My parents and I had a great day! The check in was clear and we met our guide, who brought us over to the bus. The bus driver was always right there for us throughout the day when we were making our way from place to place. We had a fantastic tour at Pompeii, with an amazing tour guide. Unforgettable! We had a nice visit in Sorrento and all the while learning great history and facts from our tour guide for the day!

This tour was a very long day. It's quite a drive to Pompeii. As the Pompeii part of the day, it was a little rushed. Their were times when you wanted to spend a little more time with art or looking at the ruins. But, we had to move to get back to the bus for the trip to Sorrento. You are only in Sorrento for 2 hours. Not really enough time to see anything and you have to fit in your lunch.<br />For me, you could skip the trip to Sorrento and give us free time in Pompeii after the tour.<br />Both guides, tour and Pompeii, we're very good and kept us very well informed. The bus driver was absolutely lovely.<br />Final thought, make it trip to Pompeii, that includes a tour and then gives you time to roam about. <br />This would also cut down the total time from 12 hours to around 9

Great experience, Aurelio was a great tour guide and so was our guide for Pompeii. The guides were knowledgeable and their recommendations were on point.

Pompeii was so interesting. Our tour guide hit the highlights in a huge city. <br />Throughout the day our tour guide had interesting facts about the area and a great restaurant for lunch.

Our Walks Tour to Pompeii and Amalfi was the highlight of our stay in Rome. The standout were our guides who joined us for the day. Andy, who accompanied us from Rome, was wonderful company who had great knowledge of the areas visited. Our guide for the ruins of Pompeii, Enzo, was outstanding! His knowledge of Pompeii’s history and enthusiasm made the experience even more enjoyable. Despite a big day, the tour is 100% worth it. I would highly recommend this experience to others. We would definitely book with Walks again.

All aspects we fantastic, from the driver and guide to the guide at Pompeii

The Pompeii guided tour was superb. The tour was conducted by a local guide who was formerly an archeologist. Her explanations were easy to understand, her english was very good and the audio headsets worked well. Caution: The tour description says it goes along the Amalfi coast. In our case it didn't, it stopped short, in Sorrento. Sorrento is a lovely place, though, just not Amalfi. Also, the bus had a lot to be desired - the air conditioning was inconsistent; being a sight seeing tour, visibility was unsatisfactory, especially for those in the rear seat (4 passengers of which I was one) who had no windows at all, and certain row windows were obscured somewhat by curtains in the pillars between windows.

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, 2025FAQs
Is there free time in Positano or Sorrento?
Absolutely. You’ll enjoy up to two hours to wander, eat, shop, or simply soak in the scenery.
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.
How long is the tour?
The tour lasts approximately 2 hours. It's perfect if you are short on time, but still want to see the best of the Uffizi Gallery.
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.
Can I bring a bag with me into Pompeii?
Small bags and purses are allowed inside Pompeii.
