Pompeii and Amalfi Coast Private Day Trip with Pick Up
Description
The best way to visit Pompeii and the Amalfi Coast is traveling in a comfortable car, with an English speaking driver, born and raised in the area, so you'll really enjoy both the culture of Pompeii and the beauty of this breathtaking place...and this is what you are booking! There's the option with professional tour guide and entrance fees included at Pompeii On the first Sunday of each month the entrance at the Pompeii ruins is free and we can’t reserve tickets in advance, they must be bought on spot and there will be probably a long line and the possibility to don’t find tickets available. In that case you’ll be able to visit Herculaneum that normally is less crowded.

Itinerary
Visit of ancient Pompeii ruins
Positano, a tiered village built onto the side of the cliffs with a pebble beachfront and steep, narrow streets lined with boutiques and cafes.
A great place on the Amalfi Coast
Furore is a typical town on the Amalfi Coast, particularly known for its fjord. The latter consists of a striking recess of the sea, located on the way out of an overhanging valley.
About 1 hour drive from Positano we will arrive in Amalfi, visiting the iconic multi-colored 9th-century Arab-Norman Sant'Andrea cathedral or browsing the rows of shops along the town's side-streets. Between the 9th and 11th centuries, it was the seat of a powerful maritime republic.
You can decide to visit Ravello instead Amalfi

Excellent service from Gianluca. Made the day easy and stress free. Best tour guide/ driver ever!
This was a wonderful tour. Our driver, Gianluca was a joy to talk to and had plenty of interesting information about what we were seeing during our time in the Almalfi coast and while in Pompeii. We felt super comfortable and safe the whole time, which was important when traveling with kids. They communicated with us prior to arriving and were waiting for us when we got off the ship. Definitely note if you have mobility issues so they can customize your tour. Thank you so much for a wonderful day!
The tour guide was knowledgeable and the driver was kind and accommodating. Both were wonderful with my kids and I felt safe the entire time.
This tour was incredible. We spent the entire day with Gianluca, and he made a point to remind us that we should relax and he will figure out all of the timing details and we shouldn't worry about a thing. Claudia gave us probably one of the best tours we have ever done in her walking tour of Pompeii. She was so knowledgeable and was an absolute pleasure. Due to timing, we hit "only" two towns - and we let him choose. We did Positano and Ravello - and of course drove by the others. We didn't have any particular spaces to see in mind so we let him choose. Gianluca is from the area and grew up on the coast - so he knows every road and town very well. He picked us out a great spot for lunch and gave us time to explore at our leisure. He was always a couple of steps ahead and it was great to learn about the coast with someone who is so proud to call the area home. He has a great sense of humor, was incredibly friendly, and made sure we were comfortable and happy with our day. Prior to booking, I researched several other tours that basically do the same tour. But, the others seemed to complain that the driver wasn't friendly or informational - but Gianluca is both. He told us if we would prefer to keep it quiet, then he would not talk and let us enjoy. We wanted to hear, so we told him to talk as much as he wanted to!
Great tour! We had a plan for the day, but our guide let us know where we were being too ambitious (time needed to drive between specific spots). He then suggested a few alternatives which I'm very glad we listened too. Having expert local knowledge as part of the team made all the difference, especially with 8 people in our group. We saw places that were never on our list and loved all of them. Thanks Gianluca!!!
Really enjoyed this tour of both Pompeii and Amalfi coast! Shuttle van driver was safe and very friendly. I gave wrong port for pickup throwing everything behind schedule but he made it work and was very gracious. Tour guide at Pompeii was a very knowledgeable Archaeologist. Tailored the tour to us and did his very best to avoid the large crowds that were present due to 1st Sunday of month being free to public.
Awesome!! Paulo... very punctual... very knowledgeable... great driver. He got us to Pompeii where Andrew took us on a GREAT tour of Pompeii. Took us to places nobody else was and very knowledgeable of the city! Highly recommend! Paulo then took us to the almalfi coast. Had a couple times to get out and get a drink and enjoy the views. Again..... Great and highly recommend!
We had an amazing day touring Pompeii and the Amalfi Coast. Our driver Gianluca was excellent. He is a native of Sorrento and knows the area very well. Was great to talk with him and hear about the history and current day in the Sorrento and Amalfi Coast region. He is also one of the smoothest and patient drivers I have ever seen. I would not hesitate taking another tour with Goodheart Limos and will definitely ask for Gianluca. Highly recommended.
The excursion exceeded our expectations. We had an incredible day exploring the Almafi Coast and Pompeii. Our driver, Gianluca, planned the perfect itinerary. He led us to Almafi, as well as Ravello, where he recommended beautiful gardens and an infinity terrace with surreal views that were the highlight of our time in Italy. He also recommended delicious restaurants that gave us a flavor for the delicious food of the region. A private tour of Pompeii was also arranged for us! Our guide, Romelo, was a Pompeii native and was extremely knowledgeable. The private tour was invaluable - we would have missed so many details and fascinating facts without it. Overall, this exclusion was well worth the price, and I would recommend to anyone, especially if coming off a cruise ship for the day or if limited time to take in all that Almafi Coast and Pompeii have to offer.
Gianluca was an amazing tour guide and driver. And Andrew gave us a great historic overview and tour of Pompeii. Pompeii is definitely not for those using canes to ambulate however. Some of our party had to sit out that portion.
