3-Days Escorted Tour from Rome to Naples, Pompeii and Amalfi Coast

Experience the allure of the Amalfi Coast. Tour Southern Italy's most valuable historic and archaeological sites and visit small coastal towns tucked between the mountains and the sea.

Day 1: Rome, Naples, Pompeii, Amalfi

We will come to pick you up from your central Rome hotel. Board a comfortable coach bus and relax as you peer through the window at the picturesque landscapes and countryside scenery on the drive from Rome to Naples. Once in Naples, an expert local guide will lead you on a walking tour of the city's center and historical heart. Marvel at the Royal Palace, the Gallery of Umberto I, the Piazza del Plebiscito, the San Carlo Opera House, and several breathtaking churches. Listen closely as your guide recounts the history of Naples and reveals its secrets.
Next, pause en route to Pompeii at a coral and cameo factory, an interesting stop which has some great souvenirs. After a delicious lunch in a typical Italian restaurant, continue on to the village of Pompeii, buried underneath ash and lava in 79 B.C.E. by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius. Witness the extensive archaeological excavations taking place and glimpse the ancient treasures unearthed from the ash.
Back on the bus, admire sensational views and quaint fishing villages as you drive along the Amalfi Coast. Eat dinner and stay the night in a comfortable hotel in Amalfi, resting up for the next day of adventures.

Day 2: Amalfi

After an American-style breakfast buffet at the hotel, the rest of the day is yours! Follow your heart to whatever calls to you in this picturesque coastal town.
Perhaps visit the center of Amalfi, where you can glean some information about its past existence as the capital of an ancient maritime republic. Maybe you just want to wander the streets, taking in the breathtaking beauty of this historic city, which is itself a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
You can even spend some time on a private beach and take a dip in the fresh Mediterranean water! Alternatively, participate in optional guided excursions to other points of interest in the area, like the lively fishing village and tourist enclave of Positano or the romantic town Ravello, located in the hills above Amalfi and known for its lush gardens and unparalleled vistas.

Day 3: Amalfi, Pompeii, Rome

Spend your morning at leisure after a buffet breakfast at the hotel. Meet in the afternoon and head back to Pompeii, where you will join another group and return to Rome, getting in at approximately 9:00 PM.
