Itinerary
Your tour begins at Piazzale Flaminio
Meet your tour leader in Piazzale Flaminio, near Flaminio metro station and Viale Washington (bus area). Check in, then board a comfortable coach for your journey to the stunning Amalfi Coast.
Enjoy a scenic drive along the Autostrada del Sole
The road trip begins as you drive along the Autostrada del Sole, literally the Highway of the Sun, heading south toward the Amalfi Coast. Watch the landscape transform as picturesque countryside rolls by, dotted with bright lemon orchards and historic Italian villages.
Take free time to explore Positano
Next, arrive at the famously photogenic town of Positano, where pastel-colored houses seem to tumble down the steep cliffs toward the turquoise water. Enjoy a limencello tasting and listen as your tour leader offers insider tips on the best ways to spend your free time here. Then you're off!
Regroup for a guided archaeological tour of Pompeii
After your time on the Amalfi Coast, travel by bus to the ancient UNESCO World Heritage site of Pompeii, the Roman city buried by Mount Vesuvius in 79 A.D. Skip the long general admissions line with pre-reserved tickets and join an archaeologist guide for an in-depth exploration of this remarkably intact city, frozen in time.
Explore ancient Roman streets and public spaces
Follow your guide through the incredibly preserved streets, homes, and public spaces, which reveal fascinating secrets about Roman civilization almost two millennia ago. Your archaeologist guide brings the once-thriving city back to life with stories and insights.
Your tour finishes at back at Piazzale Flaminio
After a full day filled with the beauty of the Amalfi Coast and the history of Pompeii, relax on the return journey to Rome. You’ll be dropped off at the original meeting point at Piazzale Flaminio in the evening.

What reviewers sayPowered by Cicero AIBETA
Reviewers frequently praise the knowledgeable and engaging guides, especially at Pompeii, and appreciate the beautiful scenery of Positano and the Amalfi Coast. Some found the day long and the pace rushed, particularly at Pompeii and Positano, with limited free time and occasional discomfort during transportation.

We were concerned this full day tour would feel too long, but the pace was good and the tour guides were just right! Big contrast between Positano and Pompeii, which added to the interest. The coach was comfortable, the driver was highly skilled. Recommended!
Incredible experience!

From clear instructions to pickup spot until drop off at the end of 13ish hour trip, Tour Guy tour if Positano and Pompeii was a highlight of our Italian vacay! Nina, the main guide was easy to understand, obviously knew her stuff, and was patient and fun. Positano is like every gorgeous photo you’ve ever seen—definitely want to return when it’s less crowded and we can spend more time. The archaeologist who guided us through Pompeii was one of the best guides we’ve ever had.

The tour guide Oban was great! But the tour itself should have been better organized. The stop at a Limoncello factory was a complete waste of time. Too much time spent in Positano. Pompeii was the the last stop of the day and only an hour spent on touring it. We did not see the amphitheater or the museum.
The Tour is Worth the money!

It was a great trip. Positano was so beautiful, but very very crowded so alittle hard to enjoy. Wish we could have stayed a little longer. Pompeii was amazing. Our archeologists guide was very good. Made sure we stopped in shaded areas and did not rush us. Very long day LOL. But enjoyable

Overall a great tour. My group of 10 met right off the cruise ship and visited the Amalfi Coast. We could do whatever we wanted and we swam, saw sea caves, stopped for shopping and lunch. The water and views were amazing. The one area of opportunity was the communication day of. I was looking for a meeting point and was told the skipper would contact me that morning. I was contacted right at your time. I wish things could have been firmed up in advance as I was a little worried. Other than that, a great day.

Tour Guide rushed, didn't give us any answers, was very rude. He seemed agitated
Mixed experience: Great tour manager, but a terrible local guide.

Booking# 1153439 | July 10, 2026 He rushed through the ruins like it was a race, walking and talking so fast that the group couldn't keep up. He didn't give anyone time to absorb or enjoy the site. At one point, he walked so far ahead that we lost audio connection. He was completely checked out—frequently looking at his watch, talking on his phone, and sticking strictly to a script without taking any questions or engage the group. I paid for a tour to avoid the hassle and get a great experience, but this felt like a complete waste of time and money. Many other guests agreed and complained to the tour manager. Very disappointing. My contact: sri.rjain@gmail.com
Solid Trip. Glad we went.

To start, our guide was great. He was very knowledgeable, approachable and friendly (he even loaned my son his battery pack to charge his phone). The destinations are fun. the Amalfi Coast is a beautiful drive and location. It felt a little rushed (even though it was a 12 hour trip) as there was not enough time to see the beautiful beach, eat and shop (that’s all you do there). Pompeii was really neat as well. Had a funny guide there you made the place come alive. It was nice to be able to take a little nap on the (very nice) bus on the way back. I wish I could give it 4.5 stars. I’m glad we went.
Amazing!
