Nothing compares to the magic and mystery of Pompeii. You view the seemingly tranquil Mt. Vesuvius and then walk among the remarkably preserved remains of a city buried underneath 30 feet of ash during its violent eruption. A bakery, theatre, gymnasium and public bath all stand sentinels to a time and lifestyle literally sucked breathless in a split second then entombed for a thousand years.

A late lunch precedes your motor tour along Europe's most beautiful seascape. You are then delivered to your picturesque and peaceful Amalfi Home.

With the help of your guide, you fully understand how the working class Romans lived (and died) at the height of the Empire. You further understand why this drive is the "The Postcard" trip in Italy.
