Day 3 – Pompeii and Naples
Today you'll step back almost 2,000 years with a guided visit to Pompeii, one of the world's most remarkable archaeological sites.
Buried beneath volcanic ash following the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in AD 79, the ancient city offers an extraordinary glimpse into everyday Roman life. Explore its streets, villas, temples and frescoed houses with a knowledgeable local guide.

Discover one of Italy's most famous coastal landscapes as you travel along the breathtaking Amalfi Drive.
The winding road hugs the cliffs high above the Mediterranean, revealing wonderful views of colourful villages, terraced hillsides and turquoise waters.

Day 6 – The beautiful Isle of Capri
A highlight of the holiday awaits today as you cross the sparkling Bay of Naples by jet-foil to the glamorous Isle of Capri.
After the short crossing, travel by minibus to the pretty hilltop village of Anacapri, where you'll have time to explore its charming streets and enjoy the island's relaxed atmosphere.
For particularly spectacular views, you can take an optional chair-lift ride to the summit of Monte Solaro, the island's highest point.

Alex's view
After recently visiting with my family, I can attest that the Amalfi Coast is spectacular, but its narrow, winding roads and busy towns can make exploring independently a challenge for all but the hardiest of drivers! That's where an escorted tour really comes into its own. You can enjoy the coastline, explore the extraordinary ruins of Pompeii and visit Capri without worrying about transport or logistics. Just don’t drop your room key off the Anacapri chair lift like I did!
I'd particularly recommend this for those of you who are first-time visitors to the region and who want to see the highlights without the stress of organising everything yourself.
