Discover some of the most essential parts of the Campania region in this nine-day cultural trip, beginning with an exploration of the ruins of ancient Pompeii to the magnificent views of Amalfi and its surrounding fishing villages.

TOUR HIGHLIGHTS
Sorrento: A proud resort, Sorrento is nonetheless a sophisticated and beautiful town. Even the souvenirs are a cut above the norm, with plenty of fine old shops selling ceramics, lacework, and intarsia (wood inlaying), all famously produced here.
Amalfi: Deemed by UNESCO ‘an outstanding example of a Mediterranean landscape, with exceptional cultural and natural scenic values,’ this coast was awarded a spot on the World Heritage List in 1997.
Pompeii: ‘The buried city,’ it was once the holiday destination of rich ancient Romans because of its healthy weather and impressive views. Its archaeological zones, Herculano, and the Annunziata Tower have all been included in the World Heritage List by UNESCO.

Exploring Pompeii and the Amalfi Coast over nine days was a dream come true, with stunning views and rich history at every turn. My accommodations in Naples were comfortable, but there were a couple of long drives that felt a bit tedious at times.

This journey offered a fantastic blend of history, culture, and stunning landscapes that exceeded our expectations. The private nature of the tour allowed us to delve into fascinating ancient ruins while enjoying breathtaking views along the rugged coastline. We appreciated the flexibility it provided for our group, especially during the quieter evenings when we could unwind at our accommodations. However, there were a couple of moments when the schedule felt a bit tight, making it challenging to fully absorb certain sites. Overall, we left with lasting memories and a deeper appreciation for this remarkable region.

Our group had a blast delving into the history and beauty of the ancient ruins and the stunning coastline. Each day was a different adventure, filled with mouthwatering meals that truly showcased the region’s culinary delights, though we wished we had a bit more time to relax between activities. The private tours allowed us to soak in every moment, but occasionally, we felt a tad rushed by the itinerary.

We had an amazing time exploring ancient ruins and breathtaking coastal views, with the highlight being a private sunset dinner overlooking the shimmering waters. While the accommodations were comfortable, we found the room service a bit slow at times, but that didn’t detract from our overall experience.
