Fully Guided Pompeii Day Trip with Option for Mount Vesuvius or Amalfi Coast

Our tour guides were excellent. No complaints at all with them. They were entertaining and took good care of us. However, the itinerary itself was much too long. We spent significantly more time on the bus than at the various sites. My recommendation would be to do either a day trip to Pompeii or a day trip to the Amalfi Coast. Don't try to do both in the same day if you're traveling from Rome.

Our tour guide was excellent. Made adjustments to accommodate for weather. Very friendly and knowledgeable

This was a long, tiring trip but totally worth it!!! I absolutely loved our host, Roberto. I was worried I would be bored during the bus ride to Pompeii but he was super engaging and enthusiastic. He gets bonus points for being funny and kind too. Pompeii was hot during august but not as crowded when I went. Mt Vesuvius is very charming too!

Enrica (Tour guide) and Andrea (bus driver) are amazing!!! The bus was clean and comfortable. Enrica provided a lot of valuable information in a very pleasant way. Fews things I would like to know before booking this tour. Positano + Pompei The tour takes about 13 hours We spend almost 3 hours in Positano and 1:30 in Pompei. I had the expectation it will be the opposite (more time in Pompei). If you really want to visit Pompei, you may get disappointed… book a tour for Pompei only. If you want to have a glimpse of Pompei, than this should be enough. My recommendation to the Organization of the Tour is to make it clear about the average time on each stop. I went with my wife and two kids (10 and 13) and they shared the same frustration of being so little time in such incredible place as Pompei.

Maryann was an incredible tour guide. Passionate, knowledgeable, kind and funny. I really enjoyed all of the interesting facts she shared about different topics. The Pompeii tour guide was also very great. We have already recommended this tour!

Pompeii tour was good, as was the local guide. Our lunch in the local restaurant was fine, nice pizza but nothing special, it was arranged by the tour guide, you pay separately for lunch, but this was expected. The Vesuvius part is just a steepish walk to a disappointing hole in the top, but how often can you walk up a volcano. To and from Pompeii is a rest stop in "Area Varlese, a motorway "service" stop of sorts The stop is needed but hard to think of anywhere worse, toilets were dirty and broken, and hugely overpriced for everything, a small bottle of coke was €4, while 2 poor quality donuts and 2 sandwiches was €26, we binned them all after a few bites. The return journey stopped here too for a "surprise", a tasting session of a local liquor which again was for sale at inflated prices. The tour operator should stop elsewhere along the way! Would I recommend this trip? Not really.

Our tour guide Peter was so knowledgeable and we learned to much about the country, Roman history and the science behind what happened that fateful day in Pompeii. We were there during the heat wave of early Aug 2022 and were so grateful to have a couple umbrellas for shade and lots of water. Climbing Mt Vesuvius was an adventure! Over 90 degree hike up to be followed by a HAIL storm ☔️ on the way down. A memorable and unforgettable day for sure! Thank you Viator!

It was all very well organised, and the tour leader (Barbara) was very knowledgeable and friendly and she took us through the whole tour with a lot of information. Also our Pompei guide (Carla) and our coach driver (Antonio) were very good. We really enjoyed the trip and better than expected. My children loved it. We would definitely recommend it. Arriverderci!

The tour took us where it said it would. Pompeii and Positano. However, the ratio of time spent on a bus to the time actually spent on site was not worth the price or headache. The bus ride for 11 hours in total was spent listening to people loudly snoring, smacking candy loudly in their mouths, and an overheated baby squealing. We would’ve been better off taking the bullet train from Rome to Naples and hiring a guide there for Pompeii. Positano has a nice view, but as a day trip from Rome it’s just too far to be worth it. There’s nothing but overpriced, generic souvenirs in the town. If you do go - be sure to bring noise canceling headphones and maybe pack your own food. They stop for 15 min each way at a very expensive tourist rest stop in Cassino. Before arriving, they let you know there is no time for lunch but you have only one option of purchasing a pizza/drink/desert combo for 15 euro. It was waiting on the bus after the tour - but it is a poor representation of pizza from Napoli (or pizza anywhere for that matter). Getting into Pompeii was efficient and our local guide moved us along w/ occasional humor. But the tour is very quick. Then back on the bus for a long drive to transfer to another shuttle to get down towards Positano. There you have 90 min of free time which is just enough to walk down to look at the small, crowded beach and back up to get back on the shuttle, and back to the bus. Then they made a “special” stop at a limoncello factory (not actively running at the time) which was only a very expensive gift shop for 15min. Then back on the bus for 4+ hours to Rome. Our tour guide was sweet but timid. Any time she got on the bus microphone to mention something she was timid and giggly - but really didn’t share anything that exciting or have the kind of personality that you hope for in a tour guide. She then really only starting rambling (and giggling a lot) into the mic for the last 45 min clearly working her way up to timidly asking for tips. Save your money, your time, and your sanity. Take a bullet train. Rent a car. Just don’t tether yourself to a 14-hr day on this bus being herded like cattle from one expensive tourist stop to the next.

All the guides we had was really amazing. But it was a little rushed since we had a lot of things to see and do in only one day. And please don't do this in the middle of summer with extreme temperatures. It was absolutely too hot to focus sometimes
