Description
Your private tour driver will welcome you in Naples Port for a private Pompeii & Amalfi Coast tour. You will drive to Pompeii, where your personal Archaeological guide will take you for a special, private guided tour of the Ancient ruins.
If you want to discover what life must have been like in Rome over 2,000 years ago, Pompeii is the place to visit. This ancient Roman city was destroyed and buried by the eruption of the volcano, Vesuvius, in 79 AD. Walk inside the excavations, through the perfectly preserved baths, theaters, temples, markets, and forums.
From Pompeii, you’ll take a drive on the wonderful coastal road to Sorrento. You will enjoy the views of the Bay and the Island of Capri. The Amalfi Coast road stands on a peak, which is a mixture of winding country roads bordered by lemons, olives and bougainvilles. Visit the Sorrento’s Shopping District!
Leaving Sorrento, you will drive to Positano! Visit the busy City center. It is connected to a narrow downhill path that you will follow and take a few flights of steps to the seafront. The streets also lead to the cathedral, ceramics shops, lemons sellers, shoes boutiques and “Positano fashion” clothing…where you can do some exclusive shopping.
For an extraordinary experience we highly recommend to stop for lunch, in one of the seafront restaurants. After lunch, you’ll enjoy a nice walk up hill to reach your tour driver, and return to the port of Naples on perfect time to board your ship.
