Early departure from Rome
Your full-day adventure begins bright and early at Rome's Piazza del Popolo, where you’ll meet your friendly guide and fellow travelers. Hop aboard a comfortable air-conditioned bus and settle in for a picturesque journey through the rolling hills and vineyards of the Roman countryside to Pompeii. You know you’re getting close when Mount Vesuvius, the famous volcano that erupted in 79 AD and buried the ancient cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum, stands prominently before you.
Ponder the secrets of Pompeii
With skip-the-line tickets in hand, follow your archaeologist guide straight into the frozen-in-time ruins of Pompeii. Walk past old bakeries and villas, stand amid once-bustling marketplaces, and tune in as your guide shares insights into the Forum and the Amphitheater. Strolling among the remnants, you'll find yourself imagining the bustling life of this once-thriving Roman city, silenced and lost to memory for over a millennium and a half.
After exploring the ruins, enjoy some leisurely time for lunch in this ancient city. Local eateries here serve dishes that are as delightful as they are steeped in history—perhaps a plate of spaghetti alla puttanesca or a refreshing gelato, a perfect complement to your Italian day.
Explore the idyllic Amalfi Coast
Leaving Pompeii, your journey continues along the cliff-hugging roads of the UNESCO-listed Amalfi Coast. Famed for its dramatic landscapes, picturesque villages, and azure seas, the Amalfi Coast is truly one of the places you must see to fully appreciate its splendor. And one of its finest gems, although technically overlooking the Bay of Naples, is Sorrento. Here, you’ll hop out for an immersive walking tour, leading you through narrow cobblestone streets, past colorful fishing boats bobbing in Marina Grande, and to lookouts famed for their views of the Bay of Naples and Capri.
Limoncello tasting and return journey
As your Sorrento walking tour nears its end, there’s only one thing left to do—indulge in a delightful limoncello tasting. This sweet, zesty liqueur is made with the region’s larger, fragrant lemons that are lovingly grown on the surrounding terraced cliffs. Cheers to your fellow adventures and superb guide for the day; then, make your way back to the coach for a return journey to Rome. Expect to arrive back at Piazza del Popolo around 8 pm, buzzing from a day rich in history, beauty, and local flavors. Thanks for joining and arrivederci!
