A Long Day. But Well Worth It.

Paola, our guide for the journey was friendly and informative. As for our driver, Antonello. He was beyond excellent for what he was tasked to deal with. Paola handed us off to another guide when we got to Pompeii. Veronica. She was local and passionate about passing on the information to us regarding many aspects of Pompeii living that you don’t get from books and pictures.

We happen to do this tour on an Italian holiday weekend… Which we did not realize when we booked it so Positano was very busy and the traffic getting there was pretty bad. We still had enough time to get down to the beach and touch the water as well as do a little bit of shopping in the town. After Positano we headed to Pompeii with much less traffic. We arrived later in the afternoon than expected, but this ended up being a blessing in disguise. Although we did not have quite as much time to wander around Pompeii on our own, we basically had Pompeii to ourselves. Our tour guide Sasha was absolutely amazing. He was so fun and shared so much information. He was dressed in a suit, which was impressive! We got to see one of the newest archaeological areas that opened which was the brothel and it was incredible. All of our photos are of empty streets in Pompeii or with just us… It was really an amazing experience to have the place to ourselves. Our tour operator on the bus was wonderful. He was easy to understand gave us little tidbits of info going out of Rome as well as other small spots along the drive. It’s a long day, and it was a little bit longer for us since the traffic was so bad. I recommend not planning anything else on the day you do this tour because it’s a lot in one day. I highly recommend this tour if you want to get a little bit more Italy exposure when staying in Rome. We were on a girls trip with four 40 year old women in good health. It’s a lot of walking and Positano is down hill to the beach and up hill to get back.

Are return bus ride to Roma went from 2.5 hrs to 4.5 hrs due to multiple car accidents. I wish we could have re-routed per WAZE to save time but driver keep to route and stop at Food/Shop stop. I would have opted to re-route and skip the Food/Shop stop that was very expensive. The tour itself was 5 stars.

The tour highlights for us was the Positano experience..a truly remarkable city built into a mountainside. The ruins at Pompeii was a fascinating story and a must see. Our tour guide Mario was great. Sadly the transportation miss the mark. We were provide a small van for this 13 hour trip, not a more comfortable van with toilet facilities

Pompeii and Positano adventure

This was a good trip. The tour guide was difficult to understand at times. If you needed a bathroom, you had to ask every time and your guides seemed annoyed that you needed to go. It would have been nice to have some free time in Pompeii. Everything felt very rushed the whole day. I would have be willing to pay extra for a 2 day tour.
Amazing Day!

We had an amazing day! We started in Positano and had some time to explore on our own. Then we traveled to Pompeii. The history there was incredible. We recommend taking this tour. It was a long day, but well worth it!

I always wanted to see Pompei and the tour did not disappoint. Victoria (?) was knowledgeable and animated when going through the history and stories. I do apprecaite the use of the headphones so I didn't miss any narration even at the back of the pack. The trip to the Amalfi Coast and Positano were also great. Mario kept lively narration during the trip but also had quiet times to just enjoy the drive. The driver Jordy (?) was amazing espoecially navigating those narrove streets. The break at the Cassino for snacks and bathtoom breaks was nice but they need to improve the bathrooms since there were some non-working or non-existent flushing mechanism. They are going through renovations so hopefully, they will improve on that part. My husband and I like the whole tour nevertheless. The only thing I felt was a little disappointing was the switched of schedule from Pompei to Positano to Positano first then Pompei. I think it has to do with the temperature. We only had an hour an half in Positano which was already taken up by lunch. I didn't have the chance to go through the little shops which they had a lot of because we had to get back to the bus and it was a trek to get up from the beach area all the way up. Maybe if the original schedule was done, we would have more time. In any case, we still enjoyed it and highly recommend the tour. Thank you.

This tour was hands-down one of the highlights of our trip to Italy! From start to finish, everything was seamless, comfortable, and incredibly memorable. We were picked up in a spacious and comfortable bus that made the drive to both Positano and Pompeii easy and enjoyable. Our tour guides Valentino (our fantastic driver), Mario, and another wonderful gentleman whose name I unfortunately can’t recall—were with us the entire way and made the experience truly special. They were kind, funny, informative, and so thoughtful throughout the day. One of them even gave our 5-year-old son a pair of sunglasses, which absolutely made his day! When we gave him a tip in U.S. dollars, he was genuinely excited he said he saves all his U.S. money for when he visits America. It was such a sweet and personal moment that we won’t forget. At Pompeii, we had a dedicated tour guide named Sasha who was amazing. She was not only incredibly knowledgeable but also great with the kids in our group, including our son. She made ancient history come to life in such a fun, engaging way. If you have time in your itinerary, this tour is a must. From the breathtaking views of the Amalfi Coast to the deep dive into history at Pompeii, everything was perfectly planned and executed. We are so thankful for the guides and memories from this day it was truly unforgettable.

I don't usually leave reviews but feel compelled to do so now. We took this tour a few days ago and it was nothing short of amazing. Our tour guide (forgot her name) was very informative and passionate about this area and about sharing the history of this beautiful country. My husbands hearing aid charger was lost during our trip over from the USA but the Tour Guy uses a Whisper hearing device for their customers which was a tremendous help so he and all the people on the tour could hear the guide with no problem. We highly recommend the Tour Guy and will definitely use the them again.
