Includes private minivan transport and English-speaking guide throughout.

What to expect
The day begins at Pompeii's archaeological grounds, where your guide navigates you through the remarkably preserved ruins—domestic quarters, communal baths, and former shops—piecing together daily life from nearly two millennia ago. Expect substantial walking across uneven ancient pavements; wear sturdy shoes. You'll then head toward the Amalfi Coast to Positano, a vertical village of painted buildings clinging to dramatic cliffs. Time here allows you to wander narrow streets and find a quiet spot for a drink by the water. The third segment takes you to a working farm or artisan workshop where you'll observe traditional cheesemaking and mozzarella production, often tasting samples. The entire route is covered by private minivan, avoiding long coach queues.
