We had an amazing day! My husband and I were picked up at our B&B right on schedule, and together with our driver, one other couple, and Giuseppe as our guide, we went on to Pompeii in a nicely air conditioned van. Even after a quick breakfast and bathroom break along the way, we arrived a little early for the Pompeii tour, but our Pompeii guide was already there and ready to take us. We enjoyed a terrific tour there with our small group of 4. Then we continued on to Positano, with overlook/photo stops along the way, and had plenty of time to walk around, enjoy lunch, and shop. Next, we went on to Amalfi, again with overlook/photo stops, where we enjoyed a limoncello tasting and had ample time to walk the town. On the way back, we stopped for an extra special view of Mt. Vesuvius. Everything about the trip was excellent - our driver, our tour guide, and the Pompeii tour guide. I 100% recommend this tour!
Excellent tour with guides Giuseppe and Max. Patient and took there time to explain everything. The tour guide in Pompeii was also amazing.
It was such a great experience to have the tour with Federica, Nicola and Max. Everything was well covered and Federica, Nicola and Max were so considerate and helpful. Travelling with a child is never easy and having people like Federica, Nicola and Max really makes it convenient. Absolutely recommend travelling with them 😔 Hope to have another trip soon 🤗
We had a wonderful day from start to finish. Our guide in Pompeii (Ali) was very interesting and considerate of our comfort. Well worth paying for a tour guide at the park. Our tour guide and our driver were both great. Guisseppi kindly made sure we enjoyed our tour throughout the day and our driver skilfully battled crazy traffic and narrow winding streets. I highly recommend!
Max was an amazing driver and tour guide. The trip was seamless and so beautiful. Would definitely do this trip again and recommend to friends.
Incredible experience. Our driver Max was amazing. He was knowledgeable and kind to all passengers. Loved the smaller group experience.
This was an amazing day trip from Rome. Such a full day of beautiful views, rich history that you only really know a bit of coming in, and special time at the coast. Our driver Max with Mama Mia Italia tours was perfect. Patient, kind, informative, and helped deliver an experience that was beyond what I had even hoped for this trip. There is quite a bit of walking and it can be warm depending on the time of season you are visiting but if you have a full day to spend, you should hands down do this tour. The experience at the Pompeii archeological site was so enriching and fascinating. And the time in Positano may be my favorite time spent on this round in Italy for us. Amalfi was beautiful and a bit crowded but worth seeing. Absolutely thrilled we booked this.
This is a wonderful full day of awe. Our driver Max was so kind and knowledgeable and took care of our experience like we were family. The Pompeii tour was phenomenal with Francesca. The archeological site was so much more than I thought going in. We attended at the start of high season so it was a bit busy on the road and at the coast but worth it. We had lunch in Positano that was fabulous and time to shop and walk around. We spent a little bit of time in Amalfi but honestly that was enough, it was beautiful but very busy. Worth seeing. It was a special trip. It is a FULL day and lots of walking and everything I had ever hoped for. Our daughters said “Give Max 5 stars, he was amazing!”
Antonella, Francesca, Max, and Nicholas were outstanding! Amalfi was beautiful beyond words and Pompeii was an incredible experience. Thank you for making today unforgettable!
We had an amazing day with Ali as our host and guide on this trip! We started at Pompeii and got a private tour, spending a couple hours seeing the amazing sites and learning the background of the history and culture from guide Francesca. Then, off to Positano for lunch and to Amalfi to explore. Throughout, Ali provided expert historical background and commentary. Massimo was a maestro on the roads - it’s an amazing drive up the coast and we had stops for pictures and views. It was a pretext day and highlight of our trip. A wonderful day trip and worth every penny!
