Itinerary
The archaeological excavations of Pompeii are one of the most fascinating and important sites in the world. This ancient Roman city was buried by the eruption of Vesuvius in 79 AD.C., preserving extraordinarily intact buildings, roads and works of art. During your visit, you can stroll through the cobbled streets, explore houses, temples and theatres, and admire frescoes and mosaics that offer a vivid insight into everyday life almost two thousand years ago. Pompeii represents a unique opportunity to immerse yourself in ancient history and better understand Roman civilization.
Positano is a picturesque village located on the famous Amalfi Coast known for its colorful houses that climb the hill and overlook the Tyrrhenian Sea. Its narrow streets, full of boutiques and restaurants, lead to beautiful pebble beaches and crystal clear waters. A perfect place to relax and admire breathtaking landscapes. Stop for lunch (optional), enjoy some free time in this little gem nestled between the sea and the mountains and stroll through the famous craft shops where you can find typical handmade sandals, linen clothes and ceramics.
Amalfi is a picturesque coastal town famous for being one of the four maritime republics, known for its impressive St. Andrew's Cathedral and picturesque port. With its narrow streets Amalfi offers a fascinating mix of culture, history and natural beauty, making it a must-see destination for those visiting the Amalfi Coast. Here you can taste, included in the tour, the famous Limoncello liqueur.

Good experience - a way to see Pompeii and the Amalfi coast in one day. High tourist season - all places very crowded. Very long day but it had to be. Would recommend the tour operator.
Thank you so much for your review and for choosing Mamma Mia Tours! It was a pleasure having you with us. We look forward to welcoming you back to Italy soon!
We had an amazing time. We did Positino and Amalfi from Rome - not Pompeii. We are from the UK and both socially awkward, so were a bit nervous beforehand, but needn’t have been, it was brilliant. The driver, Max, is so talented! Also, welcoming, funny, and warm. Very knowledgeable on Italian culture. Giuseppe, our guide, was the perfect mix of interesting but also independent, he allowed time for us to wander alone and then would rejoin with interesting facts about the area or shops. Pointing out key landmarks along our journey too. Also a great photographer. Despite being a loooong day, both Max and Giuseppe never faltered. They also let us nap in the car. Definitely the best day of our trip! Highly recommend.
Thank you so much for your wonderful words! We’re delighted to hear that you had such a special day with Max and Giuseppe and that you felt comfortable from the very beginning. We’ll definitely share your kind review with them — they’ll be thrilled! It was a real pleasure to show you Positano and Amalfi. We hope to see you again in Italy soon!
This was by far the highlight of our trip to Italy! Our entire family had an unforgettable day. Our driver Max, was outstanding. He shared so many interesting facts and stories throughout the journey, making the drive just as enjoyable as the destinations themselves. His driving skills were truly impressive, especially on the narrow, winding roads of Positano and Amalfi. We always felt safe and in great hands. The scenery was absolutely breathtaking, and every stop was worth it. From the beauty of Positano and Amalfi to the fascinating history of Pompeii, everything was perfectly organized and exceeded our expectations. I highly recommend this excursion to anyone visiting Italy. It is absolutely worth it and creates memories that will last a lifetime. Thank you for giving our family such an incredible experience!

Giuseppe and Max were excellent on our tour to the Amalfi coast. Guiseppe took great care of us with information about every location we visited. He found us a lovely lunch spot and assisted us with finding shops for our unique shopping needs. Guiseppe is very energetic and fun throughout the entire journey. We would definitely recommend them both and use them for our next trip.

It’s great to know that you appreciated their kindness, flexibility, and helpful recommendations. We hope to welcome you back soon for another fantastic experience!
I was hesitant to book this as it was such a long day but it was truly worth it! Our guide and driver, Giuseppe and Nicola were wonderful! Giuseppe shared his knowledge on points of interest the entire day. Nicola kept us safe. Now that is a drive we would not want to do on our own! They were kind enough to make our lunch reservations and made frequent stops for a bathroom break or quick photo. Pompei wax amazing and spending a couple of hours in Positano and Amalfi really was enough with all of the crowds. A long but truly worthwhile trip if you do not want to do this drive on your own.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re so happy to hear that you decided to join us and that the tour was worth every moment. Giuseppe and Nicola will be delighted to hear your kind words about their knowledge, care, and professionalism. We’re glad you enjoyed Pompeii, Positano, and Amalfi, and that we could make your long day comfortable and stress-free.

Thank you for your kind review! We’re happy to hear that you enjoyed your experience with Dina. We’ll be sure to share your lovely words with her. We hope to welcome you again on another tour in Italy!
We highly recommend Mama Mia Tours!! This was an amazing tour and the fact that they came to our hotel was even more amazing. There was no central meeting point to get to at 6:30 in the morning. Antonella our tour guide greeted us in our lobby. We saw so much in such a short amount of time. Antonella and Max our driver went over and above to make sure we didn’t miss anything! We even stopped on the road for breakfast and coffee. Max was able to navigate all the back roads and wasted no time behind stopped cars. He always knew an alternate way to go and he was an excellent driver. We felt very safe in his van. At the end he took us to a special viewing site where the views were incredible. Antonella also knew different places for us to stop and take unbelievable photos. She gave us a tremendous appreciation of Pompeii, Positano, Sorrento and Amalfi. She told us a lot of history related to Italy. She also took us into multiple shops as she was determined we taste the local foods. Our Pompeii guide Francesca was very knowledgeable. She knew all the ancient history stories behind the ruins. All in all it was a great day and we were in the hands of wonderful people to guide us. Book this tour. You will not be disappointed!!
Thank you so much for your amazing and detailed review! We’re thrilled to hear that you had such a memorable experience with Mamma Mia. We’re happy that Antonella, Max, and Francesca made your day special with their knowledge, care, and professionalism. It’s wonderful to know that you enjoyed the convenience of the hotel pick-up, the beautiful views, the local experiences, and the history of Pompeii and the Amalfi Coast. Your kind words and recommendation mean so much to us. We hope to welcome you again soon for another unforgettable journey through Italy!
Our driver, Max was very nice and was efficient at getting around. Our tour guide, Anna, in Pompeii did a wonderful job of walking us through the city. Positano and Amalfi were packed with people and the traffic was awful. They are beautiful locations but I would not recommend going to these places on the weekend.
Thank you for sharing your feedback with us! We're happy to hear that you appreciated Max's professionalism and Anna's expertise during your visit to Pompeii. We hope to welcome you back in the future for another wonderful experience in Italy, perhaps on a quieter day to enjoy these beautiful destinations even more!
