Tour Overview

Southern Italy is famous for beautiful beaches, picturesque towns and, of course, wonderful pizzas and gelatos. The Amalfi Coast offers all this and more. From our family-run hotel, we strike out on foot, bus and boat to explore the dramatic coastline, ruins of Pompeii, and the winding streets of Positano and Amalfi. We also try our hand at ceramics, paper making and even create an authentic Neapolitan pizza. Add to this a trip up the mighty volcano Mount Vesuvius and, in season, a thrilling kayak excursion along the coastline and you have a week that will live long in the memory.

Highlights

  • Live ‘la dolce vita’ with your family on the Amalfi Coast: a week of culture, history and scenic views

  • Enjoy warm Italian hospitality from the Acampora family at Hotel Due Torri

  • Whip up a storm in the kitchen with fun cooking demonstrations from the in-house chef

  • Hop back 2,000 years on a visit to Pompeii and get close to the Vesuvius crater

  • Explore one of the most desirable coastlines in Europe by boat and kayak

  • Walk a section of the Path of the Gods, one of the great coastal hikes in Europe

Day 1 : Start Agerola

Location: Agerola

Accommodation: Hotel

Meals Included: Dinner

This trip starts in the village of Bomerano, on the Agerola plains above the Amalfi Coast. Enjoy a warm welcome from our local hosts, the Acampora family, before settling in.

Day 2 : Boat Trip From Amalfi To Positano; Stroll Among The Winding Streets Of Positano

Location: Positano

Accommodation: Hotel

Meals Included: Breakfast, Dinner

After a 30-minute private transfer to Amalfi, we take the boat along the coast to Positano, a near vertical town of colourful buildings reached by a network of ancient paths and tracks. On the journey, we enjoy beautiful, classic views of the Amalfi Coast and once in Positano we start exploring this picturesque town, strolling among the winding streets. There is time to visit the beautiful cathedral, enjoy a swim in the blue sea or visit the boutiques for great shopping opportunities. We also enjoy an optional lunch in a pizzeria and a refreshing Italian gelato before returning in the late afternoon to Bomerano by boat and minibus.

Day 3 : Full Day To Visit The Impressive Sites Of Pompeii And Vesuvius

Location: Pompei

Accommodation: Hotel

Meals Included: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

Today we descend from the Agerola hills and head to the famous volcano that looms over Naples, Mount Vesuvius. The vehicle will take you to an altitude of approximately 3,280ft (1,000m) and from there to the crater you will need to ascend on a path which is approximately 490ft (150m) long and quite steep in places. A local guide will then take you on a short walk along the crater rim, while explaining the fascinating history of Vesuvius and its volcanic activity. Please note, during adverse weather conditions, such as fog, storms or heavy rain, the local authorities may deicide to restrict or prevent access to Vesuvius. In the event this inclusion cannot be offered on your departure, we will take you to Herculaneum to visit its perfectly preserved remains and virtual museum, which give an amazing insight into the life of an ancient Roman city.



In the afternoon we transfer to the city of Pompeii, once a thriving port town until the catastrophic eruption of Vesuvius spanning two days in 79 CE, during which the city was buried in ash and pumice. Lost for 1,700 years, Pompeii is now a Unesco World Heritage site as the perfectly preserved remains give us an amazing insight into life in a Roman city, complete with bathhouses, bakeries and homes – some of which still have walls adorned with detailed frescoes. You may take time to explore the site independently, but we recommend opting for a detailed tour accompanied by a local guide, which can be hired locally for approximately €10 per person depending on the group size. We return to the hotel by bus in the late afternoon.

Day 4 : Visit Mozzarella Producer And Discover Picturesque Amalfi; Evening Pizza-Making Class

Location: Amalfi

Accommodation: Hotel

Meals Included: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

This morning, we take a short walk to visit a cheese factory in Agerola, where we can sample delicious freshly made mozzarella, prepared in front of us by hand following a centuries-old recipe.



We then depart for a visit to Amalfi, which was popular with the British upper classes in Edwardian times. The large duomo (cathedral) dominates the town with its brightly coloured tiles so typical of the region. We have a few hours to explore the wonderful historic centre and alleys before taking an interesting tour of the Paper Museum, which celebrates the long-established paper-making tradition in Amalfi. The guide will explain how the Amalfi paper was once made and you can experiment yourself, using ancient paper-making machines. We then make our way back to the hotel for a pizza-making class before dinner.

Day 5 : Free Day To Relax By The Pool Or For Sightseeing

Location: Amalfi

Accommodation: Hotel

Meals Included: Breakfast

Today is free to relax by the hotel pool or at one of the local beaches. Alternatively, you could opt to take a day trip to Capri and explore the island on foot, by boat and chairlift to visit the network of small pedestrian streets, the remains of the Roman Villa Jovis, and the Faraglioni (rock stacks) and Blue Grotto. Another option is to spend the day in Ravello, a peaceful town high on the cliffs above Amalfi, famous for its gardens and impressive cathedral. Your tour leader will not always join these optional activities but will help you to arrange transport locally.

Day 6 : Ceramic Painting And Walk Along A Short Section Of The Path Of The Gods

Location: Amalfi

Accommodation: Hotel

Meals Included: Breakfast, Lunch

The Amalfi Coast is also renowned for its colourful ceramics and this morning we visit a local artisan's bottega, where the kids can paint a pottery souvenir. Later, we set off along a short section of one of the finest walks in the world: the Path of the Gods. The route follows the contours of the land with amazing views of the Amalfi coastline far below. In season, the meadows are carpeted with flowers and the coastal waters teem with cruisers and pleasure boats. Please note, the terrain can be rocky or uneven at times and there are parts that are a little exposed and therefore not suitable for severe vertigo sufferers. After the walk, we return to the hotel on foot where we will have lunch by the pool (included, weather permitted).

Day 7 : Kayak Along The Stunning Shores Of The Amalfi Coast; Free Time At The Beach

Location: Amalfi

Accommodation: Hotel

Meals Included: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

After a scenic 30-minute ride down to Amalfi, we enjoy a half-day kayak along the Amalfi Coast. This is the perfect finale for the trip as it allows us to explore the coastline from the most spectacular angle: in the midst of the sparkling blue sea. After a short introductory lesson on how to kayak and safety at sea, we set off, led by an experienced local guide, towards the Marmorata waterfall. The route will take us along the finest Amalfi beaches, under natural rock arches and into sea caves, giving us the opportunity to admire the old watch towers that dot the entire length of this coast. Those not wishing to participate can wait for the rest of the group at the lovely beach where the activity starts. Please note that kayaking is normally possible only between the months of May and September. At other times of the year or in the event of bad weather and rough sea conditions, your leader will organise an alternative activity such as a memorable day trip to Sorrento or Capri. We return to the hotel in the evening and enjoy a delicious farewell group dinner.

Day 8 : End Agerola

Location: Agerola

Meals Included: Breakfast

The adventure ends after breakfast. We say a fond farewell to the hotel, which may feel a bit like a second home by now, and begin our return journey home.

Accommodation

We spend seven nights at Hotel Due Torri, a mid-sized hotel run by the welcoming Acampora family, who turn out authentic Campanian dishes in the restaurant and put on a show with their fun pizza-making demonstrations.



It sits in Bomerano, a peaceful village that forms part of the Agerola municipality, up in the hills and away from the often-bustling Amalfi Coast.



Being higher up, the hotel benefits from cooler nights, although beaches are not too far away. There is a small heated outdoor pool (usually open from mid-April to mid-October) and energy is generated by a solar panel system.



The 41 rooms vary in style and size and are spread across two main buildings and two cosy apartments a short walk from the main hotel. A limited number of upgraded rooms, which include a hot tub, power shower and fridge, are also available for a supplement payable before departure. Please ask your sales representative for further information.

Reviews from travellers on this tour

Amalfi Pompei & Pizza

A lovely holiday. A week of sunshine in late October. Great views, great food, fantastic historical and cultural sites.

AMALFI COAST: POMPEII & PIZZA - FAMILY HOLIDAY

This is a great introduction to small-group holidays with lots of elements sure to appeal to families. There was time to swim on most of the days either at the hotel pool or at a beach and this was popular with the children in the group I joined.

La Dolce Vita

This has been one of our best family holidays ever. The itinerary is perfectly balanced and accommodated all levels very well. Eduardo is a faultless guide and manages to blend the group together well. He is particularly adept at bringing the children out of themselves. The hotel in Bomerano is small enough to have a family friendly feel an yet has everything you could ask for. They go the extra mile with the children's cooking nights. We extended our stay with a few days in Sorrento and a night in Naples which was well worth it and enabled us to consolidate our appreciation of the region.

Amalfi Family Adventure

An excellent trip that was very well organised and gave us opportunity to experience many of the key places of interest in the region.

AMALFI COAST: POMPEII & PIZZA - FAMILY HOLIDAY

This is the perfect family holiday - great Italian food, perfect weather, friendly family-run hotel and fun days full of activities. It's also a short flight down to Napoli and and easy one hour transfer to the hotel for the week.

Amalfi Coast: Pompeii and Pizza

Trying to entertain an energetic 11 year old and their mum is no easy task but this holiday did exactly that! A perfect blend of culture and activity along with an experienced tour guide on what level of information to give, what pace to go and keep the interest of all ages. We loved it! Molto Beno

AMALFI COAST: POMPEII & PIZZA - FAMILY HOLIDAY

A wonderful holiday and some great memories. The organisation was fabulous and the knowledge and enthusiasm of our guide really added to the whole experience.

Perfect pizza, heavenly Herculaneum

Brilliant planning meant that every day kept the kids occupied, entertained and interested. We loved Herculaneum, Pompeii and all the little towns. The walk of the gods was one of my favorite bits, which was a surprise to me. The scenery and lunch that day was phenomenal! The hotel was lovely - small clean and friendly. Excellent food and the kids loved the pool. Well worth the money.

AMALFI COAST: POMPEII & PIZZA - FAMILY HOLIDAY

We had a great time and would definitely recommend this trip to friends and family. The children were entertained throughout which meant we were happy too. The week was mixed with fun activities for the children (and adults), such as cookery demonstrations, pizza making and ceramic painting, as well as sight seeing key places along the Amalfi coast. Eduardo our Leader was fabulous - a real character. He looked after us well and make sure we were all content.  Highly recommended!

AMALFI COAST: POMPEII & PIZZA - FAMILY HOLIDAY

This was our first 'family type holiday', and we were not sure what we would think.  However, we should not have worried as from the second we were picked up to when we left we were looked after and entertained.  We would not hesitate to recommend this trip to families of all ages.
