Pompeii Ravello Amalfi tour: Private car your pace

Three coastal landmarks in one day, moving at your own speed

A private car tour from Salerno takes you to Pompeii, Ravello, and Amalfi over six to eight hours, with a driver and air-conditioned vehicle waiting between stops so you explore each site independently. You'll walk the ancient Roman ruins, see Villa Rufolo's sea views, and wander Amalfi's streets and cathedral at whatever pace suits you, then return along the scenic SS163 Amalfitana coast road.

The experience

You start in Salerno and head south toward Pompeii, a 40-minute drive that passes Mount Vesuvius. Once there, you're free to spend as long as you want among the excavated streets and buildings of the ancient Roman city: no guide narrating, no group keeping pace. Your driver stays with the car and picks you up when you're ready to move on.

From Pompeii, the route climbs into the hills to Ravello, where you can walk through Villa Rufolo's gardens and stand at the terraces overlooking the sea. The village itself is small enough to cover on foot, so you choose which streets to wander and which viewpoints to linger at. Amalfi comes next, a working coastal town with the Cathedral of Sant'Andrea as its centerpiece. You can step inside, browse the narrow streets for lunch or a coffee, or simply sit and watch the harbor.

The return to Salerno follows the SS163 Amalfitana, a road that clings to the cliffs and passes through villages like Atrani, Minori, and Vietri sul Mare. You can ask your driver to stop for photos if something catches your eye. The whole day is built around your interests and your timing: no fixed schedule at any stop, no rushing to meet a group departure.
