A great day trip from... - A great day trip from Rome! Very convenient with the hotel pick up and drop off. Our driver Paulo was great! Our guide at at Pompeii, also named Paulo, was also excellent. We had about 2 hours at positano and an hour at amalfi, just as described. Ended up being a private tour with just my family of 4. Overall a great day!

Great way to see two great places in one day - We had a great time on this tour. We were picked up at 7AM at our hotel by our guide Bruno and our driver Marizio. After a quick stop to pick up another family at their hotel we were off to Pompeii. We had a very comfortable van and after a quick stop for a bite for breakfast, we were there. We were introduced to our local expert Pompeii guide and she took us through the ruins. I cannot say enough how valuable having a guide here was. Sure you can walk around and look at stuff but without a guide you wont know what your seeing. We were giving tons of info on everything Pompeii, without being overloaded or bored.
Our second stop was the Amalfi coast. I'll warn you now, the ride is not for the faint of heart. The roads are very tight and basically along a cliff the whole way. It didnt bother me but if your a little squeemish be aware. The thing is, unless your going by boat, theres no other way to get there. All that being said, the views are breathtaking and the towns and surrounding areas are gorgeous. After parking, Bruno took us through the towns and we stopped for lunch at a seaside restuarant. The food and the view were amazing. After lunch we did some more browsing through the town and then hopped back in the van for the ride back. Again, its a beautiful but somewhat harrowing ride back up the cliff. When we got to the top we were lucky enough to get a cliffside view of the sunset that made the cliff hanging totally worth it!.We then passed through a top of the mountain town that i didnt get the name of but was really beautifully decorated for Christmas.We then settled in for the ride back and Marizio expertly handled that van like he was driving a Ferrari!
In conclusion it was a great day. I think the Amalfi coast could take a que from Cinque Terre and blast through the mountain somewhere so trains can get you there without the cliff hugging car ride. Again, if heights do not bother you its nothing, if they do,just relax with Marizio behind the wheel because its well worth seeing the area. Our next trip there we will definitely go in a little warmer weather and spend a few days to see everything leisurely.

family day trip - We had a private car for our family. The driver, Walter, and assistant, Katrina, were wonderful. She made a reservation for us for lunch in the perfect place with a corner table surrounded by windows to the sea. Our guide, Lilly, was AMAZING!

Exciting drive to Pompeii and Amalfi Coast - On December 20 2019 we had the Greatest day trip to Pompeii and Almalfi coast Thanks to our driver Pierpaolo Carloni who was so kind and professional in his driving and explaining the sites as we drove, and than in Pompeii our Guide Margherita was amazing in Her knowledge and explanations. Back on the road along Almalfi coast Pierpaolo made sure we saw every breathtaking turn and site and made sure he took pictures of Molly and I with this amazing scenery. This tour and the whole day was a highlight of our trip. Thank You!!

Intimate group tour - My Husband and I got picked up by our guide and driver at our hotel.We drove in a lovely van to Pompeii and toured with a private guide who was lovely abc very funny.We then drove to the Amalfi coast and saw Positano and Sorrento and later Amalfi Town.We had a lovely lunch in Positano but didn’t have a lot of options because it was the down season and a lot of shops and restaurants were closed.Food was good and the beach was empty because it was about 40 degrees.The coast was beautiful but I almost had a heart attack driving form the coast and I wasn’t even driving.The only thing I would recommend is that the guide in The car get a microphone because she had a really soft voice and none of could understand what she was saying.

Great itinerary - The trip to Pompeii and the Amalfi Coast was a great outing. The private tour in Pompeii was excellent and we wish it had been a bit longer. Weather was great and we had a wonderful lunch on the beach

Pau.Mar was thebomb.com host, tour guide and driver! He was knowledgeable, flexible and hilarious! - Our tour host Pau.Mar was courteous, knowledgeable, flexible and the consulate professional from the pickup through the winding mountains along Amalfi. He took us to the BEST restaurant overlooking the Mediterranean Sea. And the sunset on the trip back, was glorious.

Amazing Italy Experience - The Pompeii tour was amazing.. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable of its history. The tour guide and driver of the van were friendly and attentive. The guide shared the history of the Amalfi Coast along with its heritage, traditions, culture and food. I would highly recommend this tour. The coastal areal view was absolutely beautiful. We did visit early September so the weather was warm to hot and sunny.

Full-Day Small-Group Pompeii and Amalfi Coast Tour from Rome - This was a last minute booking which turned out to be an absolute gem!! It turned out to be a private tour just for the two of us. We were met by a lovely gentleman who drove us to Pompei for a private tour with a guide and then on to the Amalfi Coast. The weather was sensational which made the trip magical. The only “cherry on top” would have been if the driver booked a restaurant for lunch on the coast.
