Itinerary
Your private tour begins at your hotel
Your dedicated guide will meet you directly at your hotel. After a quick hello and introduction, board a private van and settle in for the scenic journey south.
Drive along the Autostrada del Sole
As your driver navigates the Autostrada del Sole, you'll watch the Roman cityscape give way to rolling countryside. Bright lemon groves and hilltop villages dot the landscape as you speed toward the coast.
Take free time in Positano
Arrive at the famously photogenic town of Positano, where pastel-colored houses tumble down steep cliffs toward the turquoise water. Your tour leader offers insider tips on the best ways to spend your free time here. Wander the narrow, winding streets, browse the chic little boutiques, or sip limoncello by the sea.
Transfer to Pompeii by private vehicle
Sit back and enjoy the views as you travel inland toward Mount Vesuvius and the ancient ruins of Pompeii, arrive refreshed and ready to explore.
Use pre-reserved tickets at Pompeii Archaeological Park
Soon, you’ll arrive in Pompeii, the Roman city that Vesuvius buried in 79 AD. Use your timed entry tickets to walk straight through security with your archaeologist guide, who's ready to bring this UNESCO site to life just for you.
Enjoy a guided tour of ancient Pompeii ruins
Your archaeologist leads you through stone streets, past frescoed homes, and into public baths that haven't changed in millennia. Hear stories about the bakers, merchants, and families who lived here before the volcano erupted, freezing their world in ash.
Your private tour finishes at your hotel
After a day packed with coastal beauty and ancient history, relax in your private van for the drive back. Your driver drops you straight back at your hotel, leaving you with a camera full of photos and stories you'll tell for years.
