Pompeii

After a drive of approximately three hours from Rome, you arrive at the archeological site of Pompeii. The now famous city, that was destroyed by the volcano Vesuvius in 79 AD. Or so everyone thought…Because of the ash and the speed that flooded the city by the lava and ashes, everything remained perfectly intact for centuries. During the nineteenth and twentieth century, archeologists dug up the hidden city and found buildings, people, animals, and objects entirely preserved. Nowadays, this is one of the most popular sites in Italy to visit. During your visit you will learn all about the history of the people who lived there. This was once a thriving civilization that got swooped away in a matter of minutes.

If preferred, you can replace the private guided tour of the archaeological site of Pompeii for Herculaneum.

Accessibility note: The route is 3 km long and is accessible for wheelchair users. Along the route, some ramps are installed that give access to the most important buildings on the site. Click here to know more about the accessibility of Pompeii!

Amalfi coast and Sorrento

Along the Amalfi coast, there are various beautiful Mediterranean villages to visit. Today you will explore the charming town of Sorrento. Sorrento’s cliffside location offers breathtaking views of the Bay of Naples, Mount Vesuvius, and the island of Capri. The town is surrounded by picturesque beaches and clear, turquoise waters, and was once the holiday retreat of famous literary geniuses like Dickens, Goethe, and Tolstoy. The locals are known for their friendliness and hospitality, making visitors feel at home.

In the heart of the historic center, you find Piazza Tasso, the vibrant main square surrounded by lively cafes and elegant boutiques. The town’s charming streets, lined with boutiques, cafes, and lemon groves, create a welcoming and relaxed atmosphere. Your private guide will share the history and background of some of its main historical sites, such as the Basilica di Sant Antonino and the Cloister of San Francesco, offering a glimpse into its storied past. The main street as well as the smaller side streets are flat, so the center is fairly easy to (st)roll around.

Sorrento is also the town of lemons, so if you want to drink a fresh lemonade or a taste of the typical limoncello on a terrace that overlooks the bay, this would be the place for you!

After the visit of Sorrento, your guide will leave you, and together with your private driver, you head up north again, for the return to the city of Rome.
