What to expect
Your driver collects you from ship or accommodation and heads inland toward Pompeii. After arriving at the archaeological site, your guide leads you through streets and homes, explaining daily Roman life before Vesuvius erupted in 79 AD. You'll see shop counters, mosaics, and the plaster casts of residents. The guided portion typically lasts two to three hours. You then drive to the Amalfi Coast, where you have several hours unsupervised. Most people explore Amalfi's waterfront piazzas, lemon groves, and ceramic shops, then take the coastal road up to Ravello's quieter hilltop setting. The return journey to Salerno allows wind-down time.
Good to know
Pompeii involves considerable walking on uneven ancient paving—wear sturdy shoes. The site has limited shade; bring sun protection. Amalfi and Ravello have steep streets; casual walking shoes essential. Meals and other entrance fees (Ravello churches, gardens) are separate. Strollers and wheelchairs permitted at all stops.
