Rome to Pompeii, Amalfi Coast, and Sorrento day trip with skip-the-line Pompeii entry, an archaeologist guide, and limoncello tasting for $79.

“This was a really nice trip, pompeii in particular was very interesting. Our main guide was natasia, she was excellent, lots of fun facts and stories. Our driver was Danilla and he was also excellent especially along the coastal roads. I’m not sure the trip to the lemoncello factory was needed. They didn’t show it being made or anything it was really just a shop but other than that I enjoyed the tour”

Although a lot of the shops were closed in Positano because it was a winter tour. it was still a fascinating place to visit. The coach driver was very skilful negotiating the winding roads. Overall a wonderful day, well organised and well paced. A great way to see Pompeii and Positano.”

“If you only have 1 day to spend, South of Rome, this is an excellent value. You should see this part of Italy. Scenery is gorgeous, Pompeii is awesome and the guide was informative. The van was a little rickety for a 3 hour drive there and 3 hours back. There was plenty of time for Pompeii, but a little rushed in Positano. But there's only so much you can get in a day!”

“Our tour guide, Mikala, seemed very knowledgeable. When we arrived at Pompeii, we were handed off to Eliana for the on-site tour. We had a small group with us, but she walked way too fast. Most of the people in the group had a hard time keeping up with her. We continuously keep getting separated and she seemed annoyed that she had to wait for people to catch up. Especially with the uneven stones and walkways, this was frustrating that she went so fast. We were glad to get some information from her but it was not worth what we spent on it.”
