About the trip

This Riviera Travel escorted tour begins in Sorrento, a town perched on cliff edges overlooking the Bay of Naples. A guided walking tour traces its cobbled lanes past cafés and marinas, followed by a free afternoon to browse elegant shops or sample local lemon-based gelato.

The itinerary unfolds with visits to Pompeii and Herculaneum, ancient Roman towns preserved beneath volcanic ash but telling quite different stories. Pompeii offers extensive ruins including frescoes, mosaics and even graffiti, while Herculaneum surprises with remarkably vibrant colours and well-preserved buildings, due to deeper ash coverage. In between, an authentic farm lunch presents mozzarella-making demonstrations and tastings of olive oil and limoncello.

Coastal beauty features from a boat trip around Capri, with its hillside town and yacht-dotted harbour, to the Amalfi Coast's cliffs and lemon groves, passing Positano and reaching Ravello's steep terraces and the medieval Rufolo Gardens, famed for their views. The tour ends with a vineyard lunch in the shadow of Mount Vesuvius before the return journey home.
