The Amalfi Coast is one of the most evocative and fascinating places in Italy, and perhaps in the world. Unesco Heritage site is the ideal place where to enjoy the sun, sea, and good food. This day trip guarantees tourists comfort and professionalism. Starting from Rome and traveling through the southern countryside, after a quick coffee break on the road, you will have the chance to admire the coastline and the famous town of Sorrento! Then, after one more hour of driving, you will visit the picturesque village of Positano, where you can have a good lunch, time to enjoy the colorful and narrow streets, and do some shopping. The afternoon will be dedicated to the archeological site of Pompeii, by yourself or with a tour guide (extra service), according to your preferences. Then return to Rome.
We may change the order of visit according to traffic conditions or at our own discretion.

WHAT'S INCLUDED

WHAT TO EXPECT

1.
From Rome, you will be driven down through the southern countryside for a couple of hours. There will be a first quick stop along the toll road for some coffee and croissant break. Then we will make again our way until the bay of Naples and the Volcano Vesuvius come into sight. Here, along the winding Sorrento coastal road, you will be stopped again to take some striking pictures of the bay of Naples and the small and picturesque town of Sorrento.
2.
After coffee and cappuccino break and pics about Sorrento and its bay, we keep on driving for 45 more minutes to get to Positano where a picture postcard comes to life, a patchwork of flat and domed roofs and vine-covered stairways tumbling down to meet the gentle curve of the beach. Enjoy time at leisure to explore this elegant summer resort with its designer boutiques, shops, and seaside cafes. You can visit the church of Santa Maria Assunta with its dome made of majolica tiles as well as a 13th-century Byzantine icon of a black Madonna. For lunch, you can choose between the various restaurants on the beach or some coffee stores for a light and delicious lunch.
3.
The tour of one of the most beautiful archaeological sites in the world can be done by yourself or with a Licensed Tour Guide for an extra cost of €130. The city of Pompeii was destroyed and buried by the eruption of the volcano Vesuvius in 79 a. D. The eruption buried Pompeii under 4 to 6 m (13 to 20 ft) of ash and pumice, and it was lost for nearly 1700 years before its accidental rediscovery in 1749. Since then, its excavation has provided an extraordinarily detailed into the life of a city to the height of the Roman Empire. A walk inside the excavations, through the perfectly preserved bath, theatres, temples, markets, and forums will bring you back into the lives of ancient Romans. After this extraordinary tour, you will be driven back home!

My friends and I booked this private tour last minute and it was fabulous! Even though we got stuck in traffic due to an accident, we were along the Amalfi Coast and enjoyed the views. We did wish we had more time in Positano. We had one of the best meals at the restaurant our driver took us to. It was a great way to see more of Italy!

We had an amazing time exploring the Amalfi Coast with Alessandro! He was very knowledgeable and knew all the spots to stop for specialty items/food. We also visited Pompeii on the way back to Rome and it was amazing! Great experience!

It was a great day. Alessandro was a wonderful guide. He kept us on schedule but allowed us freedom to enjoy the areas where we wanted to spend the most time. He was also amazingly helpful! My husband realized he left his prescription glasses in the car and Alessandro delivered them to us the next day. Wonderful tour of the Amalfi coast. Thank you!

For those who are staying in Rome, this private day tour is worth the money. Plus, if you aren't familiar with driving in Italy and want to see the Amalfi Coast and Pompeii, this is the way to go!

Our driver was Allesandro and he was Amazing! Our family was picked in a black mercedes mini-van at our hotel in Rome (plenty of room). We stopped at a coffee shop and once we were on the road again heading to the Amalfi Coast, we realized one of our family members left their purse behind at the coffee shop. Not only did Allesandro call the coffee shop but the coffee shop found it and stated they would hold it until we came back later in the day. We drove to Positano. The scenery and city was phenomenal. We had lunch in Positano (on our own).
After Positano went went to Pompeii (lots of people!). Pompeii is very interesting. Lot of walking and picture taking!
After Pompeii on the way home we stopped to retrieve the purse. We were so impressed. The coffee shop put the purse and its original contents still sealed in a sealed bag to be delivered across the highway to their other location and they wouldn't take money from us.
We had an amazing and memorable day with Allesandro!

My husband and I took a tour with Alessandro to the Amalfi coast. Our main focus was to see Pompeii, and everything else was a welcomed extra!

We were lucky enough to have Alessandro for this trip, as we had experienced a wonderful full day tour of Rome with him the day before.
Alessandro picked us up at our hotel and we began the trip down to the Amalfi coast. Alessandro mentioned that he prefers to stop in Positano and then make the way up ending in Pompeii, however, the weather was not so accommodating and so we did the tour in reverse. This was a wise move on Alessandro‘s part, and is the main reason why you would book a tour with someone so experienced. He knows what he’s doing. Pompeii was absolutely breathtaking and being in that sacred space was an honor and a privilege. My husband and I were truly moved.

Positano is absolutely gorgeous. Get your camera ready to grab shots of the most beautiful terrain you’ll ever see. Alessandro also makes stops along the trip for those special, picturesque moments. Once in Positano, we were able to stroll through the beautiful town and make our way down to a restaurant for a lunch stop. There are plenty of shops and multiple options for dining. If you let Alessandro know what your needs are he is so easy to accommodate them, especially if you have mobility issues.

During the trip, we made several stops for bathroom breaks, and also to experience some of the best espresso and coffee drinks. Alessandro knows all the good spots! As silly as this may seem, I always take interest in going off the beaten path to experience what every day life on the road might be like for someone who lives in Italy.

Alessandro is the ultimate professional. He is kind, thoughtful, respectful, and extremely knowledgeable and organized. You won’t find a better person to spend your day with and learn all there is about Italy. I highly recommend him and his company. You will not regret booking with them. Enjoy your future trip!

Our host was knowledgeable and familiar with the area. Was able to advise us on places to shop and eat. He was very flexible with what we wanted to see/do. Able to change our itinerary slightly. He took pictures for us and navigated the narrow streets and heavy traffic very well.

Alessandro was the most amazing driver and guide for our trip to the Amalfi Coast. From the comfort of his luxury van he pointed out many significant sites along the way from Rome. Every part of our journey was comfortable, memorable and picturesque. Alessandro's obvious love for Rome and all of Italy is obvious in the way he passes on his knowledge of history, architecture and culture. I am excited to return to Italy and look forward to having Alessandro introduce us to another area of his beautiful country.
