Our guide Angela was great and the bus driver Giovanni incredible. Too bad the strong wind prevented us from visiting Amalfi. You can't control the weather... To be repeated

l dunno how this got rated as awesome. The trip was good but it could have been better. The tour guide Semih was amazing and kept it fun, but we hardly got to spend anytime in either of the island. Would have been better off to just go to one island and spend some quality time there, rather than hurrying and visiting two. Would not recommend this tour for that reason.
The tour guide was very nice and the location was also very beautiful. However, I would have liked more information about the itinerary in advance.

Beautiful city's, great and professional guide .
We had only 2 hours in Positano which is not enough , most time in the bus .
Our tour director, Fabriztia, was so good and knowledgeable, just the right amount of information to entertain and enlighten. The destinations were beautiful and the transportation was clean and punctual. I would definitely recommend.
Our tour guide was so attentive and the best one we had 20 day trip to Europe!!
The scenery was great. The ride was great. Please arrange more time for Almafi and Positano. Visits
We paid for Amalfi and Positano, but they only took us to Sorrento, the CityWonders agency decided to take us only to Sorrento because of the weather conditions.

It has been a very good experience, personally I would have liked 30 minutes more in Pompeii to explore but I understand we have an itinerary. The visit to Positano was like icing on the cake.

This experience is perfect if you want to to spend a day to venture further afield from Rome. We got the chance to see Pompeii and to spend some time in the beautiful Sorrento. We weren't sure if we would have enough time in Pompeii but with the heat and lack of shade, we appreciated the time restraints and felt we had enough time in Pompeii. I'd highly recommend and it was the highlight of our trip.
All good for ticketing, scanned through, very long day and you do rush through Pompeii but the guides are brilliant and lovely hour and a half in Positano - LL and Andreah were brilliant
I loved the experience of seeing so much in one day, Pompeii and Sorrento were breathtaking. However Personally I think you need to have less time spent in Sorrento and more foxus on Pompeii. I felt that we were only barely able to scratch the surface of Pompeii and the tour felt very rushed
I loved this trip, everything was so organised and our guide Rob (Roberto) was so lovely and funny! His story telling skills would draw you in!
The guided tour was well worth the price. Laura and Romel were excellent guides and really made the experience enjoyable. I gave it 4 out of 5 stars only because I expected a bit more from the Pompeii portion of the tour. That said, the overall experience was fabulous! The Amalfi Coast was absolutely stunning, and Laura even gave us small gifts and helpful tips on places to visit. A memorable and well-organized tour!
Barbara and Antonio were incredible, Barbara is such a great host we were so enthralled and had the best day! Her knowledge and the way she helped us all was amazing, for such a long day she kept her positivity and kindness to the end. Thank you! The sights were brilliant and tours and stops were fantastic.
Very well run and organised, our guide and driver were both fantastic... Could not fault the day.
Excellent experience worth seeing
Pompeii was great. Sorento was also really nice. The bus ride was pleasant other than the traffic on the way back.
Well organized and good guide

Positano is approximately 273 km (169 miles) from Rome. The best way to travel is by bus, which takes about 4 to 5 hours and costs between €16 and €26. Alternatively, you can take a train to Naples and then a bus or ferry to Positano, which can be more scenic but involves transfers.
Day trips usually start around 7:00 AM with buses departing from Roma Tiburtina Station. Return trips typically leave Positano around 5pm to 6pm, allowing for a full day of exploration.
Yes, it’s possible to combine Positano with other destinations like Pompeii or Amalfi Coast, but this may require a guided tour for efficiency. Be mindful that this will limit your time in each location.
Yes, a day trip allows you enough time to explore Positano’s beaches, such as Marina Grande, and visit local shops. However, prioritize your activities since time is limited.
Inclusions vary by tour operator but often include transportation (bus or train), some guided commentary, and possibly entry fees for attractions. Flexibility can depend on whether you book a private tour or a fixed itinerary group tour.
Some guided tours may include activities such as limoncello tasting or visits to local wineries, but this varies by tour. Generally, the tours including Sorrento as a stop offer limoncello tasting.
Group sizes can vary widely; larger tours may have up to 50 participants, while smaller group tours may have around 10-15 people. Private tours are available through various operators for a more personalized experience.
Many tours accommodate families and elderly travelers; however, it’s essential to check accessibility options when booking. Some tours may involve walking on steep terrain or navigating steps.
Most day trips do not include lunch, so it’s advisable to plan for meals separately. There are plenty of dining options in Positano ranging from casual cafes to restaurants with beautiful views.
Wear comfortable shoes suitable for walking on uneven surfaces and bring a light jacket if visiting outside of summer months when evenings can be cooler. Don’t forget sunscreen, sunglasses, and a hat for sun protection while exploring the beach areas.
