What to do and see in Pompeii, Campania: The Best Self-Guided Tours & Rentals

July 2, 2021 Vivienne Hutton

Pompeii is a Roman town frozen in time, thanks to a devastating eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD. Explore houses from modest to majestic; see Roman shops, baths and brothels; or apply your high-school Latin to the graffiti that's still visible on some of the walls. End your visit at the Villa of the Mysteries, and try to interpret its amazing, bizarre frescoes—scholars have debated their meaning for years.

Used this service on three different visits for excursions and transfers to and from airports, train stations and cruise port. They escorted our whole family to Positano and Pompeii from Rome, and parents to perched villages and country lakes. We’ve recommended to our travel agent and close friends. Last visit we did Appian Way south of Rome, Church of Quo Vadis, and several lesser visited sites.

Because we had to catch a plane we could only do an one hour tour at the National Archiological museum in Naples. Michele Arpa was an exellent guide: he gave us a perfect overview of all the essential historical items in the museum. To do this in one hour you need to have great historical knowledge. Thanks Michele!

The historical atmosphere then changes shape, imbued with the smell of the lemons of the splendid Sorrento peninsula and right here, you can delight your palate through the tasting of this gold in a bottle inside one of the oldest factories of the whole coast. Continuing along the coast, you will begin to see wonderful and colorful little houses overlooking the sea, the emblem of the picturesque Positano, a true pearl of the Amalfi coast. A breathtaking spectacle, a spectacular panorama that will give you the last stop of the tour, through the view from the square to the city gates.

Nico was out tour guide. He was very pleasant and knowledgeable. He was not like previous tour guides that I have had experience with in such that he did not push us towards any particular restaurant or stores. Rather, he gave us general advice and told us which places were not recommended and why. We felt that he had our best interests at heart and not looking for kickbacks like other tour guides.

My husband and I were on vacation in the Amalfi coast last week. We used Amalfi Car Service on three separate occasions. Our first transfer was from Naples train station to Positano, second transfer from Positano to Ravello, and final transfer from Ravello back to Naples. The cars we drove in were all Mercedes—very clean and reliable. The drivers were friendly and very professional. Great customer service by Salvatore, whom I communicated with via email. If you are looking for a private car transportation, do not hesitate to book Amalfi Car Service!!
