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.

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.

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!

Our tour guides Mario and Sasha were wonderful and helpful. It was a long day as we met at 7am and returned 7pm but the amount we did was very impressive. It was about a 2 hour drive to Positano in a nice van with about 10 others. We did a quick tour and tasting at a limoncello factory then had about 1.5 hours in Positano. We would have liked more time. It was a bit of a rush trying to grab lunch and make it to the beach. It was a very busy place and maneuvering the crowds was time consuming. After an hour drive we met up with Sasha for a tour of Pompeii. This was about a 2 hour tour. Overall, this was an impressive itinerary and we had a great time.

The tour guide was warm, friendly and very knowledgeable of Pompeii. The second tour guide for Positano, Almafi Coast, was just as accommodating and caring as well.

Really enjoyed this tour! It was super cool to visit Positano and Pompeii. Plus we had a nice unexpected stop at a Lemoncello factory. The only thing that would have been nice would be a bit more time in Positano, but I understand that's tough logistically. You get about 1.5 hours in Positano, which fills up very quickly if you try to have a sit-down lunch there.

Couldn’t do Positano and Amalfi Coast. Sorrento added as consolation. Pompeii was fantastic. Guide was excellent. Sorrento not enough time to really check it out. Desere took great care of us.
