Great trip!

Patrice_C, Sep 2023

Both areas were beautiful in different ways! Stunning scenery in Amalfi coast, amazing society in Pompeii!

Trip got some mixed review by overall the sights and learnings were overwhelming in a positive way.

Bud_W, Jun 2023

Amazing order of Pompei and the breathtaking beauty of the Amalfi Coast; Pompei guide was excellent. Driver was very kind and congenial but spoke very little English. Also, 'luxury' ride was in an older Chrysler minivan. A little misleading, which dropped my rating from a 5 to a 4.

Great day trip.

Phillip_F, Jun 2023

The driver was on time and very friendly. The guide at Pompeii was knowledgeable and funny. Enjoyed lunch at Positano.

Beautiful one of the best tours I have done with viator

Leslie_C, May 2022

Amazing great time we had with Stefano. He was super nice and picked us up and drop us off from our hotel. We loved Pompeii tour and got to see amazing views in Positano and Amalfi coast. Beautiful communities we loved them! We highly recommend. Specially if you have a mix of ages with different walking abilities and strengths.

Excellent Day Trip!!

William_V, Apr 2022

Great all day excursion! Small group of 8 tourists…van picked us up at our hotel, and was on time! Tours were great! Pompeii had an English guide with hearing devices to make it easy to hear. Lots of people because of Easter. Wear good walking shoes and mind your step! Lots of places to twist an ankle! It was a 13 hour day, but well worth it! Amalfi Coast was incredible! Wish we could have stopped every so often for pics as you can’t get good ones from the moving vehicle. Enjoy!

Thank you very much for your email, we work hard for the success of the tours. Kind regards Michele

Horrible experience

Tina_O, Jan 2020

Our tour guide only showed us what he wanted too. I felt like there was a lot more to been seen, he only showed us one of the bodies and I have seen lots of the history in others pictures. We should have had a longer time walking around touring Pompeii on our own since they changed my day to Sunday and most of the coastal town of Amalfi was closed. I don't think this tour should be available on Sunday, we spent 3 hrs. sitting around cause not much was open

Response from Host, Feb 2020

We’re sorry to hear that you didn’t enjoy the tour. The guides in Pompeii are all certified professionals, they always make sure to let you see the most important things while explaining their historical importance. Pompeii is as vast as it is beautiful, so it is unfortunately not possible to see all the available locations and bodies in a shared guided tour. In addition, please notice that, in an effort to preserve them, not all the bodies and locations are available to the public and can only be seen through pictures.

Bellisimo - A memorable tour of Pompeii and Potisano.

MARIA_C, Nov 2019

Our driver Andreas was wonderful . Pompeii was such a historical wonder. Our tour guide had much knowledge to share that added to the wonder of Pompeii. Andreas our driver was waiting for us when we finished the tour and took us to a wonderful restaurant by the ocean where we had a wonderful meal. He patiently waited while we shopped. He was a careful driver and had great manners. Would it be possible to get the same driver if we re-visited?

Response from Host, Dec 2019

Thank you very much for your review! We're glad to hear that our guide helped making the experience even more unforgettable and that Andrea provided excellent service. Our drivers and guides are always very happy to hear about the positive feedback!

Beautiful positano.

Charles_N, Sep 2019

Family of 5. Pick up at hotel with one other couple. Driver and "guide". He was learning English to be a real licensed guide. He really didn't talk much during trip. We driving fast like 75 to 100 miles/hr. Long drive. Our second guide at Pompeii was late and we were on a strict time table to make it to amalfi, positano. Pompeii guide was rushed but pretty good. Not much time to take pictures since it was from one station to next. We chose not to goto amalfi to enjoy more time in beautiful positano. We had 1.5 hrs free time No guide. Long day but enjoyed positano the best.

Response from Host, Dec 2019

Thank you for your review. We always want to give the chance to visit as many places as possible in our tours, while also learning about their history. We're happy you enjoyed the beautiful Positano and hope to welcome you again in Italy in the near future!

Great Day Out

Aireta12, Jul 2019

Day trip to Pompei and the Amalfi coast. Transportation was very comfortable and tour guide Debra and the driver Nico could not have been more accommodating and helpful. Pompei was amazing and the local guide Hector provided a fascinating insight into the history of the city and eruption and what presently remains of the city. Amalfi and Positano were included as part if the tour and the views were breathtaking. Although there is free time in both Amalfi and Positano, our host Debra went out of her way to provide insight and explanation of the key points of both cities. A great day out and highly recommend.

Response from Host, Jan 2020

Thank you very much for sharing your beautiful experience with us. Our guides are really happy to know that you have enjoyed the tour in this wonderful location in the Amalfi coast!

Disappointing!

Maura_L, Jun 2019

We couldn't go to Amalfi Coast due a road closing, so we ended up going to Naples and walking around for 4 hours without any direction at all...I wasn't even able to get a partial refund because in order to get a refund, "I would have had to tell them before the trip started." The guide hadn't even been to Naples before except when she was a kid she said. So basically I paid 560 dollars (for myself and my fiance) to get dropped off and forced to walk 10 miles in a city that I didn't even want to go to. Lunch wasn't even comped. Trip was so disappointing!

Response from Host, Jan 2020

We are sorry about your disappointment. Due to road closing, not depending on us, we had gave you the opportunity of visiting Naples, one of the most beautiful and famous city in Italy. Please notice that as written on your rservation voucher lunch is not included in the product you have booked.

Pompei and Amalfi

Melva_G, Jun 2019

Magnificent!!! From our pick up to our return to the hotel the experience was excellent. Our guide Lore and our driver Diego provided an excellent service. The ruins, the view of the lovely Amalfi and Positano are still theme of conversation in our family. 100% recommended!!!!

Response from Host, Jan 2020

Thank you for your beautiful review, we are so happy to know that you had an excellent experience with Lorie and Diego. Pompeii and Amalfi coast are among the most suggestive places in Italy!

Good day tour

Jose_R, Jun 2019

The staff was super freindly and engaging. Two tour guides, and a driver. The main tour guide spoke good English and the driver and the tour guide trainee spoke Spanish. As a person who is bilingual i found this very helpfull and made for a more fun excursion. In transit to our destinations there was plenty of time for rest, bathroom stops and food stops at said rest areas. The only complaint I had is that we did not get enough time at our second stop and third stop. I would have liked more time at the city of Amalfi. That said, highly recomend this trip.

Wonder Tour with great tour guides and a great driver

dmd195, Jun 2019

Would highly recommend taking this tour. The only negative is the tour guide in Pompeii should have a microphone or provide audio equipment. She spoke excellent English but we could not hear her at times. The walking tour was 2 hours. The driver was excellent and private tour guide accompany us was very informed during the ride. We totally enjoyed the day. They picked us up at our Airbnb @7 and dropped us off at 9:30pm. It was quite private; only a total 6 persons.

Pilar_A, Jun 2019

The first part of the day at Pompeii was great - our guide there was Ana Sophia and she was terrific. Very knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. Unfortunately the afternoon stops at Positano and Amalfi was awful. We were given only 45 minutes at Positano to have lunch, use the facilities and visit the town - an impossible feat. We managed to find a restroom, choke down a panini on the run and stop into one shop before getting back in the car. At Amalfi we were given only 25 minutes to visit. Our guide for the drive was awful (can't remember her name). She gave us no information and when we asked questions she made up answers that were not true (as compared to guide books and plaques we saw on the walls). Our driver Diego was great and tried his best to give us information but his English wasn't that good so he was limited in his descriptions. The girl guide who was awful made the trip boring and frustrating. Other than Pompeii which was great thanks to the local guide Ana Sofia, the rest of the day was spent 90% driving in silence. Would absolutely not recommend this tour. Do Pompeii on it's own and spend a whole day (at least) on the Amalfi coast.

Excellent

Kelly_O, May 2019

This was my favorite visit out of all of Italy. Amalfi Coast is wonderful and Pompeii was fantastic. Our tour guide was fantastic. I felt I was on a tour with a friend. I was picked up and dropped off at our Airbnb and the best part was the small group. We didn't have to travel in a huge tour bus but two small mini vans. It was much nicer. Only caution I would throw out there is if you get car sick, bring something with you. The roads on the Amalfi Coast are like a roller coaster!

Jason_W, Feb 2018

Great service. Victoria arranged for a local guide at the Pompeii ruins who was informative and entertaining. Victoria also recommended a restaurant at Amalfi Coast which was absolutely heavenly - the views, the service, the food were impeccable!

Good day to you all, My...

Lucy P, Jan 2018

Good day to you all, My mom and I took this tour, ANDREA our guide who at the same time was our driver is a very nice men, very caring, drives carefully, very nice person, speaks English perfectly well. As if we had a body guard, he stayed with us all day, when I was trying to buy souvenirs he helped me and started bargaining with me. My mom needed to enter the bathroom, he paid for it and never accepted to take the money back. The tour overall was amazing, actually more than I expected, our first stop was at Pompeii, an English speaking guide was waiting for us, Pompeii is a must see destination. After Pompeii, Andrea took us to Amalfi coast and to Positano, two incredibly beautiful islands, we had enough ti,e to buy souvenirs and to take wonderful pictures. Your trip to Italy will be without a meaning if you don't go to Pompeii and to these beautiful islands. Thank you dear ANDREA for making this trip an unforgettable one, God bless you. Lucy and mom

steven h, Oct 2017

This tour was exactly what we had planned it to be. Since we were not able to incorporate more time in southern Italy on this trip it gave us a chance to see Pompeii, the towns of Amalfi and Positano where we had a great lunch thanks to the recommendation of our very wonderful driver Andrea. Andrea also took us on the famous Amalfi drive along the gorgeous coast which was a definite on our bucket list. The weather was clear and sunny and Andrea's expert driving and care for us stopping at beautiful look out areas was exemplary. His care for us as we toured was very dedicated and focused. This was a very long day starting early in the morning along with an ambitious itinerary that was made easier by his recommendations. We feel that it was a good trial run for our future visit to southern Italy. And if you get the chance to have Andrea as your driver so much the better.

Very nice tour and great tour guide...

csmiththebrave, Aug 2017

This tour was the highlight of our stay in Italy. Our tour guide was superb. We were scheduled to be in a small group of six, but my wife and I were the only ones on the trip. So, effectively, we had a private tour, and our guide was knowledgeable, friendly, articulate, and caring. Easily an A.
