This adventure takes you on a scenic journey through southern Italy’s most stunning landscapes and historic sites.
Our tour starts in Naples, where we board a comfortable motor coach with a knowledgeable tour guide. As we drive along the winding roads of the Amalfi Coast, we see breathtaking views of the Tyrrhenian Sea and the colorful villages clinging to the cliffs.
Our first stop is in the town of Amalfi, where we explore the narrow streets and sample some of the local limoncello. A fresh cream pastry fills our hearts as we tour the Amalfi Cathedral. Next, we board a tour boat from the marina and cruise South to the port of Salerno.
The second half of the tour takes us to the ancient city of Pompeii. Before our tour, we stop for a wonderful lunch at the Vesuvius Restaurant. With lunch complete, we walk down the street and are amazed by the well-preserved ruins of the Roman civilization.
