Pompeii guided tour with Amalfi Coast drive from Rome
Overview
Experience two of southern Italy’s most iconic destinations in a single day with this perfectly planned day trip from Rome.
Your adventure begins early in Rome where you'll board a comfortable private coach bus to make the most of your time in Pompeii and the Amalfi Coast. If you select the 6.15 am tour, you'll slip into the ancient ruins of Pompeii with early entry just as they're opening the gates to visitors for the day. Alongside your expert archaeologist guide, you’ll explore this once-thriving Roman city, perfectly preserved by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD. You’ll walk the same streets that Romans once did in silence before the daytime crowds arrive, peeking into shops, temples, and even a brothel—each frozen in time.
You’ll also enjoy rare access to the Villa of Mysteries (6.15 am tour), one of the most beautiful villas in Pompeii. Buried under ash for nearly 2,000 years, this miraculously preserved home is filled with cryptic frescoes depicting Dionysian rituals.
After your Pompeii adventure, you’ll hop back on the bus for a scenic drive along the Amalfi Coast—widely regarded as one of the world’s most spectacular stretches of coastline.
End your day with free time in Sorrento—ideal for shopping, dining, and soaking in the Mediterranean charm.
