Description
On our Private Pompeii and Amalfi Coast Private Tour, you will enjoy in one day the most celebrated treasures that this wonderful region has to offer, comfortably travelling by car.
Strolling around the city of Pompeii with your expert guide, you will discover many aspects of the Roman lifestyle: you will see the wonderful infrastructures, fruit of the renowned ingenuity of the Romans, the incredibly modern thermal baths, the shops, the villas of the rich as well as the houses of the poor.
You will be visiting ancient houses where you will admire the spectacular paintings commissioned by the owners, explore the ruins of temples, such as the one dedicated to the Egyptian goddess Isis and finally visit the Forum, heart of the political and administrative activity. You will also explore the buildings where the Romans used to enjoy their spare time, such as the famous baths or the restaurants, where people were able to order from a menu painted on the wall.
The Amalfi Coast
After your archaeological adventure in Pompeii, the second part of the tour will be dedicated to pure relaxation, as you comfortably drive through the Amalfi Coast. The 50 kilometers of coastline that go from the Gulf of Naples to the Gulf of Sorrento are without a doubt, one of the most beautiful places in Italy, if not in the whole world: sit back and enjoy your ride through spectacular landscapes and breathtaking views on the Mediterranean sea, before exploring, on your own free unguided time, the three most beautiful towns of the Coast.
Ravello
Your tour will then proceed to the beautiful town of Ravello, the favorite holiday destination of many artists and writers, such as Richard Wagner, Greta Garbo or Truman Capote.
In this little corner of Paradise, a little miracle takes place every year: the solidified blood of Saint Pantaleon, preserved in the 11th century Duomo, liquefies on the saint’s feast.
Amalfi is considered the main town of the Coast that takes its name. Amalfi has also incredible art treasures in store for its visitors, such as the Cathedral of Saint Andrew dating back to the 11th century. The cathedral, that you will be able to visit at your own accord, is decorated with a stunning golden ceiling and houses the relics of the apostle. If you wish, you will also be able to visit the beautiful Cloister of Paradise, designed in 1266.
Positano
We will then explore Positano that offers also unique monuments, such as the famous church of Santa Maria Assunta, from the 12th century: surprisingly, the dome of this church is entirely decorated with majolica tiles, a specialty of this town.
