Your private tour begins with hotel pickup

Meet your driver right outside your Rome accommodation in a private, climate-controlled vehicle to begin the drive south toward Campania.

Drive down the Highway of the Sun

Relax as you travel south along the Autostrada del Sole, passing countryside landscapes, lemon groves, and historic hilltop towns on your way to Pompeii.

Arrive at ancient Pompeii

Bypass the long general admissions lines with timed entry tickets. Meet your private archaeologist guide and enter the world-famous UNESCO World Heritage site, buried by Mt. Vesuvius in 79 A.D.

Explore preserved Roman streets and artifacts

Walk along original stone roads to examine ancient theaters, thermal baths, central forums, and vibrant wall paintings preserved for centuries beneath volcanic ash. Listen to your guide as they pinpoint the details of the civilization left behind.

Drive along the Bay of Naples

After your private tour of Pompeii, rejoin your private driver for a scenic drive further south along winding coastal roads offering views across the Gulf of Naples.

Enjoy free time in Sorrento

Then, arrive in the seaside town of Sorrento. Use free time to wander lemon-scented lanes, shop for local handicrafts, or relax along the waterfront at your own pace.

Dine on regional coastal cuisine

While in Sorrento, take time to sit down at a local trattoria for fresh seafood, handmade pasta, authentic gelato, or a glass of famous local limoncello. While lunch is not included on the tour, your private driver is happy to provide local recommendations.

Return to Rome for the evening

Meet your driver for a comfortable return ride north in your luxury, air-conditioned vehicle. Arrive back at your Rome hotel just in time for your evening dinner plans.
