Early Entry & Special Access Pompeii & Amalfi Coast Tour from Rome

Why Take This Tour?

Southern Italy deserves more than a snapshot—and this curated day trip from Rome ensures you don’t just see it, you feel it. With early entry to Pompeii as it opens and special access to the Villa of Mysteries, you’ll explore ancient streets in the quiet hours before the crowds arrive. Then it’s off to the Amalfi Coast, where sunlit cliffs, salt-laced air, and pastel towns offer a dose of la dolce vita. If you only have one day to experience southern Italy—make it this one.

Step Into the Past—Before the World Wakes Up

Your day begins before dawn—but with good reason. You’ll depart Rome early enough to reach Pompeii as the gates open. While other tours wait in line, you’re already inside—with a certified archaeologist leading the way. Walk the ancient streets in near silence, stand where Roman life was frozen in time, and feel the goosebumps rise as you pass ash-covered homes, temples, and even a brothel. You'll also see the House of the Vettii, a massive Ancient Roman home built around the time of the eruption.

Then something few visitors ever see. You’ll venture beyond the standard route and into the Villa of the Mysteries, a private home open to Walks of Italy guests and known for its vividly preserved frescoes scholars are still debating the meaning of today.

Trade Ruins for Amalfi Coast Magic

After time-traveling in Pompeii, your journey winds along the world-famous Amalfi Coast. Cliff-hugging roads, lemon groves, and blue-on-blue vistas guide your way to the coast’s most iconic towns.

You'll stop in Sorrento and have up to two hours to explore on your own. Your guide will offer personal tips and local favorites to make the most of your afternoon. Enjoy a few hours to sip limoncello on a sunny terrace, browse artisan boutiques, dip your toes in the Mediterranean, indulge in a fresh seafood lunch, or soak in views of the Bay of Naples and Mount Vesuvius.
