A great trip from Rome, visit the ruined city of Pompeii and revel in the beauty of Amalfi Coast with this guided tour.
Pompeii, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, was buried under the volcanic ash and pumice for centuries after the fierce Mount Vesuvius erupted in 79 AD. Led by an official Pompeii guide, you will see the major Pompeii attractions. The guide will be a trained archaeologist who will narrate fascinating stories about the lives that the people of Pompeii used to lead.
Next, head to the scenic Amalfi Coast and visit Positano, a spectacularly beautiful coastal town that has inspired such legendary writers as Shelley, Goethe and Steinbeck. Discover the picturesque charms of Amalfi town as the guide tells you about the lifestyle of its residents.

Your tour will begin from designated meeting point where you will meet your tour co-cordinator to check in. Board the bus and head to the city of Pompeii, which was buried under volcanic debris for over 1600 years.
You will meet your expert guide in Pompeii who will walk you through the shops, temples, public baths and houses that composed the thriving city. The guide will recount the fascinating stories of ancient life and how it was decimated by the eruption of Mt. Vesuvius.
