A great experience
We did the morning tour from Positano and it was absolutely fantastic! We started off with a brilliant drive with Eduardo who pointed out some of Positanos most beautiful photo spots (even stopping for a few). When we arrived in Pompeii we were immediately made to feel welcome by our guide Irene. She was absolutely fantastic the whole way round and was brilliant in delivering the amazing parts of Pompeii’s history. I think to improve the trip it would definitely be worth having a stop off at a shop for some sandwiches/drinks as it’s a long time to go without food. The headphones were also quiet which didn’t help when trying to listen, but it did not affect the day.

Very accommodating!
We thought our cruise ship was coming in to Positano but it was actually Amalfi. The tour operator was able to change our pickup location so we were still able to do the tour

Great experience from start to finish
Amazing experience from the start! Our driver, Michele, was fantastic and always on time. The tour of Pompeii was very insightful. We started with an amazing museum to see how Pompeii would’ve looked back in the day and that really helped you visualize everything once touring the ruins. Michele picked us up where he dropped us off and took us to an incredible vineyard with some of the best wine we had in Italy and the best red wine vinegar we’ve ever had. Great tour of their vineyards and everyone was so friendly. We would definitely do this tour again or a longer version of Pompeii with the same company as there is just so much to see. Definitely a must do tour!
