Private Day Tour from Naples

From Naples: Private Tour to Pompeii, Sorrento and Amalfi

One full day. Three iconic destinations. An unforgettable journey through ancient ruins, coastal villages, and maritime history.


This private tour from Naples to Pompeii, Sorrento, and Amalfi covers the most celebrated highlights of the Campania region in a single, well-paced day. Starting at the ancient ruins of Pompeii and finishing along the legendary Amalfi Coast, this experience connects two thousand years of Italian history with some of the most dramatic coastal scenery in Europe.

Pompeii offers a rare opportunity to walk through a city frozen in time by the eruption of Vesuvius in 79 AD. The site reveals the daily rhythms of Roman life with extraordinary clarity, from its bakeries and bathhouses to its forum and frescoed homes.

Moving south along the coast, Sorrento greets visitors with its narrow lanes, colourful facades, and views stretching across the Bay of Naples. The clifftop town has long been a gathering point for travellers drawn to its relaxed atmosphere and strategic position at the edge of the Sorrentine Peninsula.

Positano is admired from a panoramic terrace, allowing you to take in the full spectacle of its stacked, pastel-coloured houses cascading toward the sea. The tour concludes in Amalfi, once a powerful maritime republic and still a place of considerable architectural and cultural distinction.

Tour Highlights

Explore the remarkably preserved streets and structures of ancient Pompeii, buried by Vesuvius in 79 AD.

Discover the colourful, narrow streets of Sorrento, perched on cliffs above the Bay of Naples.

Admire Positano from a panoramic terrace, capturing the full sweep of its vertical, vividly painted cityscape.

Visit Amalfi, once one of the great maritime republics of medieval Italy, and explore its historic centre.

Travel as a private group with a dedicated guide, allowing for a flexible and personalised pace throughout the day.

Journey along the UNESCO-listed Amalfi Coast road, one of the most scenic drives in the Mediterranean.
