Full description of the tour

A private Pompeii & Amalfi Coast tour for a memorable experience, during your Cruise

Our English-speaking tour driver will welcome you in Naples Port for a private Pompeii & Amalfi Coast tour. You will drive to Pompeii, where your personal Archeological 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. A walk inside the excavations, through the perfectly preserved baths, theatres, temples, markets, and forums will bring you back into the lives of the ancient Romans. Please note that since Pompeii is a popular area for tourists, we strongly recommend being cautious of your belongings.

From Pompeii, you’ll take a drive on the wonderful coastal road to Sorrento.

You will enjoy superb views of the Bay of Naples and the Island of Capri (that was once joined to Sorrento.) The Amalfi Coast road stands on a peak, which is a mixture of winding country roads bordered by lemons, olives and bougainvilles. There will be a quick drive through the town, before you arrive in the city center, where you find the main shopping street with lots of shops for the locals, as well as tourists.

Leaving Sorrento, your tour continues with a drive along the breathtaking Amalfi Coast to Positano descending along the winding one-way road.

On the way, you will bypass many local restaurants until we get to the heart of the town, the busy central Piazza dei Mulini. It is connected to a narrow downhill path that you will follow and take a few flights of steps to the seafront.

You will discover the many artisans’ workshops where splendid pieces of ceramic, cameos, and wood inlay will invite you to exclusive shopping.

For an extraordinary experience we highly recommend to stop for lunch, in one of the seafront restaurants, where you’ll find only the best fresh fish and seafood.

These streets also lead to the cathedral, shops selling ceramics, lemons, shoes and “Positano fashion” clothing.

Positano has a very active day and night life. Attracting thousands of visitors, with its clubs such as “Music on the Rocks” and various bars and cafés that are open from dusk to dawn.

After lunch, you’ll enjoy a nice walk up hill to reach your tour driver, and enjoy the breath taking view. In the afternoon, you will return to the port of Naples on perfect time to board your ship.
