Description
Explore Pompeii in Italy’s beautiful Campania region on this full-day tour from Rome! Pompeii’s UNESCO-listed archeological site is a can’t-miss, with its awe-inspiring monuments and fossils that for centuries had remained hidden under Mount Vesuvius’ volcanic ash. You’ll see all the highlights on an in-depth tour with a local English-speaking guide. We’ll then head to the coast to discover one of the Amalfi Coast’s prettiest towns! You’ll get to customize the tour to pick either Sorrento, Amalfi, or Positano.
Your driver will pick you up from your Rome accommodation. We will then travel south towards Pompeii, the once prosperous Roman city that met its fate in October 79AD, when Mt. Vesuvius erupted and the entire surrounding area and population were engulfed with burning pyroclastic flow and covered in ash.
You will see moments of terror frozen in time and ruins unchanged from almost two millennia ago. Your expert archeologist guide walks you down the long and ancient streets, where perfectly conserved ancient bakeries, shops, stalls, private and communal residences, public baths and brothels remain. See plaster casts of the unfortunate Pompeiians who were immortalized on that tragic day. Upon conclusion of the guided tour in Pompeii, you’ll enjoy a short rest while your driver takes you in comfort to your next destination.
Sorrento is an exceptionally beautiful town known as the “Gateway to the Amalfi Coast,” positioned high above the water. In Sorrento, you’ll enjoy once-in-a-lifetime views of the Tyrrhenian Sea and picture-perfect towns nestled into steep white limestone cliffs. Along the way, your driver will recommend a stop for lunch at one of the wonderful local pizzerias in the birthplace of true Italian pizza.
After exploring Sorrento, your driver will escort you to your accommodation in Positano.

Accommodation in Positano | Deluxe Double Room with Sea View
Positano is what many call the jewel of the Amalfi Coast. This postcard-perfect town with its spectacular coastline of colorful homes built into a dramatic cliff is as stunning in person as you’ve seen immortalized in photos.
Gorgeously situated on a cliff overlooking one of the worlds’ most romantic sea views.
This hotel is one of Positano’s historical and traditional hotels in town.
The hotel is an important page of Positano’s tourist history, built in the 30’s by the eccentric and charismatic Carlino Cinque. His grandchildren successfully manage this exquisite hotel characterized by a variety of beauties.
It all started in the’30s, by Carlino Cinque, who rented one house to the many tourists with the hope of turning it into a hotel. He then realized the true potentials of the business and began to rent several nearby houses.The original family still preserve the hotel soul.
Many aristocratic families coming from Naples stayed at Carlino’s, then foreigners came too.
During the war, the hotel was converted into a rest facility for allied officers who built the reputation of the property. Initially Carlino, Carmela and Vito, and today their heirs, the Attanasio brothers and their children host an international clientele who they rather consider guests and friends.
