write this amazing review for us, means a lot. Francesco will be so honored to be your tour escort on your next trip here in Italy! Thank you so much.
There’s no better way to spend your Birthday!!! The history of Pompei and seeing the ruins is a once in a lifetime experience. Our guide Josefina was extremely knowledgeable and is known as one of the best in the area! Our driver Luigi was very experienced and navigated the traffic very well ensuring a safe trip with over 6-8hours of driving. Our main tour guide Rosanna was very sweet and knowledgeable about the history of Rome and everywhere in between as we made our way to the coast. She arranged a wonderful lunch along the coast in Positano at one of the best restaurants and we shopped in Amalfi collecting many gifts for friends and family from handmade local paintings and ceramics to the infamous LimonCello! We highly recommend this experience and look forward to returning here to create more memories!
When you passionately dedicate time and energy to your work, the results can be seen in the reactions of people like you. Thank you very much for providing us with the energy we need every day.
Traveling with 6 other relatives thought parts of Italy in a guided tour we only had one day for ourselves to do whatever we wanted. Two of our relatives had used their devices in prior trips and recommended booking a day trip with Rossana & Luigi to Pompeii, Sorrento & The Amalfi Coast. They came to pick us up at the hotel in a van where our group fit comfortably. While Luigi drove us cautiously, Rossana keep us interested with lots of historical, cultural & local info as we rode for about 1:20 minutes to our first stop. Long story short we all had a real blast! They were personable, fun, knowledgeable, kept us on schedule and back to Rome safe & elated of such a fun trip! I recommend Rossana as a tour guide for anyone traveling to Italy! Arrivederci!!! 👏🏻🇫🇷
