Amazing day trip
Andrew S,Apr 29, 2026

5.00Really enjoyed the experience. Tour guide Patricia was knowledgeable and gave lots of good information. Didn’t talk too much on the bus, allowing personal time but also with good information. Plenty of stops on the way to Sorrento without feeling like overload. Sorrento is amazing, a lovely place and having free time was great to navigate it how we wanted. We brought a pack lunch to sit in the park with amazing views and I would recommend this. I don’t think the time in Sorrento was too short, some more may have been better but also felt like we got to do everything we wanted. Pompeii experience good also, the guide very knowledgable and took great care to explain and show you the various parts of the city. I felt I gained a lot of knowledge here. The trip took a total of around 13/14 hours from meet up to drop off due to traffic, but it didn’t feel like that. It was an amazing day and I thoroughly enjoyed it

5.00Must see .so many things to see and do. The coast line compares to nothing I have ever seen. You get to rest between each location helps with tried legs
Tour Guide Laura was the AMAZING. But avoid Positano - it's a HORRIBLE TOURIST TRAP!!!!!!
JAMES J,Apr 28, 2026

5.00The tour was excellent. I would say that Laura was the main reason we enjoyed the tour as much as we did. She was kind, provided amazing amount of information and generally added greatly to the experience of the Amalfi coast. My only firm suggestions are below: 1. DO NOT EVER GO TO POSITANO. The place may be beautiful from a boat on the water - but it is not beautiful when you are in it. It's overcrowded (constantly), the businesses' all sell the same overpriced junk and the food that you have time to purchase isnt' good (bad sandwiches or pizza - which doesn't really represent cuisine of the Amalfi coast). Positano has become the worst definition of a tourist trap. I would strongly suggest a re-think of your tours to the Amalfi coast to find less touristy / overcrowded towns that are not as difficult or overcrowded such as Ravello. Sorento was better - still touristy, but less condensed. I think the other re-design or re-think of the tours is the amount of time allowed. There is not enough time to truly sit down and enjoy a full meal. The short timeframe only allowed us to see the worst most touristy side of Sorrento. I would suggest perhaps arranging something at a restaurant for a longer lunch as an option, with less time in the worst most touristy areas. I would imagine people might enjoy a truly nice organized lunch in a beautiful spot, along with a shorter time in the more touristy areas - but the lunch would provide more valuable memories, better reviews and likely more business for you. Again - I want to emphasize that Laura was a pleasure. We enjoyed all the added information she provided throughout the tour. Thank You Laura!
Organized, friendly, and informative trip and guide

5.00There are many different types of tour guides you can get for an activity. And they can really make or break how fun a day is. Antonioni was incredible knowledge and friendly. Outside of the incredible sites what I will remember from this day is how great of a guide he was and how much I learned from him. Also, Giovanni, our driver was perfect on the roads in very tricky conditions.
Amazing tour guide, tour itself not worth it.

4.00Highly recommend our tour guide, Mikayla. She was so wonderful! I don’t however, recommend this tour. You spend more time at Pompeii and by the time you get to Positano you really only had enough time to walk to the beach, go in a few shops, and walk back up. For the cost and for the amount of time spent, it didn’t feel worth it. We also got back later than anticipated so it was really a 13.5 hour travel day. I do recommend our guide though, she was lovely and knowledgeable!
We went from rome to pompeii, to sorrento and then the amalfi coast

5.00Was an amazing experience. Our tour guide Antonini gave us such a spectacular day, he was so full of knowledge and was so helpful in every way possible. Would 100% recommend.
A very long day

4.00My first thought is why tell people to get there 20 minutes earlier and yet we are all still standing there at 7am, I didn't feel it was organised. The coach was packed and not comfortable, it is a very long day, we did stop regulatory for toilet breaks, but it really felt so long and we were back at nearly 9pm due to bad traffic. The stops were nice, but it really felt rushed on both stops and you don't have the time stated in Sorrento it's not 3 hours, we barely had 2. The guide was pleasant enough and I liked her regular updates, but I feel it was too long to be on an uncomfortable busy coach.
A great tour with a very knowledgeable and friendly guide Jonathon. .

5.00Jonathon was a very knowledgeable guide and made the day fun and worthwhile ,It’s a long day but you have stops both on the way and on the way back to stretch your legs and for drinks and toilet breaks etc. The stop in sorento is well worth the visit you certainly won’t be disappointed. And if you’re lucky enough to have Jonathan as your guide you won’t be disappointed. We had a great day and highly recommend this tour.
Fantastic day from start to finish!

5.00John was awesome! Very knowledgeable. I felt the Sorrento part was too short given the distance we traveled and Pompeii felt rushed. But the experience of seeing both places was fabulous.
