🔄 What Makes This Tour Different

At $230 for 5 hours including transport and archaeological guide, it provides comprehensive coverage for Amalfi Coast visitors who want professional commentary without the logistics of independent travel.
🏛️ What You'll See

- The Basilica — ancient courthouse and business center where Romans conducted legal and commercial affairs
- Thermal Baths — public bathing complexes showing the sophisticated Roman heating and water systems

🗺️ The Itinerary
Pickup from your Positano accommodation or nearest accessible point begins the 5-hour experience. Travel approximately 1.5 hours by air-conditioned vehicle to Pompeii Archaeological Site via coastal and inland routes. Enter through skip-the-line access and begin the 2-hour guided tour at the Forum, proceeding to the Basilica and thermal baths (45 minutes). Walking through the preserved residential areas with original frescoes and mosaics intact provides an unfiltered view into Roman domestic architecture. Continue to various houses and streets to understand daily life before the 79 AD eruption (75 minutes). Return transport to Positano takes approximately 1.5 hours, completing the full-day experience.
