What to expect
Rome
Your adventure begins in central Rome, where you'll meet your tour leader and board a private, air-conditioned bus. As you settle in for the scenic drive, sit back and relax—your guide and driver will handle all the details as you journey toward the ruins of Pompeii.
Your adventure begins with early entry into the ancient ruins of Pompeii. You’ll have the unique opportunity to explore this once-thriving Roman city, perfectly preserved by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD, without the crowds for a more peaceful experience. With an expert archaeologist as your guide, you and small group of maximum 18 people will walk the same streets that Romans once did, peeking into shops, temples, and even a brothel—each frozen in time. You'll also see the House of the Vetti, an incredibly preserved house recently reopened after years of restoration.
You’ll also enjoy rare access to the Villa of Mysteries, one of the most beautiful and richest villas in Pompeii. Buried under ash for nearly 2,000 years, this miraculously preserved home is filled with cryptic frescoes depicting Dionysian rituals.
Departing Pompeii, it’s back onto the airconditioned bus for one of the most unforgettable drives of your life soaking up the panoramic vistas of the Amalfi coast. It won’t take long for you to see why this is considered Italy’s most scenic drive (although certainly not the easiest to navigate—you’ll be glad you have a professional driver!).
Sorrento
Explore the charming town of Sorrento with stunning beaches and views of Mount Vesuvius. Here, you’ll have free time to wander the town’s vibrant streets at your own pace. Visit its stunning boutiques, dine on fresh seafood, or pick up handmade ceramics and other crafts.
Rome
After an unforgettable day of history, beauty, and relaxation, you’ll board for a relaxing journey back to Rome. Reflect on the stunning sights of Pompeii, the Amalfi Coast, and Sorrento, all while relaxing in comfort as your guide ensures your smooth return to the city.
The experience can be subject to change due to bad weather or unforseen circumstances. We always endeavour to give you the best possible experience.
