    Experience the Best of Pompeii and the Amalfi Coast: A Private Journey through History, Scenery, and Charm

    Begin your adventure as your private tour driver warmly welcomes you at Naples Port, setting the stage for a captivating day exploring Pompeii and the Amalfi Coast. This exclusive tour combines history, stunning coastal views, and vibrant local culture, offering you the ultimate Italian escape.

    First on the agenda: Pompeii, the Ancient City Frozen in Time.

    Once you arrive in Pompeii, you’ll meet your personal archaeological guide, who will lead you on a fascinating journey through the ruins of this once-thriving Roman city. As you explore the ancient baths, grand theaters, bustling marketplaces, and awe-inspiring temples, you’ll step into life as it was over 2,000 years ago. Buried in volcanic ash by the devastating eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD, Pompeii’s ruins offer a rare window into Roman civilization, making it a must-visit destination for history lovers and adventurers alike.

    Next, it’s time to hit the road and bask in the beauty of the Amalfi Coast!

    After soaking in the history of Pompeii, you’ll embark on a scenic drive along the world-renowned coastal road to Sorrento, where breathtaking views of the Bay of Naples and the shimmering Island of Capri await. As you wind through picturesque country roads lined with lemons, olives, and vibrant bougainvillea, you’ll discover the charm of Sorrento’s bustling shopping district. Stroll through the quaint streets, filled with boutiques, artisans, and cafés, soaking up the relaxed Mediterranean vibe.

    From Sorrento, your journey continues to the glamorous seaside village of Positano.

    Get ready to explore one of Italy’s most enchanting coastal towns! As you arrive in Positano, you’ll descend narrow, winding streets that lead you to the heart of this bustling village. Along the way, you’ll find artisanal ceramics shops, fragrant lemon stands, chic shoes boutiques, and stores brimming with the famous “Positano fashion.” Don’t forget to snap some photos as you take in the stunning scenery! The vibrant energy of Positano’s city center will pull you in, and as you walk down to the seafront, you’ll feel the warm sea breeze on your face.

    Feeling hungry? We recommend stopping for an unforgettable lunch at a charming seafront restaurant.

    Enjoy the fresh Mediterranean flavors as you dine with a view, savoring seafood, pasta, and local wines, with the sparkling blue waters of the Tyrrhenian Sea at your feet. It’s the perfect way to soak up the ambiance of this magical coastal town.

    What’s special about this private tour is that your tour driver is a local! So who can provide you with the best recommendations to maximize your day, if not him?

    With full hearts and maybe some shopping bags in hand, you’ll head back to Naples, where your driver will ensure you arrive at the port right on time to re-board your ship. As you bid farewell to the Amalfi Coast, you’ll carry with you the memories of a day filled with history, stunning landscapes, delicious food, and unforgettable experiences.

    Viterbo and Bomarzo Tour

    A trip to the Countryside! On a short trip from Rome, you'll arrive in the quaint countryside of a town called Viterbo, an Etruscan origin as many towns in the area. Even though it is said that this village was founded in the early centuries Anno Domini, it's historical relevance started with the fortification by the Northern King, Desiderius, in the vain attempt to conquer Rome. It has later become one of the Papal States, and desired by Emperors, for centuries, due to its favorable strategic position. When finally, in 1905, it became a Free Commune. It hosts incredible buildings and structures, aside from the breathtaking views. Like the Papal Palace an outstanding building adjacent to the Duomo of Viterbo, it has actually hosted Papacy for approximately 20 years. Since Rome, at the time of Pope Alexander the 4th, was becoming too violent. Viterbo was the perfect environment for the Holy See to continue its work. So of course, this Papal Palace is an incredible building, absolutely worth a visit. The Duomo of Viterbo right next door, is the town Cathedral dedicated to Saint Laurence. Built in the 12th Century where a smaller church used to be. A few interesting notes about this Cathedral are the beautiful original facade from 1570 and the fact that it is built on top of an 8th century church, which was originally built on top of a temple in devotion to Hercules. Aside from these main sites in Viterbo, there are several other attractions to visit Like the Medieval  neighborhood, hosting incredible architectures. And the National Etruscan Museum. Viterbo is not the only charming place you'll see. In fact there are a few other stops your tour driver will make, that will make your head spin! Bagnaia and Bomarzo Visit Villa Lante in Bagnaia One of the greatest structural accomplishments of the Italian 1500s. In Villa Lante, you will see the fountains of the moors, the two mansions (Gambara and Montalto), and a spectacular system of the fountains and water games and a beautiful park. The entire Villa (between the garden and park) occupies a surface of 22 hectares. The particularity of Lante Villa is shown by the magnificence of the garden, especially in the architectural work. You will have lunch in a typical “trattoria” before visiting Bomarzo. Bomarzo is a fantastic garden. It slips into the theatrical, symbol-laden traditions of the Baroque period. Unsurprisingly, after several centuries of neglect, it was rediscovered during the 1950s by surrealist artist, Salvador Dali, who found inspiration in the garden’s mixture of natural and bizarre design. After a beautiful day in the Countryside, visiting the most magical, hidden locations, you’ll return to your requested location in Rome.
