This was a great excursion from start to finish! Paula was a great guide, very knowledgeable and fun. She had a great sense of humor, and was a wealth of knowledge about the areas we experienced on the tour. Antonello was a great driver. This was a great way to experience Positano and the Amalfi Coast if you’re short on extra time in Italy. Pompeii was great as well, and our guide there, Carmen, was amazing as well. Would definitely book again!
One day for the whole year

The 1-day excursion to Pompeii and Positano is wonderful. It is worth the distance and the trip. Particularly Positano and the Amalfi Coast are a dream. We did the excursion with City Wonders and everything was excellent. All on time, super well explained and enjoyable. Special mention for the guide who touched us, Lavinia, a genius. Pleasure your guide, and also worth a mention is the driver, Daniel. Everything wonderful, super recommended! I'd go a thousand times.

This is a great tour. It is long though. We had about 6 hours of travel time and got back to Rome about 8:30 p.m. But the bus was comfortable and we got to see the beautiful Amalfi Coast city of Positano. It was incredible. You do have to transfer to a smaller van because the roads in Positano are so narrow. But what an experience. Pompeii was outstanding and our guide, Sasha, was great and very knowledgeable. Our tour guide made sure we had breaks for food and rest rooms. Also provided very good historical information on the ride, but no so much that you couldn't close your eyes for a nap. Great tour and I would recommend it.
cancelled with no notice.

Our experience was terrible. our original trip was cancelled by the tour company 2 days prior to going. we re-booked a different, but similar tour through Viatour, showed up at 630am to find out it had also been canceled. no email, no text, no call. this was extremely unacceptable. after a few attempts, we reached a live person who apologized for the misunderstanding and offered a refund (woohoo) but no other options. very disappointing!!!

If you enjoy sightseeing through a bus, this could be a good experience. Otherwise, more than half the time is spent driving in the bus especially with the traffic. Julio, our guide was knowledgeable and gave a good information about the key points in and around Rome and along the exquisite Amalfi coast. Positano looks amazing but was too crowded even on a hot day. During the Pompeii tour, we felt like living in the past with the great info from the archeologist guide.
A must do tour!
