- Pompeii Archaeological Park - Upon arriving in Pompeii, the Skip-the-Line tickets to this ancient site will be invaluable as they allow you to bypass the long queues and step into this historical treasure of the Roman era. Here, you will be greeted by a local, expert, English-speaking guide who is familiar with all the hidden gems and fascinating stories waiting to be uncovered.

The breathtaking coastlines will captivate you as the mountains plunge into the sea and charming villages ascend the slopes like grapevines.
- Positano - The winding roads will take you to Positano, one of the most stunning seaside villages on the Amalfi Coast. Here, you will have free time to wander the winding streets lined with artisanal local shops or simply relax and enjoy the stunning view while sipping the local specialty, limoncello!

Best Way to Spend the Day - Rob was so knowledgeable and funny. It was so informative and I learned more than expected. It opened my mind up to so much I didn’t know I’d learn. It was fun, a good leg day workout, and my best friend and I couldn’t think of a better day trip.

Pompeii & Amalfi w/ Sabina & Giovanni - Fantastic!! - The tour was a really great experience! We thought we would be exhausted after the thirteen hour tour but it was nicely balanced between walking and the drives between sites. It was super easy to find them in the morning and our guide made sure we were all back on the bus after each stop. The tour was well thought out, we had lots of chances to eat and stop for the bathroom. Our tour guide Sabina was really great, very kind, helpful and gave great information about what we were seeing/going to see. Our driver Giovanni and the shuttle drivers were very experienced and kept us on the busy streets the whole way. Overall a really great tour and highly recommend what we did which was Pompeii and the Amalfi coast (the coast in my opinion is unmissable, so beautiful). I would recommend doing a tour like this after you’ve been in Rome a few days and are ready to explore beyond Rome.

Excellent guide and driver - Poorly conceived tour itinerary. - It’s so hard to give this tour the honest review that it deserves, as the staff who ran it at every point were faultless! Our tour guide was Viviana and she was simply amazing. Our driver was Enrico who was similarly wonderful. At Pompeii we were lucky enough to have the excellent expert guide of Bernadetta.
The problem with the tour was the design of the day. I totally expect that the day will be a long one, but combining Pompeii with Positano is ill conceived. The two are simply too far apart and the logistics of getting a full bus load of people into Positano with shuttles adds to the time. Really, a more accurate description of the tour should be “Pompeii, Positano and 9 hours on a bus looking at Italian freeways”. The day was almost 14 hours long, with one 20 minute rest stop either way and 20 minutes for lunch. The road travel is so long that they even pre-order lunch ahead of time, so it can be eaten on the bus if required. Take out 2 hours for Pompeii and 90 minutes for Positano and that’s a long time on the road looking out a bus window. I loved seeing Pompeii again, Positano is over rated but the investment of time on the road to do both in one day is not worth it. I would not recommend this particular tour unless you desperately want to see both.

Hard to Ignore… - A bit weird. The Tour Guide kept telling us her personal business including that she isn’t really a legal Tour Guide. Something about not being licensed. She became irate with (and went chasing after) a few of the people in our group a few different times - once because they left the group to use the restroom facilities we passed by at Pompeii. She had a very exaggerated Italian accent with tons of rolling and rolling her R’s - it became irritating very quickly. The bus driver was fine and the scenery was fabulous. Just had to keep trying to ignore the ramblings of the ‘guide’…

Book with a Different Company! - Trip was overall very disorganized. Our tour group leader had no idea what was going on, and was very confusing throughout. Multiple people were getting lost in our group because she was so unclear with what was going on. We almost left people on multiple occasions because she could not give clear times or instructions.
When you stop for lunch they try force you to eat at what is essentially a gas station with the worst food. The description said we would have time to go get lunch, and when we asked when we need to return for lunch to make sure we don’t miss the bus, the tour leader refused to tell us a time that the bus would leave telling us we would be leaving in 5 minutes, trying to force us to eat at their gas station restaurant they partner with. We went and got food anyways, and made it back in plenty of time (30 minutes before they left) (against the will of our guide who lied about times and would not speak to us like adults). She also made announcements to the group saying that there is no food in Positano (your next stop) and you absolutely can’t find food there, (which is just a straight up lie, there is plenty of food if you would like to wait). All of this “scaring” the group into eating at their partnered gas station restaurant. We had some cold weather as well and they would not allow the group to eat inside in the empty dining room, so everyone has to eat their gas station food outside in 40 degree raining weather.
Pompeii was great! Guide was a little rushed, but overall great experience at the site.
Positano is also great! They will take you through some tourist trap areas, like your limoncello stop, but the town is super cute with lots of shops, food and treats.
If I were to do the tour again I would definitely pick a different group/company with more organization, kinder tour leaders, and with less underlying deals with companies that they try to bully you into.

Not worth the bus drive - I was beyond excited to visit Pompeii, and was very excited to book this tour but ended up disappointed.
A rushed visit to Pompeii, a rushed pizza on the bus and touristy and overpriced Positano for shopping was not worth the 7+ hours spent in the bus.
Spend a little more money and book a private tour and enjoy a nice sit down lunch in a restaurant. And go to Sorrento instead of Positano.
Sonia seemed nice but pretty unapologetic about the tourist traps being overpriced.

Sardine can transportation. - Pompeii was amazing. The guide in Pompeii was great. The trip was ruined by the transportation. A 6 seat van with seats facing each other. Extremely cramped, no leg room and you are in it for 6 hours. Positano was essentially closed for the season. Not much open and no help from the driver. When we got back he stopped the car let us out and we had no idea where we were. Told us our hotel was “100 meters that way”.

Trip Ruined! - The trip was great up until the end, where during our shuttle down to Positano the tour company and driver crammed us into the shuttle and without properly checking to see if we were seated correctly. We came to a hard stop and were thrown against each other, with a woman breaking her nose and another breaking her teeth! This completely ruined the experience, and the tour company is refusing to take accountability for their failures in taking care of us and in their horrible selection of drivers.
