Excellent experience! It was very cool walking through Pompeii and then hiking to the top of the very same volcano that destroyed the ancient city. The tour guides were very knowledgeable and friendly. The bus driver was very skilled as well! The place were we stopped to have lunch was wonderful. Only suggestion for those booking the trip - avoid Sundays! Recently the government made admission into the Pompeii park free on Sundays, so it was extremely crowded (apparently about 20,000 people visited the park the day we went). We stood in line for an hour and a half in the beating sun, maybe more, waiting to get in. I do not place blame on the tour guides, for they had no control of the situation and had no idea how it would play out since it was the first day of free admission. Other than that, the experience was perfect.

The tour was limited without much historical information. They stop several times at businesses that sell you things. Waste of time. Others offer better tours so this one is not recommended

While tour group can't control, we spent far more time in line for Pompei than actual tour. Following Pompei, we wasted time touring a Lemon Liqueur plant so only had an hour in Positano. Finally, we never made it to Amalfi so only visited 2 of the 3 stops.
