Phenomenal! Wonderful experience from start to finish. Our guide, Juliana, was very informative, communicative, prompt, and friendly. The tour length made for a perfect day trip from Rome without having to navigate trains, buses, or driving ourselves! Our driver (I don’t recall his name) deftly navigated the Almafi coast roads and traffic!!! I’m thankful to not have done it. Romero, our guide in Pompeii, was so knowledgeable and friendly. Time flew by! Don’t expect to see all of the ruins in this trip. That would take days. Do expect to hit the highlights and still be overwhelmed. Overall, this was a very nice day trip that took all the logistical stress off of us!
This was a great trip and my family of 5 (two adults, three teenagers) really enjoyed it. We lucked out and had the van to ourselves, so it turned out to be a private trip which made it even better. Pompeii was awesome, despite the insane heat. Our guide in Pompeii was very knowledgeable and gave us a great overview of the site. Positano and the drive along the coast was beautiful. I would probably have skipped the long lunch for a shorter meal with more time to explore/shop, but you still a good amount of time to get a feel for Positano. Our guide Doha was so friendly, and we really enjoyed spending the day with her. She gave us some great recommendations on restaurants and some cool places to visit when we returned to Rome.
Our tour guide, Nariman, was truly exceptional and made the entire experience unforgettable for my teens and I. From the very beginning, he was beyond kind, welcoming, and incredibly attentive, always anticipating our needs before we even had to ask. Nariman’s flexibility and patience kept everything running smoothly, . What really set Nariman apart was his sense of humor combined with an incredible depth of knowledge. He brought every location and story to life in such an engaging way that even the teenagers in our group were completely interested and involved the entire time. No small accomplishment! Learning felt effortless because Nariman made history, culture, and local insights entertaining, relatable, and memorable. We also want to recognize our driver, Luigi, who was absolutely fantastic throughout the trip. He was responsible, intuitive, and always seemed to know exactly where to stop for the most beautiful photo opportunities. Luigi made every ride comfortable and stress-free, and his local knowledge helped us discover some truly incredible picture-perfect spots that we would have otherwise missed. We felt safe at all times and was able to relax and enjoy the views. Nariman’s passion for what he does was obvious in every detail, and together with Luigi, they turned what could have been just another tour into one of the highlights of our trip. We left not only with wonderful memories, but also with so much new knowledge and appreciation for the places we visited. We cannot recommend Nariman and Luigi highly enough and would happily tour with them again anytime. Always ask for Nariman and Luigi. A dynamic duo.
Prompt pickup and the tour leader, Rishi, did an excellent job! The guide in Pompeii explained the history and answered all of our questions. Our driver Roberto did an excellent job driving threw very tight streets. Great day!
We had a wonderful day with Doha - she made everything smooth and seamless and we enjoyed every bit of it except for the heat, which of course we could do nothing about! The air conditioned van was welcome relief for sure. The stops on the coast were perfect and it was a great time, even a bit of shopping! Would definitely recommend!!
What a wonderful Trip. JB, our tour assistant, was kind, friendly and so helpful. He made sure we were comfortable and safe. He even made reservations for us at a beautiful sea side restaurant where we had an absolutely wonderful meal. Then…get this, he prepared a stop for us where we got to sample 3 different kinds of limoncello and a pistachio cello. Forgive my spelling :). After, on the way home, he arranged a stop at a beautiful spot and played photographer for us so we could take a great romantic picture together. I couldn’t recommend doing a private tour with this group higher. Money absolutely well spent!
An exceptional experience! Jazzy and Walter were terrific, and made a very fun trip for us.
Driver was excellent. He is accompanied by a translator. You stop for breakfast on the road. Then arrive at Pompeii and a local guide takes over. After Pompeii, you drive to positano for lunch on the beach. Then you take the coastline back, stop for brief pictures at Naples and then return to Rome. There is no talking during the ride, meaning, the translator is not giving you information as you drive, so a .good chance to sleep.if you need to catch up.
My wife and I had a lovely time today. Andrea and the driver were fantastic and ensured we were comfortable for the long day ahead. Romulo was a fantastic guide at Pompeii and honestly enhanced the experience so much with his knowledge and passion for Pompeii. It was also a beautiful drive along the coast and seeing all the cities truly made it a day we won’t forget !
The Amalfi Coast is a long way from Rome, but it is worth the trip. It is so beautiful and the guides were great.
Thank you very much for your kind review. We are delighted to know that you found the journey from Rome to the Amalfi Coast truly worthwhile and that the extraordinary beauty of the coastline made such a strong impression. We are equally pleased that our guides contributed to making the experience enjoyable, informative, and memorable. Your appreciation means a great deal to us, and we sincerely hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you again for another unforgettable journey in Italy.
