What's included in Private Tour: Pompeii and Positano Day Trip from Rome
(Subject to Option Inclusions)Itinerary
RomePass-by Only
This private tour has been designed for guests staying in Rome who wish to enjoy an overview of the spectacular Amalfi coast and explore the amazing ruins of Pompeii. After being picked up from your centrally-located Rome hotel, you will start your journey south to Italy’s Campania region with your knowledgeable, English-speaking driver in a private, air-conditioned minivan or sedan.
Castelli RomaniPass-by Only
Your voyage begins with a drive through lush farmlands and rolling hills of the Castelli Romani region, just south of Rome. Castelli Romani literally means "Roman Castles," which probably evokes images of stone palaces, fairy tale monarchs, and towers where Rapunzel could let down her hair. In this case, however, the "Castelli Romani" refers to a collection of quaint hilltop villages around Lake Albano and Lake Nemi. This area has always been associated with great food and the simplicity of life. In ancient times, citizens of Rome would come to the Castelli Romani to escape the hustle and bustle and heat of Rome. Today the area is best known for Castel Gandolfo, the summer residence of the Pope, but the entire region is one of great natural beauty with many charming places to visit.
Abbazia Di MontecassinoPass-by Only
Founded by Saint Benedict in 529, Montecassino is one of Europe's oldest monasteries and the birthplace of the Benedictine order. Over the centuries the abbey has suffered numerous disasters, from being sacked by a variety of invaders to being destroyed by an earthquake, and it has been rebuilt numerous times. During WWII, Montecassino abbey was almost completely destroyed during the famous battle that bears its name. After the war, the abbey was carefully rebuilt and reconsecrated by Pope Paul VI in 1964.
