Just a few hours south of Rome, the Amalfi Coast is a dreamy one-day escape that pairs turquoise seas with cliffside villages. With seamless coach or cruise transfers, it’s easy to swap the Eternal City’s bustle for pastel streets, lemon groves, and seaside piazzas—all in a single day.
Overview:
Meet your guide at a central meeting point and board a comfortable, air-conditioned coach with Wi-Fi. Relax as you leave the city behind and head south through the scenic Lazio and Campania countryside.
Enjoy rolling vineyards, glimpses of Mount Vesuvius, and rest stops en route. Depending on your tour, arrive either at Pompeii for your archaeological visit or at Salerno to begin your coastal cruise.
Skip the lines at Pompeii and explore with an expert guide who brings ancient streets and frescoed villas to life. On cruise-based itineraries, sail from Salerno to Positano past dramatic cliffs, pastel villages, and turquoise bays.
Stroll through Amalfi’s cathedral square, browse artisan boutiques in Positano, or savor limoncello and sea-view lunches in Sorrento. Each stop balances sightseeing with downtime to soak in the coastal charm.
Reboard your coach for a comfortable evening return. You’ll reach Rome by nightfall with memories—and plenty of photos to prove it.
