Begin your private Amalfi Coast tour from Rome with a pick-up directly from your hotel. Your chauffeur will take you down to southern Italy in a luxury car to the picturesque coastal paradise of Positano—one of the most iconic towns on the Amalfi coast. As you near Positano, look out the windows and across the winding roads to admire the views of cliff-side towns that have left travelers in awe for centuries.
Positano is a picture-perfect town filled with shops selling handmade sandals, ceramics, and even one-of-a-kind perfumes and fragrances. Make unforgettable memories as you wander along the charming streets offering seaside views; stop and taste limoncello—the local renowned lemon-infused liquor made with lemons grown in the hills nearby; eat some fresh fish at one of the many seaside restaurants; and gaze out into the magnificent deep blue waters of the Mediterranean Sea.
After wandering through this seaside town, your private chauffeur will pick you up and take you to one of the world’s most famous and well-preserved archaeological ruins—Pompeii. Upon arriving do not hesitate to tell your expert guide your interests so they can truly customize this experience for you. Enjoy priority access to the ruins allowing you to make the most of your day.
Your private guide will transport you back in time as they explain the history of this once-active ancient Roman port city. Conquered in 80 BC, it faced devastation nearly a century later in 79 AD when Mt Vesuvius erupted, burying the city in ash. Untouched until 1599, excavations began, and it remains an active excavation site today.
Your guide will highlight the prestigious mosaics found in the House of Vetti and other exclusive residences of the rich and famous, where you can admire its advanced engineering. Details like central heating show us how advanced the Romans were, not to mention how much it must have improved the daily life of the Pompeiians, paving the way for many modern engineers.
Your private Amalfi Coast day tour from Rome will come to an end as evening approaches. Your driver will take you back to Rome in the safety and comfort of their luxury car as you get to take home a lifetime of memories from this incredible day.
