Had an amazing time! Cosimo was our tour guide in Italy (Rome to Pompeii) and he did a fantastic job. Worth the time spent!
Tripadvisor customer · Maria · Oct 15, 2025 Excellent
Pompeii was fantastic, we loved it. Cosmino our guide was amazing, he explained everything throughout the drive and trip and was very thorough.
Ilaria, our archaeologist guide inside the ruins was very knowledgeable and had a personal touch. We loved learning from her.
Sorrento was incredibly beautiful and a nice touch to the trip. We bought souvenirs and had a fantastic lunch in town.
We were nervous about the long drive/trip. We made a stop along the way for coffee and bathroom breaks. The bus was a nice, clean, 20-seater bus with air conditioning. It was great. Definitely recommend.

Both guides were excellent. The guide on the bus was very helpful and didn’t get upset when my husband had some difficulty walking. The guide at Pompeii was particularly knowledgeable on the subject was personable and very professional. Overall it was a great experience.

Which town on the Amalfi Coast will I visit?
Most of the year, you'll visit Positano. In the low season (November through late March), most of the businesses in Positano town close, making the town rather uneventful to visit. During this time, we will visit Sorrento instead, where you'll have plenty of options for lunch and shopping.
Is there free time in Sorrento?
Absolutely. You’ll enjoy up to two hours to wander, eat, shop, or simply soak in the scenery.
How long is the tour?
Roughly 13 hours, with an early morning departure from Rome and a return in time for dinner.
Can I use this tour as a transfer to the Amalfi Coast?
Unfortunately our transport vans do not have enough space to accommodate luggage so it's not possible to use this tour as a transfer to towns on the Amalfi Coast from Rome.
Is this tour wheelchair accessible?
No. Unfortunately, due to site restrictions we cannot accommodate wheelchairs on this tour. Guests should be prepared for a moderate level of physical activity, including standing for extended periods and climbing stairs, which may not be suitable for travelers with certain health conditions or mobility limitations.
What if the weather is bad (rain, snow, hail, etc.) on the day of my tour?
Our tours run rain or shine so please dress for the elements. We also ask you to please remember hats and sunscreen if you are taking this tour in the summer as it might be very hot.
Is lunch included?
No. Your guide will give you a few great recommendations for lunch spots and give you plenty of time, but where and what you eat is up to you.
Is Pompeii accessible to people in wheelchairs?
The streets of Pompeii have never been repaved or smoothed over so much of the city is nearly impossible to navigate for those with mobility impairments. If you use a wheelchair there is a special route for you, so please contact our customer service department for details.
