🏛️ POMPEII & AMALFI - VIP tour/Small group

🧭 Overview

POMPEII & AMALFI - VIP tour/Small group is an 8-hour day trip from Naples that pairs a guided walk through the world famous ruins of Pompeii with a scenic drive along the Amalfi Coast and free time in Amalfi town. Travel in a small group with morning pickup from selected central Naples meeting points, enjoy expert guidance in Pompeii, then soak up coastal views and Mediterranean charm before returning to Naples.

🗺️ What to Expect

Your day begins with a morning pickup from downtown Naples at one of the listed meeting points. On the drive to Pompeii, an assistant will be on the bus to help and answer questions as you head toward the archaeological site.

Once in Pompeii, you will meet your guide and spend around 2 hours exploring the excavations. The guided visit focuses on how ancient Pompeii inhabitants lived, their traditions, and everyday routines. Along the way you will see key areas such as the large theater, the necropolis, the thermal baths, and impressive houses that once belonged to the city’s wealthiest residents.

After Pompeii, sit back for one of southern Italy’s most iconic drives. The route continues along the Amalfi Coast, where cliffs plunge toward the sea and viewpoints open up to unforgettable panoramas. You will make a panoramic stop to admire the coastline, then continue to Amalfi.

In Amalfi, enjoy 1.5 to 2 hours of free time to wander the charming streets and experience the authentic Mediterranean atmosphere at your own pace. At the end of the tour, your driver will bring you back to the same point where you were picked up in the morning.
