- Sorrento Coast - From Rome, you will be driven down through the southern countryside for a couple of hours. There will be a first quick stop along the toll road for some coffee and croissant break. Then we will make again our way until the bay of Naples and the Volcano Vesuvius come into sight. Here, along the winding Sorrento coastal road, you will be stopped again to take some striking pictures of the bay of Naples and the small and picturesque town of Sorrento.
- Positano Boats - After coffee and cappuccino break and pics about Sorrento and its bay, we keep on driving for 45 more minutes to get to Positano where a picture postcard comes to life, a patchwork of flat and domed roofs and vine-covered stairways tumbling down to meet the gentle curve of the beach. Enjoy time at leisure to explore this elegant summer resort with its designer boutiques, shops, and seaside cafes. You can visit the church of Santa Maria Assunta with its dome made of majolica tiles as well as a 13th-century Byzantine icon of a black Madonna. For lunch, you can choose between the various restaurants on the beach or some coffee stores for a light and delicious lunch.
- Pompeii Archaeological Park - The tour of one of the most beautiful archaeological sites in the world can be done by yourself or with a Licensed Tour Guide for an extra cost of

The city of Pompeii was destroyed and buried by the eruption of the volcano Vesuvius in 79 a. D. The eruption buried Pompeii under 4 to 6 m (13 to 20 ft) of ash and pumice, and it was lost for nearly 1700 years before its accidental rediscovery in 1749. Since then, its excavation has provided an extraordinarily detailed into the life of a city to the height of the Roman Empire. A walk inside the excavations, through the perfectly preserved bath, theatres, temples, markets, and forums will bring you back into the lives of ancient Romans.
After this extraordinary tour, you will be driven back home!

Great experience!! - My friends and I booked this private tour last minute and it was fabulous! Even though we got stuck in traffic due to an accident, we were along the Amalfi Coast and enjoyed the views. We did wish we had more time in Positano. We had one of the best meals at the restaurant our driver took us to. It was a great way to see more of Italy!

Wonderful day along the Amalfi Coast - It was a great day. Alessandro was a wonderful guide. He kept us on schedule but allowed us freedom to enjoy the areas where we wanted to spend the most time. He was also amazingly helpful! My husband realized he left his prescription glasses in the car and Alessandro delivered them to us the next day. Wonderful tour of the Amalfi coast. Thank you!

Best Day Tour of our Trip in Italy! - For those who are staying in Rome, this private day tour is worth the money. Plus, if you aren't familiar with driving in Italy and want to see the Amalfi Coast and Pompeii, this is the way to go!
Our driver was Allesandro and he was Amazing! Our family was picked in a black mercedes mini-van at our hotel in Rome (plenty of room). We stopped at a coffee shop and once we were on the road again heading to the Amalfi Coast, we realized one of our family members left their purse behind at the coffee shop. Not only did Allesandro call the coffee shop but the coffee shop found it and stated they would hold it until we came back later in the day. We drove to Positano. The scenery and city was phenomenal. We had lunch in Positano (on our own).
After Positano went went to Pompeii (lots of people!). Pompeii is very interesting. Lot of walking and picture taking!
After Pompeii on the way home we stopped to retrieve the purse. We were so impressed. The coffee shop put the purse and its original contents still sealed in a sealed bag to be delivered across the highway to their other location and they wouldn't take money from us.
We had an amazing and memorable day with Allesandro!

A great way to see the Amalfi Coast if you are short on time and based in Rome! - My husband and I took a tour with Alessandro to the Amalfi coast. Our main focus was to see Pompeii, and everything else was a welcomed extra!
We were lucky enough to have Alessandro for this trip, as we had experienced a wonderful full day tour of Rome with him the day before.
Alessandro picked us up at our hotel and we began the trip down to the Amalfi coast. Alessandro mentioned that he prefers to stop in Positano and then make the way up ending in Pompeii, however, the weather was not so accommodating and so we did the tour in reverse. This was a wise move on Alessandro‘s part, and is the main reason why you would book a tour with someone so experienced. He knows what he’s doing. Pompeii was absolutely breathtaking and being in that sacred space was an honor and a privilege. My husband and I were truly moved.
Positano is absolutely gorgeous. Get your camera ready to grab shots of the most beautiful terrain you’ll ever see. Alessandro also makes stops along the trip for those special, picturesque moments. Once in Positano, we were able to stroll through the beautiful town and make our way down to a restaurant for a lunch stop. There are plenty of shops and multiple options for dining. If you let Alessandro know what your needs are he is so easy to accommodate them, especially if you have mobility issues.
During the trip, we made several stops for bathroom breaks, and also to experience some of the best espresso and coffee drinks. Alessandro knows all the good spots! As silly as this may seem, I always take interest in going off the beaten path to experience what every day life on the road might be like for someone who lives in Italy.
Alessandro is the ultimate professional. He is kind, thoughtful, respectful, and extremely knowledgeable and organized. You won’t find a better person to spend your day with and learn all there is about Italy. I highly recommend him and his company. You will not regret booking with them. Enjoy your future trip!

Totally Worth It! - Our host was knowledgeable and familiar with the area. Was able to advise us on places to shop and eat. He was very flexible with what we wanted to see/do. Able to change our itinerary slightly. He took pictures for us and navigated the narrow streets and heavy traffic very well.

Could be better - The communication with the company was not good. I got an email with one hour to reply asking if we wanted a tour guide in Pompeii- when I booked this more than a month ago. Luckily I answered in time but the coordinator did not tell me I had to pay the tour guide in cash. I was 20 euro short and the driver had to lend me the rest until we got to an atm. The stop on sorrento on the way to Positano to get croissants is misleading. We essentially stopped at a packed convenience store off the highway- I was picturing a nicer cafe that gave a sense of the atmosphere. Also I asked for more time in Positano and less time in Pompeii in advance of the trip. This was also not communicated to our driver. The Pompeii tour guide was excellent - very engaging and knowledgeable. The car is very nice and clean and the driver was nice. It was just a bit of hassle for the cost.
