Scenic drive along the Autostrada del Sole

The road trip begins as you speed along the Autostrada del Sole, literally the Highway of the Sun, heading south toward the Amalfi Coast. Watch the landscape transform as picturesque countryside rolls by, dotted with bright lemon orchards and historic Italian villages.

Free time to explore Positano

Next, you arrive at the famously photogenic town of Positano, where pastel-colored houses seem to tumble down the steep cliffs toward the turquoise water. Your tour leader offers insider tips on the best ways to spend your free time here.

You’ll walk through the incredibly preserved streets, homes, and public spaces, which reveal fascinating secrets about Roman civilization almost two millennia ago. Your archaeologist guide brings the once-thriving city back to life with stories and insights.

Your tour finishes at Piazzale Flaminio

After a full day filled with the beauty of the Amalfi Coast and the history of ancient Rome, you’ll relax on the return journey to Rome. You’ll be dropped off at the original meeting point at Piazzale Flaminio in the evening.
