One of the best days out from Rome is a trip to Pompeii, the famous archaeological site.

The area was literally frozen in time, with the scene still the exact same when Pompeii was rediscovered.

Your guide will show you the very best hidden gems here in Pompeii, and regale you with anecdotes from this fascinating city. Learn about the discoveries historians have made here over the years, glimpse the frescos on the walls of the villas, and follow in the footsteps of the ancient Romans…

From here, once you’ve had your fill of this remarkable ancient space, you’ll head to the breathtaking coastal town of Positano. Nestled on the beautiful Amalfi Coast, the town has stunning colorful houses, incredible sea views and a mountainous backdrop. You’ll have two hours of free time to enjoy as you please - snap some scenic photographs, grab some lunch, wander around the boutique shops and generally soak up the peaceful atmosphere.

Limoncello is a tasty treat in Italy, and Positano do it well. Included in your tour is a trip to a Limoncello shop in the town, complete with a Limoncello tasting - can you handle the mixture of tart and sweet?! You’ll then make your way back to Rome, having experienced some of the best of Italian history and a tasty lemon-flavored treat…

It's also a great way to discover the coast in one day and then head back to Rome.

This 12-hour tour is limited to a maximum of eight participants . It starts when you're picked up right at your hotel by an English-speaking driver. From here, you'll start your journey, beginning with a two-hour guided tour of Pompeii Archaeological Park, one of Italy's most famous sites, and then a stop for lunch in Sorrento and to admire the views over the Bay of Naples.

On your way to Positano from Sorrento, you'll make a stop to enjoy the views. When you finally arrive in Positano, you'll have free time to walk around, shop, and explore the narrow cobblestone streets to discover boutiques and historical buildings. If you're visiting in summer, you can head to the beach and enjoy a swim.

This tour also stops at sights around Positano and offers opportunities to see Positano from a distance and to fully appreciate the beauty of this town.

At the end of the day, your driver will bring you back to your hotel in Rome.

2. From Rome to Positano by Bus

For speed and convenience, buses are your best public transportation option - plus they are cheaper than taking a combination of trains or ferries to get to your destination.

Direct buses to Positano leave from the Rome Tiburtina train station once per day at 7am. The Autolinee Marozzi buses are comfortable, offering cozy seats, air-conditioning, and huge windows for panoramic views of the coast. Pick a seat on the right side of the bus for the best views, but be aware the roads are very narrow, and the bus drives close to the edge of the cliffs – if you're afraid of heights, this might turn out to be a beautiful but very scary ride.

The buses stop for 15 minutes near Naples , so people can grab a quick cold drink or stretch their legs before the final section of the trip. Though the ride is supposed to take four hours , it often takes at least one more in summer because of bumper-to-bumper traffic. Make sure you book a ticket in advance to guarantee a seat, as the buses fill up fast.

As with other transportation options, these buses only run between June and September. After September, your best option might be to take a bus or train to Salerno instead and then catch a local bus from there. But keep in mind this will make your trip longer and often inconvenient, as the transfer times might not match.

3. From Rome to Positano by Train and Bus

Getting to the Amalfi Coast by train is a little tricky, but you'll be rewarded with great views along the way, so it's worth a try. Please keep in mind that there are no direct trains, so you'll have to change transport a few times to make your way from Rome to Positano.

Start your trip at the Roma Termini railway station , where you'll need to catch a train to the Naples Stazione Centrale railway station. The Frecciarossa and Italo high-speed trains cover this route in just one hour and 10 minutes – and since they depart from Rome several times per hour, it's almost impossible not to find a seat.

Once you arrive in Naples, you'll have to switch to the regional Circumvesuviana train to continue towards Sorrento. This route takes an additional one hour and 10 minutes, except for the DD Express trains, which stop fewer times along the way and arrive in Sorrento after 50 minutes. Reservations are not needed on this train, and while tickets are very affordable (prices in the single digits), the train has no air-conditioning and very little space for luggage.

A better option is the Campania Express Train , which only runs from mid-March to the end of October. Trains take just 40 minutes between the two cities, have air-conditioned cars, allow for seat reservations, and offer plenty of luggage storage. Tickets are about double the price of regular trains but more than worth it if you're traveling during the peak of summer heat.

Once you get to Sorrento, find the SITA bus stop just outside the train station. This is a local bus, so no seats are guaranteed for the 40-minute ride to Positano. If you have a choice of seats, sit on the right side of the bus for great views over the blue waters of the Mediterranean.

4. From Rome to Positano by Train and Ferry

If you're visiting Positano between March and October , you will have the option to arrive at your destination via ferry. This not only offers a fun ride on the deep-blue waters of the Amalfi Coast, but also a stunning view of the cliff town from down below, as you approach the port in Politano. Ferries don't run during the colder months because the sea is too rough.

To cover this route, you'll have to catch a Freccia Rossa TAV train in Rome and continue on to Salerno, where you'll switch to a ferry .

There are two ports in Salerno: the Molo Concordia pier, right across the street from the train station, and the Molo Manfredi, a few kilometers away (you will need a taxi, or be ready to walk there).

There are two major ferry companies operating from these ports: the NLG service and the Travelmar service . Between the two, there are over 60 ferries covering the route every week. If you're buying tickets online in advance, make sure you check the departure port for your ferry, so you're prepared and don't run late.

Ferries take anywhere from 35 minutes to just over an hour to cover the route. The port in Positano is at the bottom of the hill, right on the beach. To reach your hotel and the center of town, you'll have to climb up the long stairs that start right at the shoreline - if you have restrictions or any kind of issue that makes climbing difficult, this might not be the best transportation option for you.

5. From Rome to Positano by Car

Just over 273 kilometers separate Rome from Positano. In normal traffic conditions, that's about 3.5 hours of driving, first on the A1 Autostrada, then the A3 Autostrada. Italian highways operate on a toll basis, so be ready to stop and pay along the way.

Driving the Amalfi coast road is not for the faint of heart. Once you leave the Autostrada and get into smaller mountain roads, the road becomes narrow and sharp, with curves that can unsettle even the best of drivers. This is especially noticeable in summer, when the roads are filled with not only cars, but also large buses, and you will have to negotiate the corkscrew bends by sometimes driving backward and against the cliffs to let buses turn. As the roads only have two lanes, accidents or even rock falls on the road can also lead to traffic jams that last for hours.

If you're ready to brave the roads, make sure you rent a small car (easier to maneuver the turns on narrow areas).

On your way to Positano, stop by the Abbey of Monte Cassino, a 6th-century monastery (one of the two largest in Italy) that sits on top of a hill surrounded by magnificent gardens.

This two-hour city tour meets at the Spanish Steps in the city center twice during the peak season. They offer morning and afternoon tours.

In the morning, your English-speaking tour guide will lead a group of no more than 20 through the historic center. Along the way, they will provide a brief overview of ancient Roman history and modern daily life.

Some of the sights you will visit date back to the Roman Empire, including the Column of Marcus Aurelius, the Temple of Hadrian, the Pantheon, Piazza Navona, and Castel Sant’Angelo with a view of St. Peter’s Basilica.

If you take the afternoon tour, expect to explore different landmarks like an ancient Roman Aqueduct, the Trevi Fountain, the Roman Forum, the Imperial Forums, and outside the Colosseum.

Best Food Tours Rome

Pizza making class.

Booking a pizza-making class on a vacation to Rome is a no-brainer. This local, unique experience is something the entire family (and your taste buds) will enjoy! Rome4Kids Tours runs some of the best family tours in the city. They offer both private and group pizza-making classes in Rome for kids .

This one-hour workshop is located in a real pizzeria near Piazza Navona so it’s in a super central location. The class is held twice a day around lunch and dinner time. It is the perfect amount of time for the attention spans of young children. They will love learning new cooking skills in a fun, hands-on way. 

Drinks are included and, of course, you get to eat your creation at the end! 

Gelato Making Class

Everyone knows the best way to enjoy pizza is to follow it with a scoop or two of gelato afterward. Learn how to make authentic Italian gelato (different from ice cream!) in this highly-rated,  private gelato-making class .

Private classes allow the chef to give you special attention. Families will have ample time to ask questions about the gelato-making process. Everyone can wear fun aprons and chef hats and try a second gelato flavor in addition to the one you will make together.

Rome Culinary Food Tour

A walking tour of the city’s top culinary delights is one of the best Rome tours you can take, with or without kids. Secret Food Tours runs fantastic food tours all over the world. We highly recommend adding their top-rated Rome food tour  to your vacation.

Sample Roman pasta, authentic cannoli, lots of ham, salami, cheese, fresh pizza, gelato, and a signature secret dish. The company offers a private option which is a sensible idea when traveling with younger children. You can easily skip visiting coffee shops for espressos and wine pairings if you would prefer.

This tour lasts over three hours, which is great value! Another option is a tour with a private guide. This will allow you to travel at your own pace to make sure the whole family has a great time.

Twilight Trastevere Food Tour

Most will agree the best area for authentic Roman dishes and a true Rome experience is the neighborhood of Trastevere across the River Tiber. Check out this  perfect tour of the culinary scene in Trastevere at Twilight  if you’re traveling with older kids.

On this incredible four-hour tour, dine out on the best street food at restaurants like Da Enzo al 29 and ‘Spirito Divino . Expect to visit ancient wine cellars and listen to interesting stories about the neighborhood as you walk through it. You will learn how to spot fake gelato while gorging on the best gourmet scoops you’ve ever tasted.

It’s hands down one of the best tours in Rome for families with teenage kids , though children aged four and up are very welcome. You can choose the group tour option or enjoy a private tour to explore Trastevere your way!

Riding Tours in Rome

Bike ride at night.

Rome’s historical center is  huge . It’s full of incredible archaeological sites and iconic landmarks which would take you many days to explore on foot. Get out of the midday heat and save little legs by booking this cool  e-bike tour of Rome by night !

Over three hours, you can tick off many iconic spots on your Rome hit list as well as have a fun time with your family. Just some of the stops include Oppian Hill (one of the best views of Rome!), the Roman Forum, Piazza Venezia, Trevi Fountain, the Spanish Steps, Castel Sant’Angelo, Piazza Navona, the Pantheon, and Capitoline Hill.

Enjoy the sunset as well as the architecture of this beautiful city. This is one of the best Rome kids tours because they offer options for kids of all ages. You can request child seats, a trailer bike, or a child-sized bike so no one is left out.

Rome Golf Cart Tours

Another fun way to explore Rome on wheels is to book a golf cart tour for the whole family. Venture on a  golf cart tour along Rome’s Appian Way or explore Rome’s seven hills on a golf cart tour with Rolling Rome .

On a two-and-a-half-hour tour of the  Appia Antica  Roman road, head out of the crowded city and see important ancient sites. You will travel past the Aurelian Walls and the Baths of Caracalla followed by an underground tour of the Catacombs of Rome.

On the three-hour tour of Rome’s hills, you will visit over a dozen places including the famous Mouth of Truth from  Roman Holiday,  the Arch of Janus, and the Knights of Malta keyhole. Most of these spots are in or close to the historic center on top of famous Roman peaks like Capitoline, Aventine, and Palatine Hill.

Both of these tours of Rome are private. Not only are they two of the best kids’ tours of Rome, but they are both ideal if you’re traveling with older family members with limited mobility too. 

History Tours in Rome

Gladiator school.

Rome’s Gladiator School  is exactly as awesome as it sounds. We are sure your kids will be talking about this experience for years.

Known as  Gruppo Storico Romano  in Italian, your children can take part in a two-hour lesson where they will learn how to become gladiators. They will be just as fierce as those who fought in the Colosseum during the times of Ancient Rome.

Passionate child-friendly guides with years of experience will teach your kids about the history of gladiatorial fights. They are provided with armor and (wooden) weapons as instructors teach them the skills necessary to ‘compete’ in one of the ‘bloody’ games at the end of the session.

Free drinks, a small snack, and free entrance to the Gladiator Museum of Rome are included in this experience.

Sistine Chapel

Visiting the Vatican Museums and the Sistine Chapel can be a busy, overwhelming experience for adults, let alone kids! But you can’t visit Rome with kids without witnessing the beauty of Michelangelo’s Sistine Chapel.

Make the most of your visit to the holy Vatican City by booking an early morning express tour of the Sistine Chapel  or a  Vatican Museums and Sistine Chapel tour  with Context Travel.

Both tours offer skip-the-line tickets. The early morning express tour of the Sistine Chapel is semi-private for up to six people and lasts one hour and 45 minutes. On the Vatican tour of both the museums and the Sistine Chapel, you can book the small-group or private option which lasts around three hours.

There are two of the best tours in Rome for families visiting Vatican City. You can choose the tour that makes sense for the age and interests of your kids. We promise your family will be glad you booked ahead and aren’t stuck waiting in a huge line outside in the baking sun!

Visiting Rome without a stop at the Colosseum is like visiting Australia’s Great Barrier Reef but not snorkeling. It has to be done! Luckily, the scale and history of this Seventh Wonder of the World are sure to impress even the most unfazed kids.

If you want to take a Colosseum family tour, there are so many great ones. This express Colosseum tour for kids  is a classic. The private family tour lasts two-and-a-half hours and includes a skip-the-line ticket, games, a treasure hunt, and prizes to engage little ones. 

Booking a private, underground Colosseum tour will give you access to areas of this ancient ruin which are usually restricted to the general. Both the  underground tour of the Colosseum  and the  underground Colosseum tour with LivTours include skip-the-line tickets.

On either tour, you can visit the underground where animals were kept for gladiator fights, all levels of the structure, access to the exhibition, and further exploration at the Roman Forum.

Visiting the subterranean burial chambers of Rome’s Catacombs is a fun thing to do with children who are intrigued by spooky and macabre places. One of the best tours in Rome for families of the Catacombs is this  private Catacombs tour .

With over 2,000 years of history underneath Rome, it is a great place to learn about Roman gods, pagan temples, and Christian crypts. There are even graves of some of the first popes in the Rome Catacombs!

This tour goes the extra mile by offering luxury transfers to the city center. It lasts three hours and since it’s a private tour, you can linger at places or skip whatever you want.

Day Trips in Rome

Only two and a half hours south of Rome, Pompeii is the perfect place for a fascinating and educational day trip. However, the hassle of renting a car and driving on windy Italian roads is no one’s idea of fun!

LivTours offers a fantastic  semi-private, small-group day tour of Pompeii  or you can book a  private day tour to Pompeii and Capua with Tours of Pompeii.

Pompeii is an ancient Roman city near Naples whose residents tragically perished in the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79AD. They were preserved under the ash for over a century until excavations began and unearthed this window to the past.

LivTours works with an archaeologist in Pompeii who will show you around the site and answer any questions. Tours are limited to six people and include transfers to and from Rome in a luxury van.

Tours of Pompeii also includes transfers but has an extra stop in Capua, a city north of Naples with some fabulous ruins. This is also an opportunity to visit the second-largest Roman amphitheater after the Colosseum and all the top sites in Pompeii including the Vettii House, the Baths, the Forum, and the House of Faunus. 

Ostia Antica

Do you only have space in your itinerary for a half-day tour? Viator offers five-hour  private tours of Ostia Antica from Rome . 

This ancient Roman port town is only 17 miles away from Rome. Kids of all ages (even those in strollers!) are welcome on this tour which includes hotel pick-up, a driver, and a child-friendly guide.

Check out the ancient Roman buildings in Ostia Antica including the necropolis, dye houses, cleaners, large baths, city center, apartments, and bakery!

It’s a completely flexible tour and you could easily turn it into a full-day trip. The beach is only two miles away from Ostia Antica so it’s the perfect place to enjoy a family picnic.

Enjoy the Best Tours in Rome for Families on Your Vacation

Whether you’re looking for private tours with a dedicated, expert guide or budget-friendly tours for small groups, you won’t regret booking as many tours as possible on your family vacation. They take the pressure off you to entertain and inform so that you get to be hands-off, learn something, and enjoy a fun tour too. Happy kids plus happy parents is a win-win!

Hopefully, this list of the best tours in Rome for families has given you plenty of inspiration when planning your trip to this ancient city.

Rumero have also offered simialar excursions from Ischia in the past.

Thanks for that but unfortunately nothing around the required dates.

You can't. There are no roads down along the beach and where the ferry comes in. You walk up, and the porters can be paid to take your bags. The closest place where a taxi or the little buses can be reached is Piazza Mulini. From the ferry port up to there is not too far and not too steep, but you do walk it.

Hi There, Thanks for that.
