Private Tour to Pompeii, Positano, and Vietri sul Mare
One extraordinary day tracing ancient ruins, a clifftop coastal town, and a village celebrated for its hand-painted ceramics.
This private tour to Pompeii, Positano, and Vietri sul Mare brings together three of southern Italy's most compelling destinations in a single, unhurried day. You travel in a private chauffeur-driven vehicle along the Amalfi Coast, one of the most scenic stretches of road in Europe. The itinerary balances archaeology, coastal beauty, and artisan culture without rushing you through any of it.
Pompeii invites you to walk streets that were buried under volcanic ash nearly two thousand years ago and have since been uncovered to reveal an astonishingly intact portrait of Roman daily life. The Forum, the frescoed villas, and the mosaic floors speak directly to the rhythms of a civilization that still shapes the world today.
Positano offers something entirely different: a vertical village of pastel houses tumbling toward a clear blue sea, with narrow lanes lined by boutiques, ceramic workshops, and cafes. It is a place best understood on foot, moving between viewpoints, beaches, and the domed church at its center.
Vietri sul Mare closes the day with its centuries-old ceramic tradition. Workshops here still produce the vivid hand-painted pieces that have made the town famous across Italy, and a visit to Ceramica Artistica Solimene lets you watch artisans at work before exploring the town at your own pace.
Tour Highlights
Walk through the Forum and along the Via dell'Abbondanza in the ancient city of Pompeii, one of the world's most significant archaeological sites.
Explore the winding streets and viewpoints of Positano, descend to Spiaggia Grande, and take in sweeping views of the Tyrrhenian Sea.
Discover Vietri sul Mare's living ceramic tradition, including a visit to Ceramica Artistica Solimene where artisans craft hand-painted pieces.
Visit the Chiesa di Santa Maria Assunta in Positano, known for its majolica-tiled dome and ornate interior overlooking the sea.
Travel the full length of the Amalfi Coast in a private chauffeur-driven vehicle, with uninterrupted views of cliffs, coves, and hillside villages.
Enjoy a seaside meal in Positano featuring fresh seafood and classic Italian dishes at a local restaurant.
Gain insight into Roman domestic life at the House of the Vettii, one of Pompeii's best-preserved private residences.
Itinerary Overview
Enter through the Porta Marina gate and make your way to the Forum, the civic and commercial heart of the ancient city. Preserved temples, basilicas, and public squares offer an immediate sense of the scale and sophistication of Roman urban life.
Walk along the Via dell'Abbondanza, where well-preserved homes, frescoes, and mosaics line the original Roman street. A stop at the House of the Vettii provides a closer look at domestic architecture and the decorative arts of the period.
Arrive in Positano and explore its cascading lanes at your own pace, browsing artisanal shops selling fashion, ceramics, and local goods. Descend to Spiaggia Grande for a rest on the beach and a view back up the cliffside town.
Climb to the Chiesa di Santa Maria Assunta, whose majolica dome is one of the most recognizable images on the Amalfi Coast. Afterward, sit down for a traditional Italian lunch at a seafront restaurant before continuing the journey.
Begin in Vietri sul Mare at Ceramica Artistica Solimene, where local artisans hand-paint the pieces that have defined the town's identity for generations. Explore the surrounding streets and browse the ceramic shops at your leisure before the return drive.
