He gave us some great information as we left Rome and also whilst on our trip that you’d be unlikely to hear anywhere else. The trip itself was fantastic. A lot packed into the day but well worth it.

A local guide leads you through ancient streets, villas, and frescoes, followed by a scenic Amalfi Coast drive and free time in Positano. Guides such as Sabina, Jonathan, and Errica have earned praise for clear explanations, humor, and careful organization.

“I would do this again! We considered taking a train to Pompeii to see it on our own but wouldn’t have been able to make it to the Amalfi Coast. This trip was well organized and convenient. Our guide was Jonathan and he offered lots of information on the way there and back and was helpful and informative and funny. Unfortunately it was a very rainy day so it rained the entire time we were at Pompeii and some of the time at Positano. Even with the rain, it was worth the money and a good way to spend the day.

“Excellent tour with very knowledgeable guides. Would have liked more than 1.5 hours at Pompeii, as it's such a large place, and it felt quite rushed, but also understand that it's a long day from Rome fitting everything in. Disappointed we could not go up to the cone of Vesuvius, due to the weather, but we will be back! All in all would recommend the tour operator, and of you want to see Pompeii properly, you need toto book a day trip that focuses solely on that.”

Pompeii Tour & Amalfi Coast Day Trip from Rome

9.Pompeii Tour & Amalfi Coast Day Trip from Rome

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 1,932 reviews · 13 hours (approx.) · from $240

Spend a long but rewarding day traveling from Rome to Pompeii and the Amalfi Coast. An archaeologist guide leads the ruins tour, while an English-speaking tour leader handles the day. From April through October, you usually visit Positano. In winter, the route shifts to Sorrento.

“The bus ride was comfortable. Vito was an awesome guide and very graceful with his knowledge of Pompeii. The Amalfi part was kind of lacklaster. If someone were to go swimming or even just get down to the beach then they would miss the bus. There were no directions to get to the beach. I think it would've been helpful if directions were included to the beach on the the pamphlet with the restaurant recommendations.”
