Check off two UNESCO-listed wonders on this full-day tour from Rome: the mighty ruins of Pompeii and the idyllic Amalfi Coast. First, you’ll discover the relics of one of ancient Rome’s most important cities as you explore the remarkably preserved streets of Pompeii. Then, soak up the scenery along the Amalfi Coast and stop for lunch (at your own expense) in the picturesque village of Positano. This small-group tour is limited to 18 guests to ensure a personalized and intimate experience.

The Pompeii ruins, in the shadow of Vesuvius, lived up to every expectation together with our excellent guide, Illaria. Similarly being in Positano was like a dream come true. We were warned in advance that it would be a big (long) day, and it was, but well worth the effort when you have limited time.

To start off, our tour guide Andrea did an awesome job. It is a decent drive to the Amalfi Coast from Rome and Andrea was very engaging in commentary both in history of the areas we were driving through and in other discussions on random topics of interest. He also had great recommendations on which beaches would be good to visit from Rome for us for a beach trip we were planning.
Our tour hit a snag with a delayed bike race around Pompeii due to weather which blocked off roads that led to the Pompeii site. It took a bit of time, but Andrea and our bus driver worked on the fly with different groups to figure out when we would be able to get to the Pompeii site instead of canceling that part of our tour.
The Pompeii site is very interesting to see firsthand, a really interesting place to visit as a snapshot frozen in time. Although the Amalfi coast is very picturesque, I would say we enjoyed the Pompeii experience more.

This was a great way to spend the day! It’s a long one but worth it. Our tour guide Cosmos was very nice and gave us lots of information and time to nap on the trip to Pompeii. The bus is fairly comfortable however if you’re tall as I am, a bit cramped. The rest stop used on both sides of Pompeii and Positano is typical tourist spot.
Pompeii is an intriguing place. Our guide there, Claudia, is an archaeologist who actually is involved with the excavation. She was very informative and precise in her information. Also very personable and nice. We learned so much. It is a beautiful place in a sad way.
.Positano and the coast are beautiful breathtaking spots. We stopped for pictures on the way at a gorgeous spot. A tip would be to sit on side away from driver. Although the driver side is obviously going to be on coast side on returning journey, the angle is harder to get pictures. Positano is very small and has lots of shops. Vendors line the streets with beautiful artwork. Be sure to enjoy a bit of lemoncello. Just be careful, it’s potent.

If you have an extra day to spend, then yes this trip is worth it. I wish we would have spent more time in Pompeii and that the guide/archeologist was more engaging.
Positano is a cute coastal town which comes highly recommended. But the drive down is full of twists and turns so beware.
The driver and main guide were great. Again, if you have an extra day to spend then why not.

Our guide, Federico, was exceptional. Sonia, the Pompeii guide, was also outstanding. Additionally, our driver did an excellent job. Positano and the coast were breathtaking; Pompeii was truly remarkable. Highly recommended!

The Amalie coast was beautiful. Don't waste time at the restaurants. Grab something to go so you can explore the town.

The bus time was long it was worth it. The bus comfortable and our guide very good. The destinations of Positano and Pompeii are outstanding and make the trip a must do.

We are a family of 4 with an 11 and 14 year old. We were a little worried it was going to be a little too much of a trek, but it was such a smooth easy day and we were SO glad we maximized our stay in Italy and ventured outside of Rome to see Pompeii and the Amalfi Coast. The pick up spot and van were super easy, and comfortable, they stop to allow you to get a snack and use the bathroom. The solo time in the town was wonderful, Pompeii was incredible and we had the best tour guide ever. I highly recommend this trip. The only thing I wish we would have had more time to browse the shops and restaurants next to Pompeii but understood we had to get back to Rome. Lovely day worth every minute and penny.
