Fun Busy Long Day Trip - I had never been to the Amalfi coast, so I decided to try this day trip instead of just going to Pompeii as originally planned. Andrea was an excellent driver and took us to a few points of interest along the way. The van was comfortable for our large group of 7. I would recommend paying the modest extra fee for the private tour in Pompeii. Our guide was very good... if I were just visiting Pompeii, I would have spent more time than the two hours or so that we had, but we got to see a fair amount. The drive from there to Positano had spectacular views, and we had time for a nice lunch and a bit of strolling and shopping there. Be aware going in that this trip naturally requires a lot of driving time to reach both locations from Rome in a day... if you are like us you will snooze through the three hour return drive at the end of the day. A very nice day overall.

Outstanding Tour!! - This was one of the best tours we have taken in all of our travels. The company literally took care of everything for us! The extra cost of a private tour was worth every penny!!

Great Day Trip - My wife and I had an great experience visiting Pompeii and Postiano. Mr. Andrea you were excellent sir. I don't think anyone else could have done it better. (Thank you). The next time me and my wife visit. We will be sure to spend more time in Postiano, and the Amalfi coast. It was truly memorable.
Thank you again

The private tour of Pompeii was beyond our expectations and we wrapped the day with an afternoon lunch on the beach in Positano. Thanks for a day we’ll always remember.

Great catacombs tour and Ancient Rome - Wonderful way to tour the catacombs, Ancient Rome including the Appian way and learn about the rich history. Our guide was very knowledgeable and passionate about what he shared throughout the tour.
Federico was our tour guide and I highly recommend this tour! We had a group from age 9 to 60 and it was great for all ages. Very engaging and a great way to tour.

Wonderful day and Andrea is excellent! - Andrea is amazing. He is an excellent driver who took us to Pompeii and expertly navigated the narrow and winding streets to Positano. (Not for the faint of heart!) We thoroughly enjoyed our day.

This was a lovely getaway from Rome. - Pros: This was a lovely getaway from Rome. The Pompeii archeological site is a marvel. Our guide was native to Naples and her passion for the history of the city of Pompeii was a beauty to behold. We stopped a Limoncello factory which was quite a treat. The Amalfi coast is to die for and that little bit of time spent in Positano feel like being in a movie. The driver Andrea was a delight, patient and pleasant at al times. Cons are discussed below. This trip was incredible minus the Mafia issue which almost ruined the day for me. Without this incident I would have rated this tour 10 stars.
Cons: There is long distance travel and traffic. There is Mafia activity in Naples. We requested a last minute upgrade to a Pompeii private tour which required that we meet and pay the guide outside of Pompeii. Our guide was harassed by a street female who was standing over her shoulder and even asked us for twice as much as we were asked to pay. Our guide was also harassed during our tour in Pompeii. Even though they don't mess directly with you, it ruins the fun and causes a great deal of stress. Do not pay for upgrades last minute. Ask all options in advance and coordinate in advance through your service provider. Lastly, Positano is a hike if you are not in good health and fitness you may not enjoy it.

Skip this— expensive and misleading description of tour - I will say that the driver was very competent and courteous. That said, most of the excursion was spent in the car. We started this excursion at 6:50 in the morning and did not get back until nearly 830 PM. Of the 13 1/2 hours, approximately two hours were spent at Pompeii and under two hours at Positano.
The tour of Pompeii was marketed as an expedited private 2 hr tour with 12-15 people. Ours had > 30, lasted 1 3/4 hrs & didn’t even include 3 of the main sites— brothel, faun, Vetti houses. Ten to 15 minutes at the beginning were spent while the guide got free tickets for kids under 17 in the group.
I would not advise anyone to take this tour. It was very expensive and the description did not match the actual experience. Extremely disappointing— I had been so looking forward to seeing Pompeii.
