2. Pompeii Archaeological Park
Say goodbye to the hassle of entrance tickets and lines. Your personal archaeologist will lead you along the ancient streets, unlocking the secrets of Pompeii's preserved homes, baths, food stores, and outdoor theaters. Unlike a museum, here you'll step directly into the heart of ancient life.
3. Ercolano
***If Pompei, Vesuvius & Cone Hike / Geologist Walk is selected *** This tour includes an exceptional lunch experience at an authentic Italian restaurant boasting panoramic views of the Bay of Naples. Indulge in a delightful all-inclusive meal featuring traditional pizza, an appetizer, and dessert, providing a taste of authentic Italian cuisine. You’ll get the chance to recharge for the journey to Vesuvius that’s ahead.
4. Vesuvius National Park
***If Pompei, Vesuvius & Cone Hike or Geologist Walk is selected *** Continue your journey with an ascent to Mt. Vesuvius (from April to early-November), an active volcano boasting breathtaking views of Capri and Sorrento. At Vesuvius, you can choose between an invigorating hike to the renowned crater or opt for a more leisurely naturalistic walk alongside a professional geologist, revealing the hidden wonders of the Vesuvius landscape.
5. Amalfi Coast
***If Pompeii, Amalfi & Positano option selected*** After some free time for a few last pictures of Pompeii and lunch (at own expense) the tour will continue further south along the picturesque seaside roads of the Amalfi Coast where the Dolce Vita was born. Here your breath will be taken away by the spectacular coastlines as the mountains cascade into the sea and romantic villages climb up the mountains like grapevines.
6. Positano
***If Pompeii, Amalfi & Positano option selected*** The winding roads will lead you to one of the most beautiful seaside villages that the Amalfi Coast has to offer, Positano. Here you will have free time to explore the meandering streets lined with artisanal local shops or just sit back and enjoy the incredible view while sipping the local specialty, limoncello! Whichever you choose you will be sure to remember your afternoon in this jewel of a seaside village.

The stops to Pompeii and Positano were worth the trip, and our tour guides were informative, professional, and entertaining. We only wished we had more time at each destination; Positano, in particular, felt very rushed. About eight of the 13 total hours of the tour were spent on the bus.

This trip was definitely worth it! The experience is amazing and absolutely breathtaking. Our guide Natasha was very knowledgeable and was happy to give many helpful tips for a trip in Italy. Pompeii was interesting and beautiful. We went to Positano as an option and the town we stopped is very touristic for sure but the place is so beautiful and the lemon slushy is really out of this world! The only part I was sad about is the allowed free time came to about one hour and a half and you’d thing it’s decent but we barely got to do anything as with this time you either can go around the shops or go down to the beach for limited time as you have to be back on time to the bus and it’s about a 20 min walk from the beach and 10 min walk from the stores. But all together it was a good trip! I recommend :) May weather is perfect for this trip! oh and also, I think booking directly through city wonders is much cheaper.

Barbara was an absolute joy as a tour director. She made the outing fun from the beginning. The limoncello rest stop was a fun and pleasant surprise! Only suggestion would be to not allow the seating to be a free for all at the beginning… it all worked out fine, but was kind of a cluster.

This was a really great tour! John and Antonio were a great tour guide and bus driver duo. We took my 87 year old grandmother and she really enjoyed her time, but the hike was a bit too much for her so she opted out of that experience. Still—a good day for the family and something that most can enjoy. Thanks for helping to make a dream of my grandma’s come true!
