Highlights

Discover the well-preserved ruins of Pompeii with a local guide and get a glimpse into what daily Roman life was like before the city’s tragic fate in 79 AD.

Hike up to the crater rim of the still active Mt Vesuvius (1281 m) – known for the eruption that covered Pompeii with ash – where you’ll have prime views over the Bay of Naples.

Spend a couple of days exploring the seaside resort town of Sorrento – famous for its old streets, fresh seafood and lemon groves – and enjoy a tasting of tangy limoncello liqueur.

Fuel your adventures with a pizza tasting in Naples – the alleged birthplace of this beloved carb – and experience the Neapolitan custom of caffe sospeso (the act of paying it forward).

Explore the Amalfi Coast on a half-day hike along the Sentiero Degli Dei (Path of the Gods), then see the cliffside town of Positano from a different angle on a scenic ferry back to Minori.

Itinerary

For travelers tight on time but keen on variety, the Rome to Amalfi tour packs southern Italy’s highlights into eight unforgettable days. Journey from Rome’s storied streets to the volcanic drama of Naples and Pompeii, where history is etched into the very landscape. Savor the sunshine in Sorrento and wind down amid the Amalfi Coast’s dazzling cliffs and azure waters.

This easy-paced city sightseeing tour is perfect for those wanting a blend of history, light trekking, and culinary delights. Each day offers a new taste of la dolce vita, from ancient ruins to sun-dappled terraces overlooking the sea.

The unique selling point: a seamless combination of Italy’s cultural treasures and natural beauty, all within one compact and lively tour package.

day 1 - Rome

Buongiorno! Welcome to Italy. There are no activities planned until your welcome meeting at 6 pm, but there are plenty of things to do in Italy’s capital if you arrive early – the Colosseum, the Forum, Piazza Navona, the Spanish Steps, Via Condotti, Piazza Venezia, the Vatican City and St Peter's Basilica – so arriving early is recommended. Don’t forget to do as the Romans do and sip an espresso at one of the tiny streetside cafes or sample the many flavours of gelato that colour the city (Trastevere is a great spot for dining). For those captivated by the Eternal City, throw a coin into the Trevi Fountain to ensure a return visit. For dinner, why not head out with your group and get to know each other?

accommodation:Hotel (1 night)

day 2 - Naples / Pompeii

Travel by train to Naples, a city brimming with passion and gastronomy. Naples has been shaped by many empires and civilisations throughout history, including the Romans, Phoenicians, Carthaginians, Venetians, Spaniards, Normans and Africans. Its historic centre is a UNESCO World Heritage site, and the famous Spanish Quarter remains one of Europe’s most densely populated residential areas. Join your leader for an orientation walk around the city centre and the Spanish Quarter, finishing with a pizza tasting – Naples is the birthplace of pizza, after all! You'll also partake in the Neapolitan custom of caffe sospeso, a gesture of anonymous charity while paying for coffee. Later this afternoon, board a train to the time capsule of Pompeii. Your accommodation tonight is conveniently located near the entrance to the archaeological excavation site.

included:Naples - Leader-led orientation walk, Naples - café sospeso

accommodation:Hotel (1 night)

meals:1 Breakfast

day 3 - Pompeii

The small town of modern Pompeii has a wonderful square in Old Town – the perfect place to spend some time with the locals, drink an authentic Italian coffee and watch the world go by. Today’s highlight is a guided tour of the ruins of ancient Pompeii. Until 79 AD, Pompeii was a thriving Roman trading centre, but it was frozen in time when Mount Vesuvius erupted, burying 2000 people and their homes under a layer of ash. The city was never rebuilt and largely disappeared from people’s minds until the ruins were rediscovered in the late 16th century. The immaculately preserved ruins include villas, temples, theatres and markets, and provide insights into how Romans lived and worked 2000 years ago. The rest of the day is yours to relax, or if you like, you can visit the nearby Herculaneum, renowned for its fossilised archaeological treasures.

included:Pompeii - Archaeological Site, Pompeii - Walking Tour with Local Guide

accommodation:Hotel (1 night)

meals:1 Breakfast

day 4 - Mt Vesuvius / Sorrento

A private transfer will take you to the mighty Mt Vesuvius this morning, where you’ll meet a local volcanology guide. Hike to the summit for 360-degree views over the Bay of Naples and peek inside the crater. Although Mt Vesuvius is still considered an active volcano, the last eruption was in 1944 and there's no sign of lava. See firsthand the awesome power of the volcano that engulfed the cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum in 79 AD. In the afternoon, travel by private vehicle to the resort town of Sorrento. People have been coming to the peninsula and islands of the Sorrento region for at least 2000 years. There are many options in this small seaside town with its piazzas, maze of old streets, cafes and shops. Sorrento is also famous for its lemon groves, which produce the famous limoncello, and you’ll enjoy a tasting of the liqueur this evening.

included:Mt Vesuvius - Crater Rim Walk & Summit Climb, Sorrento - Limoncello Tasting

accommodation:Hotel (1 night)

meals:1 Breakfast

day 5 - Sorrento

You have a free day to explore the cliffside town of Sorrento. Maybe stroll along the marina or cool off in the waters of the small beaches. Visiting Capri is another option, accessible by a hydrofoil. Natural grottoes dot Capri’s rugged coastline, but go inland and you’ll find narrow roads that wind through fragrant citrus groves and villages of flat-roofed white houses. In Capri, you could also take a boat trip to the Blue Grotto (La Grotta Azzurra), where the water shines with an extraordinary blue translucence thanks to the refraction of sunlight outside. End the day the Italian way with a gelato making demonstration with your group.

included:Sorrento - Gelato Making Demonstration

accommodation:Hotel (1 night)

meals:1 Breakfast

day 6 - Amalfi Coast

Arrive at the Amalfi Coast after a short journey by private vehicle. The Amalfi peninsula is a land of rocky coastlines, clifftop towns, bright blue seas and tiered olive groves. If you're after a relaxing walk with a few cultural highlights, stroll from one side of Amalfi town to the other and visit the Cattedrale di Sant'Andrea and the Chiostro del Paradiso. If you want something more active, maybe head to the Valley of Mills. Alternatively, catch a bus up to the Valley of Dragons to reach the town of Ravello – its lofty position and dry climate have attracted writers, artists, musicians and travellers for centuries. Tonight, you'll stay in Minori, just a 15-minute bus ride from Amalfi (the bus fare is included). Minori is quieter than the tourist hotspots while still being just a short walk from the beach.

accommodation:Hotel in Minori (Amalfi Coast)

meals:1 Breakfast

day 7 - Positano / Amalfi Coast

This morning, take a short bus ride to Amalfi Town. Here, your leader will take you for a half-day hike along the narrow trail of the famous Sentiero Degli Dei (Path of the Gods) which was historically used by farmers, mules and donkeys. The path winds through diverse scenery with unrivalled views of the coast. Walk through forests and fields of wildflowers, olive groves and vineyards, past ancient stone huts and beside sheer granite cliffs. See local farmers tending their crops by hoe and herds of goats grazing along the trail. You’ll finish up in Positano, where you'll have time to explore and maybe take a dip in the sea before returning to Minori by ferry and bus. As tonight marks your final evening together, maybe gather your group for a celebratory feast to cap off your Italian adventure.

included:Amalfi - Walk of the Gods Hike (Sentiero degli Dei), Amalfi - Coastal Ferry Cruise Positano to Amalfi

accommodation:Hotel in Minori (Amalfi Coast)
