Leave Rome for the day and embark on a private tour to see the best of southern Italy: Pompeii and the Amalfi Coast, two magnificent and very different World Heritage sights.   After being picked up from your hotel in central Rome, travel with your expert guide by comfortable air-conditioned car to the ancient Roman city of Pompeii. With skip-the-line entrance, enjoy a comprehensive tour of this remarkable archaeological site, perfectly preserved after the devastating eruption of Mt. Vesuvius in A.D. 79 A.D. With your guided tour, get a sense of the town’s rich cultural life with its grand villas, decorated with mosaic and frescoes, and elegant theaters. Imagine what life was like as you walk along the excavated ruins and learn about the ancient fast food restaurants, temple-lined forum, and beautifully decorated bath house. After the historical Pompeii tour, continue on to the Amalfi coast and beautiful Positano — a Mediterranean cliffside village set above the azure waters. Walk through the narrow cobblestone streets toward the beach. Then stop for lunch at one of the best restaurants on the Amalfi coast recommended by your guide.   En route back to Rome, stop at a panoramic viewing platform in Sorrento, propped on a hillside for stunning views of the Amalfi Coast.
