Amalfi Coast and Pompeii Full Day Tour from Naples
It’s not often that you visit a UNESCO World Heritage Site, it’s even rarer to visit two Heritage Sites in a day. Well, that’s one of the reasons you shouldn’t miss this incredible adventure to the Amalfi Coast and Pompeii. Packed with excitement, awe-inspiring natural scenery, and fascinating culture, this tour experience has it all and is enjoyed by people of all ages, kids and seniors included.
Pompeii is a legendary city! Discovered in 1748 AD, Pompeii is most notable for the infamous eruption of Mt. Vesuvius which covered the city in ash. The ash served as the perfect preservative for the ruins which stand with the same aura of grandeur associated with the Roman era. Stroll along the city and try to imagine what the city must have been like in the past as a professional archaeologist guide tells you everything you need to know about the city.
The Amalfi Coast is a rugged shoreline famous for its dramatic landscapes and is a popular location in films, TV programmes, and media. Although its safe to say you’ve seen it on TV before, that is not the real deal. A pristine, coastal landscape with patches of green on one side and the majestic Lattari mountains on the other; this is a drive you will not soon forget.
