What You’ll Experience
Hotel Pickup in Rome
Your day begins with pickup from your Rome hotel.
A private chauffeur will take you to
Urbe Airport, where you meet your licensed pilot and private guide.
Rome from the Air
After takeoff, you may see major Roman landmarks from a distance, including the Colosseum, Roman Forum, and St. Peter’s Basilica, with Michelangelo’s Dome standing above Vatican City.
Historic Rome is a no-fly zone, so the helicopter does not hover over these monuments, but they may be visible from the route.
Frascati, Castelli Romani, and the Coast
Before leaving the Rome area, you may see Frascati and the Castelli Romani, known for rolling green hills and lakes.
As the helicopter gains altitude, the route continues toward the coast and south into Campania.
Mount Vesuvius Flyover
Near Naples, Mount Vesuvius comes into view.
This still-active volcano is one of the most important natural landmarks in the region. If conditions allow, the pilot may fly over Vesuvius, giving you a view into the crater that shaped the history of Pompeii.
During the flight, passengers are equipped with
headphones and a microphone so you can communicate with your guide.
Pompeii Landing and Walking Tour
The helicopter lands near Pompeii for a private walking tour.
Pompeii was founded around 80 BC and buried under approximately 6 meters of ash after the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD. The city was rediscovered in 1599 and became a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1997.
The site covers about
163 acres, with more still being excavated. During the approximately
2-hour tour, a local archaeologist guide explains daily life, commerce, and the events of the eruption.
Amalfi Coast from Above
After Pompeii, the flight continues toward the Amalfi Coast.
The coast is often best seen from the water or the air, and this route gives you an aerial view of steep mountain towns, Mediterranean water, coastal infrastructure, and private coves that are difficult to see from land.
Capri Landing and Free Time
The helicopter then continues to Capri.
You will have approximately 3 hours to explore independently, shop, enjoy lunch, or spend time near the sea. Capri is known for local artisans, sailors, food, limoncello, rugged coastline, and views across the water.
If you would like lunch, your guide can help with a local restaurant suggestion. Capri is known for limoncello, and many restaurants make their own.
Return to Rome
After Capri, you return by helicopter to Urbe Airport.
Your chauffeur will then take you back to your Rome hotel.
