“Wonderful Tour of Amalfi Coast and Educational Experience at Pompeii - I thoroughly enjoyed the tour to the Amalfi Coast (Sorrento and Positano) with Mondo Guide and feel it was a terrific deal. Our small bus was in beautiful condition and very comfortable. I appreciated Genaro’s safe driving, and Andrea is an excellent guide with a nice sense of humor. There was plenty of time to explore the coastal towns and the views were from the bus were great. Roberta, our Archeological Guide at Pompeii, is exceptional, and I would have loved to have spent many more hours with her in Pompeii. It was wonderful to be in the ancient city in the cooler and less populated month of November. I would love to return to see and learn more! I recommend your tour very highly.” - Reviewed at 2024-12-09

Stop for a leisurely lunch at a seaside café, where you can enjoy a plate of handmade pasta paired with a glass of local wine. The flavors are bold and vibrant, reflecting the passion and tradition of Italian cooking.

“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!” - Reviewed at 2024-05-19

As the afternoon unfolds, take a moment to relax and soak in the beauty of Sorrento. The gentle waves lapping against the shore and the distant silhouette of Mount Vesuvius create a serene and romantic atmosphere, perfect for a weekend escape.

Positano: A Romantic Retreat

No romantic escape to Pompeii would be complete without a visit to the picturesque town of Positano. Nestled along the Amalfi Coast, Positano is a dreamlike destination with its colorful buildings cascading down to the sea. The Full-day Tour offers an hour of free time to explore this enchanting town.

Wander through the narrow pathways, where artisan shops offer ceramics, lemon products, and unique fashion pieces. The vibrant colors and charming architecture create a postcard-perfect setting, ideal for capturing memories with your loved one.

“Beautiful tour! - Such a wonderful tour! We went at the end of April. Weather was great. I loved every minute. I wish we had more time. My recommendation would book one of their tours that went to less places as it felt like there was not enough time going to all 3. You get to see each place but there is limited time to explore. Loved the tour guide, driver and the places we stopped. Overall a great day and I’m happy with it. I got so many stunning photos that look like something out of a dream. I will definitely come back and probably spend a full day or more at each spot.” - Reviewed at 2025-01-05

As the day draws to a close, the sun sets over the horizon, casting a warm glow over the town. The gentle breeze and the sound of the waves create a magical ambiance, perfect for a romantic evening stroll. Let the beauty of Positano and the charm of the Amalfi Coast leave you with memories to cherish forever.
