A movie-worthy tour taking in Naples, the ruins of Pompeii and Herculaneum, the imposing Vesuvius and the glamorous Amalfi Coast

The "Naples and the Amalfi Coast" tour is one of the most popular and stunning road trips in Europe. A journey through a region that will captivate the traveller from the very first kilometre, thanks to its fascinating history, its delicious cuisine, its stunning Mediterranean coastline and its countless leisure options. In the shadow of the imposing Vesuvius, this fascinating itinerary sets off from the bustling and authentic city of Naples and runs along the Bay of Naples to the magnificent archaeological sites of Pompeii and Herculaneum. Almost two millennia later, the tragic eruption that froze time for entire Roman cities and their inhabitants back in AD 79 is still alive in the local psyche. Take an incredible journey through history and reach the very crater of Vesuvius! The itinerary ends with a tour of the divine Amalfi Coast, declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO, and the Gulf of Sorrento. An exclusive summertime resort since Roman times and frequented by artists and celebrities from around the world, you'll be enthralled by the unusual beauty of vertical landscapes and charming picture-postcard villages painted in pastel colours and perched on jaw-dropping cliffs. Nestled between the sea and the mountains, this delightful tour covers one of the most magnificent and glamorous stretches of the Mediterranean coastline. The stunning Amalfi Coast, with chic locations such as Amalfi, Positano and Ravello, has become the perfect retreat for lovers of the sea and the 'dolce vita'. The landscapes that lead to the Greek ruins of Paestum are world-famous and the local cuisine is spectacular, turning this tour into the dream of bon vivants. And for those who wish to continue exploring, we recommend a hydrofoil trip (in Italian, "aliscafi") to the incredible and exclusive island of Capri. The perfect location to switch off from the hustle-and-bustle of everyday life and revel in unforgettable moments.

Important remarks

- Driving in Naples and/or the Amalfi Coast: 1. We do not recommend driving around the city of Naples, more than anything due to the traffic and having to find car parks, which are often away from tourist areas. 2. On the Amalfi Coast there are two parking options: private parking in a car park, which is expensive, or paid car parks which use automatic machines or the "Easy Park" app in the areas demarcated by the blue line. 3. We advise arriving early to avoid traffic although this is unavoidable, due to the narrow and winding roads. Drive with caution and avoid rush hour.

- Triple rooms in Europe are generally rooms with twin beds or a double, in which a folding bed is installed to accommodate the third person. Due to the inconvenience this causes, we advise against using this option as far the possible.

- The proposed excursions and tours for each day are purely suggestions, as you can tailor the trip to suit your times, tastes and needs.

- A credit card is considered a guarantee, so sometimes you will need one for check-in at hotels.

- Hotels usually have cots available. Otherwise, babies will have to share a bed with an adult.

- To pick up your rental car, you'll need a credit (not debit) card in the name of the person who made the booking, who must also be the named driver of the vehicle.

- Consult the necessary documentation to enter the destinations visited and for transit in the countries where air stopovers are made.

- Suggested round-trip ferry rides are optional and not included in the final price. If you intend to take the car on a ferry, please let the rental company know at the time of pick-up to receive authorisation. Depending on the conditions agreed to in the rental contract and the company you choose, you might be charged a fee payable at the destination.
