A shuttle transfer will take you from Positano to Amalfi where you'll meet your local guide and board a deluxe motorcoach for the journey to Pompeii, the Roman city buried by the eruption of Vesuvius in 79 A.D. Sit back and enjoy the drive for approx 1 and a half hours along the famous Amalfi Drive road, passing all the little picturesque towns to arrive in Pompeii. Upon arrival, our first quick stop will be at one of the most prestigious cameo and coral factories in the region to see the production of typical Italian carvings. Soon after, with your skip-the-line ticket included, you'll start the guided visit to the ruins and learn about life in ancient Rome as you explore this compelling archaeological site. Pompeii was lost for 1700 years, partially destroyed and buried under ash and pumice after the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 A.D. On this tour, you’ll see the uncovered remains of life as it was on the day of the eruption, including the ancient baths, bakeries, the arena, and even the brothel. The frozen remnants of Pompeii tell a compelling story about the day the volcano erupted. Continued excavation of the site has revealed statues, skeletons, and tools for you to see. Not only that, but you’ll also learn about what people were eating at the time, the clothes they were wearing, and much more about the day of the eruption. Following the approximately 3-hour visit, you will have free time for lunch (on your own) before heading back to the Amalfi Coast. Please note due to current circulation restrictions on the Amalfi Drive, this tour ends in Amalfi town (no return shuttle to Positano).
