Southern Italy & Amalfi Coast

Depart Naples this morning by private car and drive to Mount Vesuvius, where you'll have the opportunity to view the volcano's crater. After the short hike, descend the mountain and enjoy a lunch and wine tasting in a nearby winery. This afternoon you will continue to the famous archaeological sites of Pompeii. Pompeii is thought to date back to 700 BC — built by the Etruscans and later ruled by the Romans from around 80 BC. After the eruption, it was buried under a wall of volcanic ash and pumice which almost perfectly preserved the stone structures of the buildings, frescoes and mosaics. This is arguably one of the most famous Roman ruins in Europe. Once you have explored Pompeii with your private guide, you'll be taken by private car to your hotel in Sorrento.

Visit a Sorrentine villa today and, with a small group of fellow food enthusiasts, learn how to make authentic pizza and pasta whilst admiring the views from the villa. During the course you will use local produce and be able to enjoy tasting your creations and some of the wine produced on-site at the villa's small vineyard.

This morning you'll depart Sorrento for the beautiful island of Capri. A private car will deliver you to the jetty, where you'll take a private boat for a pleasant and scenic ride along the stunning Sorrentine coast to Capri. On arrival, a private taxi will take you to your hotel, followed by an afternoon at leisure to explore the island.

Today, you will hike along the Path of the Forts with a private guide. This spectacular trail offers some of the best views along the coastline. You'll be able to relax in the afternoon and perhaps explore Capri town at leisure.

Enjoy a leisurely morning on Capri before being taken by private boat back to the mainland. On arrival, your private driver will meet you and take you to your hotel in the enchanting and picturesque Positano, which is known for its dramatic hillside backdrop and vibrant pastel-toned buildings. You'll have the remainder of the day at leisure to relax or start exploring.

Today you will explore the towns of the Amalfi Coast with a private car and a guide. Starting with the town of Amalfi, you'll see the beautiful cathedral and have some time at leisure before heading up to Ravello and the stunning Villa Cimbrone and Villa Rufolo. The journey will take in some stunning coastal views before you return to Positano late in the afternoon.

This morning you'll say goodbye to the Amalfi Coast and be taken by private car to Naples Airport. Your return flight will arrive the same day.
